Losing your job can take a toll on your emotional and physical wellbeing. There is a grieving process that most people go through after a layoff. It is completely normal to experience anger and denial and giddiness--and every other emotion. You will definitely have good days and bad days.
However, this is also a great opportunity to step back and evaluate what you have done in the past, and what you would like to do in the future. It is a time to take inventory of what worked, and what didn't work for you. It is a time to reconnect with your purpose and values. It is a time to consider what the right next step is.
This talk will explore:
Constructive grieving and way to heal
Techniques to uncover the information you need to determine your right next step
How to keep yourself out of the emotional dips that come with unemployment
How to stay focused and on track with your job search or launching a business.
