A vida é feita de escolhas, e em todas elas teremos os prós e contras. Por isso, é muito importante ter cautela e entender quais são os principais riscos, e o quanto você está disposto a lidar com eles. No nosso contexto social, há uma tendência para que pessoas com determinados privilégios se sintam mais seguras a experimentar grandes mudanças, por possuírem um contexto de vida mais propenso a driblar os riscos negativos. Porém isso não deve ser considerado um impeditivo para pessoas de grupos minorizados, mas sim um ponto de atenção a ser considerado estrategicamente.

Set realistic and achievable goals: Help the client break down their aspirations into smaller, manageable targets, setting a clear roadmap for success. Embrace the learning process: Remind them that failure is often the stepping stone to success. Each experience, whether successful or not, is a lesson that helps the client grow and learn. Develop a growth mindset: Encourage the client to focus on their skills, abilities, and character, rather than their achievements or lack thereof, allowing them to view setbacks as opportunities for progress. Reframe failure: Assist the client in redefining failure as an opportunity for reflection, self-improvement, and resilient growth.

Como dito em Alice no País das Maravilhas: "Se você não sabe onde quer chegar, qualquer caminho serve". Ter uma visão de futuro é essencial para criar processos de decisões mais assertivos ao longo de sua carreira. Esses objetivos também devem ser lembrados constantemente - principalmente em momentos de desmotivação - com o intuito de manter a motivação em alta.

If you are changing you have to accept risks. Having in mind that you are going to run in a road without obstacles and failures is not really realistic. Failure is a part of process of changing.

Fearlessness is not the goal. Fear isn't the absence of courage; it's often a mask for our deepest desires. The most fulfilled people I work with don't get rid of their fear; they use it as fuel. Fears provide valuable insight. Consider having a conversation with your fear: What is your role? What do you hope to accomplish by playing this role? What are you afraid would happen if you didn't perform this role?

Encourage them to view failure as a learning opportunity rather than a setback. Break down the transition into manageable steps and celebrate small victories along the way. Provide a realistic action plan with clear goals and timelines. Share success stories of others who have made similar changes. Last but not least, ensure they have a strong support system – whether through networking groups, mentors, or coaches – to navigate this new path confidently.
