Podcast | Former CLO, ChenMed: Everything I've learned since being laid off as a people leader

Christopher Lind is a bold, digital-first talent leader who has spent his entire career at the intersection of business, technology, and the human experience.

So, when he was laid off from his role as ChenMed’s Chief Learning Officer just three days before the birth of his eighth child, it was a moment of chaos and uncertainty.

Many people leaders who have suffered a similar fate and lost their role will resonate with his journey of fear, insecurity, and the immediate urge to go all guns blazing to find the ‘next step’ in his career.

But reflecting also on the joy of having new opportunities open up in front of him, including the flexibility to spend more time with family, Lind’s journey is also one of excitement, human connection, and wellbeing.

Lind shares his advice for other people leaders finding themselves in a similar position, and how they can thrive in undoubtedly tricky circumstances.
