After I lost my job for the sixth time in 2014, I had two jobs in call centers and I got a license to be a cab driver. I'm not prepared to sit and do nothing. I guess that's what has got me through; I'll do anything.
It took me three or four months to get another job, as a marketing manager for an accounting software company. The salary was £35,000 but I did very well and was headhunted to go to another company. However, that company then went bust. I went through a period of working in technology start ups and had three redundancies within a few years of each other. Each time I started to build up my salary to around £50,000 or £60,000 , I plummeted back down again.
The seventh and final time I was made redundant was in 2017, but it was actually the sixth job loss that hit me the hardest. I had got on blindingly well with the old CEO and when the new CEO came on board he had a completely different way of running things.I'd been there for five years when, in 2014, just before an executive meeting, I was called in to speak with the CEO and HR director.
After I lost my job in 2014, I had two jobs in call centers and I got a license to be a cab driver. I'm not prepared to sit on my backside and do nothing. I guess that's what has got me through. I'll do anything. I always said when I was running a business: I will never ask someone to do something that I'm not prepared to do myself.
I've also developed resilience. There has been a realization that no matter how bad things are, there is a way back. I've always said that you need peaks and troughs in life; it is only when you have the troughs that you appreciate how good the peaks are. When you hit the bottom of the barrel there's only one way to go: back up again.
