My Story: I am an ordinary guy who made an extraordinary promise. In 2001, I was faced with a scary reality when America's economy received a devastating blow from 911 and the dot com collapse. My field, the technology sector, without a doubt took the force of the collapse, losing over 500,000 high-skilled professionals to layoffs in a four month period! Ouch! I promised my wife and my three year old son that I would not lose our only source of income. I must have been crazy to promise such a thing.

At the time, there were no books available on how to avoid layoffs. I could not believe that no one had written on the subject before. Regardless, I had no choice but to meet this challenge head-on and avoid the inevitable tsunami of layoff rounds. I relentlessly pursued the Science of Achievement from every possible angle. I looked for people who had overcome great adversity and won against the odds. I read everything that I could get my hands on! I just kept learning and reading.

Transforming the new found knowledge into action, I kept my promise to my family and managed to do what millions of people could not do; stay employed. Not only did I keep my job and avoid multiple waves of layoff rounds, I charged ahead, attaining new positions with higher pay during the worst technology recession in history.

It has taken me five years to do it, but I've recorded the knowledge and adventure of this experience in my new book,‘LayoffShield: Proven Strategies to Avoid the Cut List and Boost your Salary’!

If you've ever been laid off, and NEVER want to be laid-off again, this book is for you. If you know you are capable of more than what you are doing, this book is for you. If you are not satisfied with your job, this book is for you!

Enthusiastically,

Chris
