Forced Reset: The Chapter They Didn’t Teach You About

What happens when your career ends before you’re ready? Not a graceful transition-a forced reset that leaves you questioning everything.
This isn’t the career advice you’ve read before. This is the chapter they didn’t teach you about-the one where everything falls apart, and you have to rebuild from scratch.
In Forced Reset, Leonora Mbithi offers the RESET framework: a five-phase roadmap for navigating involuntary career transitions with intention, not just survival.
Drawing from her own journey and stories from professionals across industries, she shows you how to:

• Recognize your power to reframe your story
• Evaluate your authentic capabilities and values
• Strategize your development during uncertainty
• Establish your narrative with confidence
• Transition back with clarity and standards intact

This book is for anyone who’s been laid off, had their contract end unexpectedly, or found themselves professionally adrift. It’s for those sitting in month three, six, or nine, wondering if they’re being strategic or just stubborn.
Your forced reset doesn’t have to mean starting over. It can mean starting better.
