I saw what Oracle did today.
An email at 6am. Your name not even in it. Access cut before you finished reading. Fourteen years, eleven years, four years — reduced to a DocuSign link and a phone number for HR.
I am not going to tell you it will be okay. You already know it will be. What I want to talk about is the next six months. Because in my experience, the people who rebuild fastest are not the ones with the best resumes or the biggest networks. They are the ones who are most deliberate about how they spend their time.
Right now your calendar is empty. That is not a loss. That is the first time in years that your time is entirely yours. Trust me, I know the value of this freedom. But only if you're intentional about how you use it.
I built Volari because I watched 14 years of executives at IBM get briefed every morning — their calendar read, their priorities flagged, their day structured — while everyone else walked in blind with a color-coded grid and self-motivation. That gap in execution support is what separates the people who compound from the people who plateau.
You deserve that infrastructure. Especially right now.
So here is what I am doing. Free Partner access to Volari. Six months. No credit card. No verification. Connect your calendar and let Volari help you structure the most important six months of your career.
I'm willing to forego the revenue and bear the costs. Because it is the right thing to do. And I want to help you.
The three things that will get you back faster than anything else:
Decide first, apply second. Before you send a single application, get clear on exactly what you want next. One week of clarity saves three months of wrong turns.
Three conversations a day, not three hundred applications. 80% of roles are filled through relationships before they are ever posted. Reach out to three specific people every morning — not mass messages, three real and personal notes to people in the space you want to be in.
Protect your mornings like your career depends on it. The first 90 minutes of every day belong to your future, not your inbox. That is where your best thinking happens. Guard it.
If you want to hold yourself accountable publicly, post your Day 1 on LinkedIn with #90DayRebuild. I will follow every one of those posts personally and comment on as many as I can. You are not alone in this. I'm with you. Let's rebuild.
