Do you feel like something’s off at work?

Maybe you’ve been left out of meetings, your responsibilities are shrinking, or you're questioning if AI might eventually replace your role.

You're not alone and you're not powerless.

In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, career coach John Neral tackles the rising wave of career insecurity among mid-level professionals. Whether your company is reorganizing, you’ve received a “we need to talk” message, or you're just uneasy in this market, this episode helps you shift from fear to focus.

You’ll learn three practical strategies to regain control of your career—and your confidence—before someone else does.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to spot real warning signs your job may be at risk (and how to avoid overreacting)
• The truth about fear vs. facts and why your feelings might not reflect reality
• How to inventory your professional value with metrics, achievements, and colleague testimonials
• Why your LinkedIn profile and resume must reflect your next move, not your last one
• How to create a “career insurance policy” through intentional networking and skills assessment
• The one powerful networking question that opens unexpected doors: “Who else should I be speaking to?”
• How to reframe job insecurity as an opportunity to pivot into something better aligned with your potential
