Veja como você pode promover a resiliência diante das adversidades, profissionais.

In my experience, I have failed hundred times, till i finally got success. In other words, failure is a stepping stone to success. Never give up, keep learning from failures, keep pivoting, keep making efforts even if you make mistakes, failures are bound to happen. If you have failed enough, then nothing else is left- but success. In fact, success is nothing else but failing enough patiently, not letting go, and waiting for the right moment. Fortune 500 companies and leadership has to accept failures- and not create an environment of fear of 'firing' people if they failed.

Replace the word “failure” with “lesson.” Every attempt will bring you closer to your goal. Regardless of the outcome, the journey will never be a straight line, so ensure to have fun and joy along the way.

Durante muchos años, resistí cometer errores y enfoqué mis esfuerzos en “no equivocarme”. Esta actitud resultó muy estresante, ya que mi necesidad de control y perfección me llevaba a cometer errores en las formas, los tiempos de entrega, y la revisión excesiva de detalles. Sin embargo, con cada reto, empecé a adoptar una mentalidad de crecimiento. A partir de ese momento, el error se convirtió en parte de mi día a día. Llegué al punto de estar dispuesta a equivocarme rápidamente para integrar el aprendizaje en las siguientes versiones y ver la mejora continua de manera natural. Aceptar los errores es el primer paso para resolverlos.

Don't associate failure with inability. Let it not dampen your spirit and hinder your growth People who have an ardent desire to succeed have no fear of failure. Foster a culture of continuous learning and progress. Teach your mentees to take setbacks as an integral part of the process. This approach is the foundation of resilience. Learn from failure and proceed further with determination to achieve goals.

There are many forms of support groups that we can consider joining. While the CEO of an organization may have the loneliest job, a private advisory group, i.e. a group of peer CEOs from non-competing industries, can provide a safe environment to discuss and process issues, which would be helpful.

Seeking support is a strategy, not weakness. Building a support system is crucial to handle stressful situations with unwavering confidence. Reach out to colleagues, seniors and industry experts for advice, guidance and constructive feedback. Their valuable insights can help you navigate challenges and bounce back. You can adapt swiftly and maintain productivity.

Asking for Help is an understated superpower we all need to learn to pick up. We have to recognize that not everyone is able or willing to help us, all the time, but they may be willing to help us some of the time. The only way you would know, is if you ask first. And keep asking different people for help and support. Don't rely on just one or two people for the help you need.

Setting goal is like identifying the north star. It can guide us back on track if we are lost. SMART goals are helpful and stretching the goal a little bit further can improve satisfaction when it is achieved.

One mantra that always helps is 'Look for the light'- as there is always a way to deal with an adverse situation and staying hopeful, without feeling helpless, is the key. I always ask myself- What can I do about this? Be aware of it. Accept. If there is something to Act upon, do it!

Adversity leads to stress, and resilience helps overcome stress. Develop work culture, where achieving work- life balance is a priority. Organise various sessions or workshops to develop EQ and manage stress. Enhanced emotional intelligence can create self awareness and help them manage their emotions and reactions. Encourage your mentees to incorporate mindfulness techniques in their routine to navigate challenging situations.

Adaptability includes recognizing how things are changing now, as well as anticipating and preparing for potential industry shifts in the future. Understanding your strengths and skills, and understanding which are transferable to other roles (or industries) can help you stay ahead of the curve and leverage your unique talents to face adversity by adapting to the needs of the situation.

Murphy's Law suggests that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Hence, it's always a good idea to loosely have a Plan B or Plan C! Imagine the airplane that flies without a redundancy system in place to take over when System 1 fails. Would you take that plane? Therefore, similarly in life, especially for bigger plans - we need to plan ahead and have an emergency and alternative plan in place so we can adapt and overcome the challenges.

Having a "growth mindset" is essential to build resilience and face adversity. A resilient person, who is successful at dealing with adversity, finds a learning opportunity in each situation no matter how challenging it is. In my opinion, a pre-requisite to a "growth mindset" is having a positive outlook. This helps individuals break the victim mindset and replace it with the growth mindset where every experience becomes a chance for growth and development.
