The title should be “How to Handle Unemployment or Loss of One’s Business”. But first, let’s get the bad news out of the way.
Throughout America, an estimated 12 million people are unemployed. A statistic, however, is just a number with major limitations. It doesn’t show the whole picture. When HP or Supervalu announces that they will downsize a given number of employees, I see the faces of my friends who work there and I wonder if they will retain their jobs and, if not, how their lives will be affected.
Those 12 million people have lost more than a paycheck. Their identity, self-worth and sense of belonging are devastatingly affected. If the unemployed person has a family, they are also financially and emotionally devastated.
There are five must know things to minimize the negative impact of being unemployed:
1. Keep things in perspective. No question the loss of employment is bad. But worse things do happen. I recall two close friends who were going through tough times. One had lost his business and was struggling to pay for his child’s college tuition. That became less painful as he listened to his friend who had lost his mother, had to drive his son to prison and shortly after lost his marriage.
2. Reassess and reflect on your talents, gifts, skills and knowledge that can be vital in your next job. Re-evaluate personal priorities and those of your family. Set new goals and expectations.
3. Stay actively involved. Being unemployed should never mean doing nothing. The absence of coworkers and lunches with people on your team can breed isolation. Join networks that understand your situation and where you are encouraged. Volunteering in causes that are important to you provides opportunity to connect with other people as well as helping you maintain your sense of accomplishment.
4. Handle family with care. Because of the vulnerability that comes when we feel unstable, an unemployed person can become increasingly sensitive to the way his or her family says or does some things — thus creating tension that, if not addressed, could lead to divorce. Children, in particular, suffer when all they hear is, “You will get that when dad or mom gets a job.” Children cannot put their lives on hold. So handle them carefully.
5. Your faith matters. Faith has been repeatedly mentioned as the main factor helping thousands of individuals maintain hope and stay focused when seeking opportunities that promise a better future. In times you are at a loss, nothing can substitute for hope, regardless of how remote that hope is.
There are also several ways to help our unemployed friends. The first step is to be non-judgmental. Provide encouragement and remind him or her that unemployment is a reflection of bad economic times, not poor performance. Offer to make recommendations should any job opportunity come along.
If you know your friend’s strengths and other positive aspects, highlight them while allowing him or her to express their feelings. The key is to use the opportunity to lift them up, but not allow them to succumb to self-pity. It helps to discuss other issues beside the bad economy and unemployment.
Most people will not ask for material assistance even when they dearly need it. Consider getting a gift certificate from a grocery store and mail it anonymously to your friend or, if you garden, share your produce (they will talk about how God sent an angel). Be a friend in deed.

“Dr. Vincent Kituku: What an amazing experience! Your training on “How to Speak and Get Paid!” was one of the most value-packed trainings I’ve ever attended. I arrived expecting to learn how to get paid as a speaker and left with a better understanding of my speaking abilities, useful ways to make my speeches stand out, and how to market myself as a speaker.”
“Vincent-Thank you for mentoring us through our next level of development. Your level and depth of expertise combined with your creativity are plus gifts- this training has enriched my strategic planning and personal goals. Lucky, lucky are we in your first class!”
“Dear Vincent ~ Your creativity is amazing! By giving us example after example of your own journey from obscurity to local celebrity you have pushed the limits of my own thinking about is possible for me. I can now see paid speaking opportunities in places I would never have thought about before. The binder you put together will become a well-used resource for me. Thank you for creating it as a value-added part of this seminar…! Your careful selection of the group was fabulous - each person added to my enjoyment of this training."
“Dr. Kituku: You have been a blessing to me personally and to my business. You have helped me gain the confidence I needed to pursue a speaking career and to build my law practice. I now know how to focus my energies… Thank you.”
“Vincent-This seminar has been filled with more powerful and useful information then I have ever experienced in a workshop…I now have practical tools and valuable resources to draw upon to move to the next level with Public Speaking. These tools are not available to the general population... Your approach to teaching and sharing is unique in itself also. Your stories and the wealth of information you shared was most compelling! I was captivated from the moment the class began. I walked away from this class feeling confident that I can do public speaking with competence armed with very practical and useful tools. I know without any doubt that you saved me years of struggling by your choice to share what you have learned and know about Public Speaking.”
2. Multi-task. But don’t confuse engagement in multiple activities with productive involvement in results-generating tasks. Be experienced in more than one area. When asked, are you able to do something beyond what’s in your department? You increase your chances of survival by being deep and broad in your experiences.
