Ep 30: Talking Redundancy and Resilience with Eleanor Tweddell

In this episode of the Influence & Impact podcast for female leaders I'm chatting to Eleanor Tweddell, author of the book "Why Losing Your Job Could Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened To You". 

We talk about how to thrive when you've been made redundant, from dealing with those initial emotions to making decisions about your next steps.  We also discuss how leaders who are making colleagues redundant can handle it with kindness.  Redundancy is one of life's big events and Eleanor has done a wonderful job of taking her experiences and creating a toolkit others can use.

About my guest:  Eleanor Tweddell founded Another Door when she was made redundant and had a feeling she wanted to do something other than corporate life.

She has worked for organisations such as Costa Coffee, Virgin Atlantic, Vodafone and Channel 4 - but it felt like it was time to change.  She started to get curious about what else was out there, and what else could she be doing. She wrote a blog, started a podcast and wrote a book 'Why losing your job could be the best thing to happen to you' published by Penguin in Nov 2020.

Another Door is a club supporting people in the space in-between a door closing and the next door opening and takes people from shock to thriving. Another Door also works with businesses to handle redundancies fairly and supports their employees with outplacement workshops.
