I have been employed within the company climbing up the ranks over the years  from a store assistant role to a skilled role. Initially, I was in a L&D role, functioning effectively. However, the company underwent a restructuring process, changing my role to that of graphic designer (different competencies). During this period, I encountered various issues with my former manager. Regrettably, he submitted a highly negative performance review about me without my knowledge and reported false incidents. These actions seem to have stemmed from my refusal to comply with specific directives that I believed were ethically or professionally questionable.Â
Subsequently, I initiated conversations with senior leadership to address these concerns but without resolution. I am feeling demotivated.
Simultaneously, I have been contemplating the pursuit of my business ventures. I have a passion for photography and videography, public speaking, and I am actively pursuing a course in social media management. Â Through reflection and spiritual guidance, I have received a significant sign, a dream in which I was shown the message, "Go to the people" (the details of the dream are extensive and not relevant to this context). I also possess a strong aptitude for public speaking, which requires further refinement.
However, I am apprehensive about losing my current job, particularly given that I am the primary financial provider for my children and other dependents. Although my former manager was eventually laid off, he filed adverse reports against me leaving me with a Performance Improvement plan.
In this context, I am seeking guidance on how to proceed as I decide whether to stay in my job or press in on my dream and become a freelancer. Thank you.

I was laid off after a long tenure, unexpectedly. I waited on God and trusted Him to open new doors in the same field I was in previously, with minor variations in the roles. After 8 months, I got an offer and was elated and singing praises for His wonders. 9 months into my new role, I was informed that the company had to make cuts and had to let me go. How do I recover from this broken-heart and disappointment? How do I even know if the next job is God's will for me? I am confused.

We have a question from one of members - How can we attract sponsorship and mentorship in our workplace/for our careers?

I have been told that I lose my pitch before I even start if the people in the room do not see confidence radiating from me. How do I equip myself with confidence at an interview/meeting/presentation when I am anxious and knotted up with a range of emotions such as self-doubt, nervousness and tension?
