A message to leadership
If your organization is facing layoffs, consider including career transition coaching in your severance packages.
Even a few sessions can make a huge difference in helping people land on their feet.
Right now, many career coaches are generously offering their services for free. But this isn’t sustainable—coaches deserve to be compensated for their expertise and support.
If budgets are tight, even a small investment in career coaching can go a long way in providing stability during uncertain times.
At Impact Coach, we’ve built the infrastructure to help organizations offer career coaching at scale. If this is something you’re considering, let’s talk—DM me or Caroline.
A little extra kindness and support in these moments can create lasting goodwill and help keep amazing talent in the sector.
Let’s make sure no one has to navigate this alone.
🚨 Feeling the weight of a recent layoff or furlough? Not ready to jump back into the job market?🚨

Closing Thoughts
If this year has taught me anything, it’s this: showing up matters.
When I started posting daily seven years ago, I had no idea where it would lead. I just focused on one question: What can I share today that might help at least one person?
Some posts took off. Others didn’t. But I kept going.
And somehow, this community grew into what it is today—a space for connection, opportunity, and support in uncertain times.
💙 Now, more than ever, I need this community.
If you’ve found value in what I share, here are a few ways to stay connected:
🔹 TechChange is still seeking partners for our flagship digital health program.
🔹 ImpactSource is growing, helping job seekers stay in the social impact space.
🔹 Warm Intros is launching soon—helping you turn your network into real opportunities.
🔹 Opportunities for program promotion—let’s collaborate.
🔹 A potential pivot: Immersive Spaces—we’re building new tools for virtual learning.
I don’t have all the answers. But I’ll keep showing up. I’ll keep sharing what I can.
And to everyone who has been here—reading, engaging, and supporting—thank you.
This community means more than you know. 🚀💙
See you in the next one!
Nick
