Providing positive reinforcement is the principle here, and it should go before anything, so it's important to make sure that it's done to a tee. Since you already know what the issue is, it shouldn't be particularly hard for a woman to say the right things. Remember that they are all basically along the lines of, "I believe in you." Every situation is easier when there's someone in your corner, especially if it's something career based, like if they were overlooked at promotion time. Of course, this isn't really the only thing that you can do for your man, as you may want to take his mind off of what's ailing him.
You need to give him a present. Not just any present is going to do here, you're going to want something that's especially amazing, a gift that will totally occupy his time, at least for a minute. The gift depends on the man that you're buying it for, so you'll have to be creative. It doesn't have to be expensive, just something that will help him think about something else. For instance, if he's into video games, buy him something that you'd think he'd like. Of course, this may take away from the time he's playing with you, but he needs this time for himself to get over it. Even though you help him a lot in his efforts, this is a problem that he'll eventually have to work through to get back to where he wants to be. If you provide the positive reinforcement and have something for him to do, you'll start seeing that lovable smile faster than you may think.
