How can you maintain a positive attitude when faced with career setbacks?

For most of the people, having career setbacks are terrible, but actually it's a blessing. You have the opportunity to look back at your pedigree and make readjustment. It's true that passing through can be tough emotionally, but here is how to overcome : - Accept that it's normal, like in any other aspect of your life, you have seasons. - Mourn the old YOU, otherwise you won't be able to move forward. - Readjust your career plan and include a rebound plan (don't be ashamed to restart from a lower point). - Don't forget time is your best ally, and now you are starting with a cheat code (Experience); - Never forget again to continuously assess your career

Durante minha formação em Coaching, que foram mais de 2.000 horas de estudos e práticas, construí o seguinte mantra: acredite em você, acredite no seu trabalho e acredite no processo. Eu busco construir um processo de trabalho no qual eu acredito e me mantenho firme nele, sempre corrigindo, melhorando e otimizando onde necessário.

When faced with a career setback, I believe it's important to: 1. Acknowledge that everyone has some sort of career setback and you're not alone. It's okay! 2. Write your emotions in a journal, but do not verbalize your negative emotions at this point because the negativity may be all consuming. 3. Self reflection of what went wrong and what could you have done if you could do it over again. Sometimes it cannot be fixed, and that's okay. 4. Begin to surround yourself with positive, yet honest, influences who will help support you during this emotional time. 5. Take time to emotionally recharge and reflect so you can begin to make changes for your next career move. Finally... Keep moving forward. You got this!

Career setbacks are unavoidable, but maintaining a positive attitude is essential for handling them. Begin by recognizing your feelings and allowing them healthy expression. Remember that setbacks are not failures, but rather learning experiences. Reframe your thinking by viewing them as opportunities to grow, learn new abilities, and discover new paths. Dont hesitate to seek the assistance of mentors, friends, or experts to acquire useful insights and guidance. Set attainable but realistic goals to recover momentum and focus on your development. Celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how tiny, to keep yourself motivated and confident. Remember that setbacks are just temporary, and your perseverance will eventually lead to success.

Begin by inhaling deeply. Recognize that this setback in your career is fleeting, and you possess the resilience to overcome it. Much like life, careers have their peaks and valleys, and the journey is not always a straightforward climb. Take a moment to gain perspective by viewing your career from a 30,000-foot elevation. Consider that this setback might serve as the impetus for soaring to new heights in your professional journey. A valuable strategy that has proven effective for both myself and those I mentor and coach is conducting a personal SWOT analysis. This approach will broaden your perspective, revealing untapped opportunities.

Dark days challenge even the strongest, so focus on growth, not goals; lessons, not losses. Reach out for perspective to prevent isolation. A supportive system lifts you to see the bigger picture and future opportunities that may await when you're ready to fly again.

I try to always remember that no man can close a door God has opened for me nor can any man, including myself, open one that God has not. While I may be sad or disappointed, I try to remember what God has promised to me is mine and I will not have to question that.

Reinvente-se Manter uma atitude positiva diante dos contratempos na carreira envolve cultivar a resiliência. Foque no aprendizado em vez de ver os desafios como falhas, defina metas realistas, e busque apoio de colegas. A prática da gratidão e o desenvolvimento de habilidades de resolução de problemas também podem fortalecer sua mentalidade positiva.

Reframing the situation during a career setback is a powerful way to self reflect on the situation and treat it as a learning opportunity instead of failure. Remember, failure only happens when you decide to quit. We sometimes forget that, and get wrapped up on the setback instead of the lesson. Focus on what you could do better, write a plan in your journal of how you'll improve, and put that plan into motion. You got this!

Probably not the best answer, but my philosophy can be summed up by a Winston Churchill quote. When a woman accused him of being drunk one evening, Churchill responded with... "I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly." This type of thinking takes ownership for yourself and your situation. It's accepts that most things are temporary, even rejection and setbacks. Maybe you don't have the skills or connections yet, so what, you will. Growth comes when you try something new, it doesn't work, so you try something different. Keep an open mind and you will figure it out. All great people are forged the same way, lots of pressure and lots of setbacks. It's a requirement not an option.

Turning to trusted mentors and support systems during challenging times can provide needed perspective and validation to renew optimism.

This is so true, seeking support while facing that challenge should be standard but what happens when the country is facing high unemployment like ours. It becomes difficult to your network as well to help you connect with corporate world, perhaps I must clarify that when seeking help one should not only focus on your network. Your immediate family should lead the pack, so when you go out there you know that your family is helping and guiding whether through prayers or otherwise

J'en connais cette situation car je l'ai vécue et je suis toujours en partie dedans mais cela m'a ouvert les yeux et l'esprit pour maintenir cette attitude positive : - Osez vous confier et en parler avec des personnes que vous estimez être à la hauteur pour vous aider à sortir du carcan ou de l'hostilité émotionnelle ; - Identifiez des personnes à travers votre entourage qui sont aptes et douées de sens d'écoute et d'expériences pour discuter des faits similaires que vous avez vécu et ainsi vous pourrez avoir des conseils qui vont vous aider ; - Associez vous aux personnes résilientes, positives et toujours optimistes car tu en as besoin et on en a toujours besoin dans notre société.

