I've been witnessing a trend that deeply concerns me: an increasing number of layoffs in various industries. These are not just numbers on a report; they represent thousands of individuals, each with their own story, who have been impacted, not only recently but also from the early part of 2023. It's easy to feel disheartened and to question the motives behind such decisions. Many might perceive these actions as businesses prioritizing short-term gains over long-term stability, leading to swift changes in employment. It's a complex mix of cultural, legal, financial, and psychological factors that have led us to this point - a multifaceted challenge that our society is grappling with. However, I want to reach out specifically to those of you who have been personally affected by these layoffs. I want you to know, that this situation is not a reflection of your abilities or your worth. ✨ You are valued,  ✨ Your skills are significant,  ✨ Your contributions to our field have not gone unnoticed. ✨ These are tough times, but they do not define you or your future. I understand that words alone cannot fix the situation, but I want to offer more than just sympathy – I want to offer a listening ear and a platform for sharing. While I can offer jobs to anyone, but I can setting up a virtual meet and greet for anyone who needs to talk, vent, or just connect with someone who understands. Venting can be a powerful tool for processing emotions, and I am here to listen. In times of uncertainty, it's the strength of our connections that will carry us through. Let's use this opportunity to support each other, to build new connections, and to remind ourselves of the resilience and talent within our industry. #cyberlayoffs #layoffsupport #Cybersecurity #InclusiveCyber #DEI

In the search for Coastline Equity's next Integrator/COO, we've partnered with VisionSpark , led by the insightful Alec Broadfoot. Alec's approach transcends traditional hiring practices; it's an exploration of the human behind the resume. His recent speech on the value of understanding a candidate's core – beyond their list of achievements – resonates deeply with our ethos at Coastline. As we seek a leader who will not only drive our operations but also embody our values, VisionSpark's methodology offers a pathway to discover individuals who truly align with our vision. The essence of Alec's message is that a resume tells you what the candidate thinks you want to hear, but not who they are. It's in the stories, the interactions, and the shared values where true compatibility lies. This human-centric approach to executive hiring is not just about filling a role; it's about inviting someone to join a mission, to be part of a journey that shapes the future of our company and the communities we serve. As we delve into the depths of each candidate's aspirations and motivations, we're not just looking for an Integrator. We're looking for a steward committed to the collective growth of our team and the fulfillment of our long-term goals. The journey is as enlightening as the destination, and I'm eager to welcome an Integrator who is as passionate about the 'why' as they are about the 'how'. Stay tuned as we move closer to welcoming a new leader into our fold, one who truly understands the heartbeat of Coastline Equity. #LeadershipHiring #CulturalFit #VisionSpark
