What if I told you that there is a 5 step program for getting through redundancy ? I should know I've lived it IRL 4 times!

Last week was a tough week, you may have seen the article in the AFR about the 200 redundancies that the KPMG firm made across Australia.

Last week was a tough week, you may have seen the article in the AFR about the 200 redundancies that the KPMG firm made across Australia. I wanted to write this letter to my 28 year old self for everyone out there who is fearing being made redundant or has just been told their role is no longer required in the wake of Covid-19. I know from personal experience, how shattering redundancy can be and what a huge impact it can have on your mental health, your relationships and your family. I write this letter as someone who has healed from redundancy 3 separate times:
Dear Fiona, It’s 2009, You work in a Digital Advertising agency in NZ and you’re about to receive a letter informing you that your role has been made redundant. You’ll feel as if you’ve just been punched in the stomach, you’ll feel numb and you won’t know what to do. You don’t even want to call your husband as you’ve just bought a house and he’ll only stress out.
This will be the first of 3 redundancies you’ll face over the next 7 years - don’t worry it’ll get easier. Your ability to think differently about redundancy will become one of your biggest advantages in life – opening doors and taking you places where others will never go.
It’ll get easier, not because you get used to being made redundant, but because you learn not to take it personally, to let go of plans or perfection and to reframe it as an opportunity. You’ll realise that being made redundant isn’t a reflection of you, your value or your potential. In fact the sooner you accept redundancy as an opportunity to relax and look inward about what is important, the better.
You’ll realise that you weren’t meant to stay in Advertising and you’ll discover a whole new sense of purpose aligned with your value of 'making a difference' in Consulting. As you get older you will realise just how important it is to do what you love to do and not to compromise.
Believe in yourself, play to your strengths and do what brings you joy because change is the only constant..
There are 5 things I want you to remember
The 3 times I faced redundancy I did so mostly alone, in these Coronavirus times if you've been made redundant you'll have a whole tribe of people to connect with and who knows what amazing new businesses will come out of this time.