Goal setting can be daunting when facing career challenges. I have found that support can be found by engaging with trusted allies. Additionally, using structured goal setting resources and / or enrolling in professional goal setting programs can be helpful to gain new perspectives regarding your career. It will be critical to establish realistic timelines and a peer group can be helpful in this regard. Following the goal setting process, track your progress against goals, prioritize activities, identify where you have obstacles, take action to overcome them and remember to celebrate your successes.

Setting new goals should be often so that when gloomy days come, it becomes lighter to carry the weight and face the world. If it happens that you don't do that then start looking around and seek help and guidance while equipping yourself.

Depending on one's specific problems, there are different ways to address this. It is easy to say "stay positive" or "view this as an opportunity" when you are not the one facing the obstacles. If your direct supervisor is not available, reach out to HR or your organization's career counseling. They will be able to give you pointers of what next steps to take.

Les objectifs sont l'essence du développement et de dépassement quand nous sommes en période de transition ou que mon veuille évoluer dans sa carrière quelque soit notre domaine d'intervention il est important de se fixer des objectifs SMART et définir un plan d'action adéquat pour chaque objectif fixé et ainsi avec la motivation, la concentration et la persévérance nous aurons plus de chance de voir nos objectifs réalisés.

Célébrer nos réalisations démontre que nous venons de franchir une étape et psychologiquement ça nous met en confiance et renforce notre estime de soi. C'est pourquoi avec mon équipe commerciale à chaque fois que nous réalisons un contrat nous le célébrons, on se felicite et ça donne des ailes. Célébrer ses réalisations donne un sentiment de d'appartenance pour une équipe et également un sentiment d'accomplissement. Je tiens à recommander une action en équipe à chaque fois qu'un collaborateur sort du lot en accomplissant un objectif faites lui un ENTRETIEN DE FLAGRANT DE BIEN FAIRE LES CHOSES ça renforce l'estime et la confiance.

Celebrate your achievements and strengths by surrounding yourself with the very people who helped get you where you are today. They want to see you win just as much as you want to see yourself win, so celebrate your achievements together. They will see how much you've grown and begin to work with you on achieving the level level of success. This is when it gets fun!

Keeping an open and optimistic mindset helps shift focus from what didn't work to new ideas and possibilities. Stay positively minded!

Real growth happens outside our comfort zones. Continuous learning is not a skill, it is a necessity. The future does not rely on the past and people shouldn’t either. Resting on laurels is not an option. Growth and change can be uncomfortable and unpredictable. Our reaction is one of the only things entirely under our control. Choose to adapt and reap the rewards. Choose to comply and you might get by!

This is the best approach you can take, by asking what did you learn from this experience and what you can do differently. With the mindset every situation is an opportunity for growth. It is not rejection but redirection. The right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing. Trust the process

When we are faced with any personal or professional setbacks, we must consider who we surround ourselves with on a daily basis. There are many books & blos written about a topic my best friend mentions quite often: Show me your closest 5 friends, and I'll show you your future. This is especially true when we have personal &/or professional setbacks. Evaluate who is emotionally supporting you and who isn't. This is a great time to replace those negative influences with positive relationships. You got this!

Career setbacks can come in different presentations: not getting the job you want, getting laid off, being passed over for a promotion, missing out on a big project, or getting disciplined for poor performance. Every career setback history has two sides: - yours - and the company's side If you're in a company that thrives because of its transparency, solid culture, clear leveling guidelines, and career paths, then pay attention to their feedback and improve. If you're in a company that lacks the above: keep doing a great job, keep your work ethic, smile, but run as soon as possible! Start looking for your next role in a place that values you!

Career expectations start the day one takes on employment or at least immediately one receives a formal notification. The path however must be well understood appreciating what would contribute to growth and one’s obligation to his employer. Indolence, dishonesty, negative thinking and attitudes don’t contribute to career growth. Preparedness to contribute to employer’s success shows a positive growth trajectory. In modern day 4IR revolution which affects jobs and influences future of work this should arouse for someone without ICT skills to up-skill. In order to cope with challenges and threats of loss of job, yearning for new knowledge should be on employees’ front burner. Flexibility to adjust to new developments are traits to imbibe.

In my experience, I found that having Emotional Intelligence as a skill does help with handling stressful situations like job changes. Use the skill to also have conversations with people.
