A Note from Alex

Facing a layoff isn't something anyone should do alone.

Phase 3 was built to impact society by building and supporting the world's life-science leadership teams. So it matters to us that you — a talented leader — can get back to what you do best: bringing medicines to patients.

Below you'll find our full Leaders in Transition Playbook — worksheets and practical resources to help you activate your network, write a resume for maximum impact, differentiate your leadership in the interview, conduct financial due diligence, and negotiate your package. If you've been laid off, or know someone who has, please share this page.
