Here's how you can effectively respond to failure in your career.

Invalidating yourself? It’s the worst. Because the “enemy” is within. I do an incredible job of holding space for others without judgment… that means I have the capacity within myself to do the same for me — I need to add myself as a priority, too. Be kind. We only grow by learning. And we learn by doing. And the result of doing isn’t perfection — it’s practice. It’s the practice of being you. Just like the practice of yoga. The practice of any sport. Showing up. Doing. Yes.

1. Acknowledge: Recognize the failure and its impact. 2. Learn: Analyze what went wrong and why. 3. Adapt: Adjust strategies or approaches based on insights. 4. Persist: Stay determined despite setbacks. 5. Grow: Use failure as a stepping stone for personal and professional development.

- Acknowledge the emotions and thoughts with compassion and empathy: during setbacks, emotions run deep. Self-doubt, judgment, sense of losing touch and control are on the rise. With these feelings and negative thoughts fed by our saboteur voices, a sense of isolation and loneliness can invade us. It is ok not to be ok and grief of not having being able to thrive needs also time and care. - accept and understand the triggers behind these emotions: instead of being in the denial, or bottling up your emotions, take this opportunity to go back to your core and nail your emotions. Awareness and acceptance are Keys elements to open the door to learnings and making wiser choices in the future.

How successful people bounce back from setbacks (3 effective steps): (1) PROCESS YOUR EMOTIONS Allow yourself to feel disappointment or frustration without judgment. (2) CONFRONT YOUR FEELINGS Address your emotions head-on to prevent them from festering. (3) REFLECT AND MOVE FORWARD Take a moment to reflect, but don’t let negative emotions consume you. Face your setbacks and turn them into comebacks.

Responder efetivamente ao fracasso na carreira envolve aceitar e refletir sobre os erros, reavaliar metas e estratégias, e desenvolver resiliência emocional. Buscar feedback construtivo e implementar um plano de ação claro são passos cruciais. Manter uma mentalidade positiva e focada no crescimento transforma o fracasso em uma oportunidade de aprendizado, fortalecendo a carreira e preparando para futuros desafios.

Erleben wir Misserfolge, ist ein erster wichtiger Schritt, in einen wertschätzenden Dialog mit sich selbst zu treten. Denn er ist Voraussetzung dafür, dass wir lernen und Feedback annehmen können. Sind wir in einem wertschätzenden Dialog mit uns selbst, können wir erhaltenes Feedback für uns dazu nutzen, um den Grundstein für künftigen Erfolg zu legen. Tun wir das nicht, werden wir stets versuchen, unser Handeln zu rechtfertigen. Dadurch schieben wir die Verantwortung weg von uns. Wir werden passiv und wir können nicht mehr aktiv handeln. Also auch nicht mehr aus dem Misserfolg lernen.

5 ways I transform setbacks into growth opportunities: 1) I pause. Take a deep breathe. 2) I seek trusted feedback. Not 'any' feedback. 3) I ask people for hard truths. Not easy talk. 4) I listen. I be quiet. I seek exhaustive feedback. 5) I digest, then take action. Your next steps matter. Real stepping stones are built when we're honest with ourselves in light of difficult feedback.

Talk to mentors, colleagues, or friends about your experience. Sharing your feelings and getting feedback can provide new perspectives and emotional relief. Reframe the Situation: Try to see the setback as a learning opportunity. Consider what lessons can be learned and how this experience can contribute to your personal and professional growth. Set New Goals: Use the insights gained from your reflection to set new, realistic goals. Having a clear direction can help you move forward with renewed focus and motivation.

4 steps to turn feedback into actionable growth: STEP 1 Gather feedback and identify weaknesses STEP 2 Isolate and improve each weakness STEP 3 Double down on getting better with your strengths. It's not always about "solving for our weaknesses." STEP 4 Be patient with my progress. Failure happens more than winning, but winning weighs more than failure. You got this.

Set SMART Goals: • Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve. • Measurable: Ensure your goals can be tracked and measured. • Achievable: Set realistic goals that are attainable. • Relevant: Align your goals with your broader objectives. • Time-bound: Set deadlines to create a sense of urgency. 2. Enhance Skill Sets: • Continuously invest in your personal and professional development. • Attend workshops, webinars, and training sessions relevant to your field. • Consider getting certifications or advanced degrees to stay competitive. • Example: If you’re in marketing, you might take a course in digital marketing or data analytics to improve your campaign strategies.

I believe its a perspective thing. Positively framed, failure is an education. The opportunity for progressive change comes about when things don't go according to plan.

Develop a Plan: Create a strategic plan to address the issues that led to the setback. This might involve gaining new skills, seeking additional training, or adjusting your approach to work. Take proactive steps towards your new goals. Action is a powerful antidote to the feelings of helplessness that setbacks can sometimes bring.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." -Winston Churchill Churchill's insight encapsulates the essence of resilience, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit. True success is not just about reaching your goals; it's also about the journey. Embracing failures as opportunities for improvement and learning empowers individuals to rise above their setbacks and emerge stronger. The notion of "courage to continue" is the unwavering belief in oneself and one's abilities, even when doubt and discouragement creep in. Churchill's words serve as a reminder that life's journey is not without its ups and downs. Fail Forward!

Swap language. "Failure" can be understood as an interpretation about me and who I am. Failure can be a toxic interpretation a legacy from a childhood given by criticism and judgmental parents, siblings teachers and coaches. "Did not meet expectations" is about the facts of the matter, intentions declated, anticipated outcomes not fulfilled. Which language potentially may cost us our access to being, our experience of being alive? Which language is empowering?

It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great. -A League of Their Own Keep your goals at the forefront of your mind, challenges come to strength you and challenge your growth. If it were easy everyone would do it!
