The other day, I was talking to a friend’s husband who had just been laid off from his job of 20 years. He was feeling overwhelmed, scared and unsure of what to do next.

“I’m curious,” I said, “Was this layoff a big surprise, or did you see it coming?

He said: “I have known this was coming for at least the last three years, but I never did anything about it. I always found an excuse not to make a plan, and now I am kicking myself.”

I wish this were the exception! I have found that most people in today’s bleak economy are not working on alternatives to secure their livelihoods, and this worries me. Do you relate to any of these scenarios?

• You have lost your job and are experiencing paralyzing fear – fear that keeps you frozen in place, unable to think clearly and, therefore, unable to take the steps necessary to formulate the next steps to secure your livelihood.
• You worry that your days in your current job are numbered – that one day soon you will find yourself among the throngs of the unemployed.
• You have been successfully self-employed for awhile, but find that your market is drying up and you need to create some new revenue streams.
• You are worried about a close friend or relative’s job situation and want to do something to help – but don’t know where to point them.

I have created Life After the Cubicle: A Quickstart Guide to a Successful Transition to Self-Employment to help you (regardless of your business experience or background) create your own job security by formulating a sensible Plan B for self-employment.

Now, regardless of whether you are in immediate need of self-employment, or want to have a backup plan in place in the event you lose your job, you can learn the steps you need to take to get started.

Feeling overwhelmed or panicked? Feeling like there are not enough (or too many) options and things to do?

I will share powerful techniques with you, honed over years of writing about starting a business and coaching hundreds of people, to ease your feelings of overwhelm so that you may tap your creativity and problem-solving skills and blast through procrastination. I will show you how to use your feelings of fear to your own benefit, and how now is the beginning of your best life, despite how dire the external environment appears.

What is it like to work with me?

“Working with Pamela on figuring out what to do when I grow up (I’m 40) dredged up all kinds of unconscious desires, dreams and fears. Pamela had just the right approach in dealing with the bumpy ride of discovery of my ‘right life.’ Never too wishy washy – never too stone cold rational. All you can ever ask of someone in this role is to be a supportive guide – a coach – a confidant. Pamela excelled at all of it.”

~Jeff

I’ve listened to Pamela answer people’s questions in her group coaching calls, and her advice is always insightful and amazingly practical. She is one of those rare people who understands both the big picture and the best ‘next steps’ to take. No vague theories here!”

~Helene Desruisseaux, www.WhereBusinessMeetsSpirit.com

“I began consulting Pam Slim at a time when I felt extremely frustrated, lost, confused and hopeless with my professional life. While I have been successful as a Clinical Psychologist in private practice, often times I felt unfulfilled professionally-speaking. Working with Pam has been enlightening, inspiring and productive. Rarely do you come across an individual with great intelligence, tremendous competence, integrity, and a natural ability to guide and educate, like Pam Slim. After several consultations, I have been able to clearly identify an exciting niche within my profession, a new business approach and the tools necessary to bring my practice to the next level of professional satisfaction. I highly recommend Pam Slim to all those who secretly (and not so secretly) feel a burning emptiness with respect to their career, regardless of how successful they are or have been in the past.”

~Angelica Perez, www.AngelicaPerez.com

“Pamela’s ‘out-of-the-box’ perspectives provide that invaluable quality of insight that one cannot achieve on his own. She personifies the intelligent, structured guidance that one should look for a coach. She provides a targeted, wise interaction that gives one an immediate value-add, unlike other coaches who listen and then want to ‘get back to you.’ Her coaching skills continually move you forward with your business and your life.”

~Mike Drips

My background

I am Pamela Slim, a former management consultant and training and development expert who spent nearly a decade inside corporations all throughout the U.S. This has given me an intimate understanding of the day-to-day reality of corporate employees. I am also certified as a Master Life Coach with New York Times bestselling author and O Magazine columnist Dr. Martha Beck.

In thirteen years of running my own business, I have experienced the ups, downs and sideways of growing a thriving business while creating a life that makes me happy, healthy and secure. And many years as a martial arts instructor taught me a lot about personal growth, fear and breaking through mental barriers. In this past year, my husband’s construction business in Phoenix, Arizona was hit hard by the shift in the economy, so I have learned first-hand about dealing with unexpected change.

Since launching my coaching business and blog Escape from Cubicle Nation in October of 2005, I have developed a strong and supportive cadre of readers, written a book (Escape from Cubicle Nation, published by Penguin/Portfolio in May, 2009), worked with hundreds of clients and have been featured as an expert in transition and entrepreneurship in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Money Magazine, US News & World Report, BusinessWeek and Psychology Today.

Most importantly, I am totally fascinated by the work I do. I think about it all day. I seek out the most experienced, creative and talented mentors in the world of career management and entrepreneurship, like Guy Kawasaki, Martha Beck, Seth Godin, John Jantsch and Rich Sloan. I will not give up until I find an answer. So I commit to you that I will bring my best thinking, talent and passion to help you create the next phase of life that is rewarding, interesting, energizing and fulfilling.
