“Not in his goals but in his transitions, man is great,” penned the famed American poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Transitions come in all shapes and sizes, and one of the best things a person in transition can do is view it as moving from one great adventure to another — or seeking a new direction in life. In "Laid Off? Don’t Stress! How to Get from Mad to Glad" (Windmill, ISBN 0977386503, 144 pages, $16.95), you will read about the joyous, energizing experiences of 21 people who have come through tough and dramatic transitions as the result of being laid off unexpectedly. Each writer has a distinct voice and a unique message, but all have found new lives and "restored hope" at the end of the day. Everyone who has experienced the harsh realities of corporate life will connect with these compelling, emotional, and uplifting stories.
According to veteran leadership trainer Steve Meisenheimer, “Many authors employ the power of words; Kitty Wiemelt reaches beyond the words to the awesome power of hope. And hope is never needed more than when we suddenly don’t feel needed.”
This project began out of the sense of community Wiemelt personally shared with fellow career-changers. As a result of talking with dozens of people who had suffered an unexpected employment change, Wiemelt decided to collect the most compelling stories she heard. In "Laid Off? Don’t Stress! How to Get from Mad to Glad," you will see how:
Individuals who were victimized by the dot-com crash of 2000 survived and prospered in the aftermath. A non-profit organization’s chief fundraiser found his true calling at age 51 One woman discovered that happiness was a choice, not a fate bestowed on the lucky few People learn how to heal not just their finances but their self-esteem in the wake of multiple corporate layoffs
Scattered throughout the book are checklists called “Mad to Glad Guidelines for You.” These special guidelines are concise pieces of advice to help and inspire the reader to move toward position actions in the wake of being laid off.
