Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie Ihr Selbstvertrauen wieder aufbauen und sich von einem erheblichen Karriererückschlag erholen können.

I have been through this. Honestly, it is a difficult thing to endure. However, I do suggest a few steps to recover based on my experience and the advice I received from friends, family, and mentors. First, give some time to grieve the loss. Second, do what you can. While waiting for opportunities in my career field, I used the other skills I had to make money and keep occupied. Doing this kept the bills paid and gave me purpose. Third, learn new skills...upgrade yourself! I took a job in a related field which gave me exposure to valuable knowledge that is still useful, earned 3 degrees, and earned 2 more professional licenses. Finally, regardless of how you feel, please don't ever quit. You can overcome if you don't quit!

Allow yourself to have all the feelings, without judgement knowing setbacks don't define who you are, but rather strengthen your resolve to be better.

It helps to understand that, It is only but a pothole in your journey, and to never allow it to define who you are. Go through the emotions, speak up, speak out, introspect and find ways to move on. You can rise from this too

Give yourself grace to identify, aknowledge, and - with measure - embrace all the feelings and emotions you might be going through. Something that has worked well for me when facing a professional setback is reviewing the job or mandate description and comparing it against my wish list for an ideal role, writing side by side each of the 'asks' of the role with my corresponding KPIs or results. By approaching the expectation vs. Outcome picture in a systematic and more aseptic manner, it is easier to reach a point where you understand where the room for improvement lies and what the misalignment was, allowing yourself to turn the page and move forward.

Make peace with the fact that this setback has occurred. Do not ruminate on the steps that you think led you to this setback and do not blame yourself for what has happened. Take your time and sit with the mostly negative feelings that will arise - disappointment, anger, sadness to name a few Take some time off to restrategise on what next - look at your environment and what you can change - take up short courses to up skill yourself, learn from your network, invest in things that make you happy outside of work

This is where you seek counsel from your community, I mean people in the same career. One or two persons might have faced a similar challenge and can help you navigate through it.

The fundamental cornerstone of life is our reliance on others. Seeking help isn't just about receiving affirmation but also hearing the unvarnished truth. Embracing diverse perspectives from others is essential and necessary for broadening our own outlooks.

Facing adversity doesn't have to be something you deal with on your own. In the past, and still today, I make it a habit to be as self-reliant as possible. On my chores, projects, ideas...but this is a detriment, particularly with ideas. I've found that it's best to keep a roster of confidants. Bounce ideas off those you trust, and be sure to open that door to return the favor.

El encontrar mentores no siempre necesariamente es un acto pro activo. Yo he encontrado los míos en la búsqueda de crecimiento personal y aprendizajes, los he encontrado en personalidades creadores de contenido tan variados como Marketing, Motivación, Psicología y Disrupción. Más adelante pude verlos en mis padres y en algunos de mis pares del día a día. Y definitivamente llevar una posible carga “con ellos” la vuelve mucho más ligera, aporta perspectiva para verla matizada y permite lidiar con ella de manera mucho menos nociva.

I always tell my students- Chat with mentors or friends who’ve been through similar loops and can offer their wisdom. It’s like having a safety net while you’re figuring out your next move. And don’t forget to pamper yourself a bit. Treating yourself to something nice can recharge your confidence faster than a double espresso!

Take stock of everything that happened and consider what went wrong, what you could have done better, and what was and wasn't under your control. Strive to learn from it and improve your areas of weakness. We grow from our experiences

Setbacks can strengthen your resolve to be better if you learn from it. Rather than self-blame look at it objectively, and find out what went wrong...go back to the drawing board.

It's perfectly normal to make mistakes; they're a crucial part of learning and growing. Pretending we can live without making any mistakes is unrealistic. By learning from our own and others' mistakes, we can improve and strive for excellence. The key lies in knowing how to correct them, accepting the associated risks, and taking responsibility for our actions.

This has happened to me before. While this setback may be difficult to process, I had to look at other factors surrounding the situation. At the time I was not happy with my constituents, nor with the quality of my personal life. It was a blessing in disguise that allowed me the opportunity to realalyze my trajectory, and it's turned out to be a positive change.

Aquí es donde entra en juego la perspectiva. Si nos ensimismamos en el problema, el campo de visión se vuelve muy limitado y eso en muchos aspectos puede nublar nuestro auto juicio. “Salirnos de la víctima” y alejarnos del problema para verlo desde una perspectiva diferente, aporta en este punto de objetividad. Mirarlo sin la emoción o con la emoción controlada, es una actividad estratégica que permite lidiar con el revés de mejor manera, dividirlo en componentes más manejables e ir poco a poco solventándolo sin que nos abrume.

Setting realistic goals gives us a second chance to prove ourselves to ourselves. Ensure you set realistic goals that won’t drain you, and when you hit each milestone Ensure you celebrate yourself to boost your morale. Confidence is all about you, how you feel, how you see yourself, how your perceive yourself. And setting goals is one of the best ways to boost your confidence and give you reasons to believe in yourself once more.

I can provide some hard lessons in this category. It's very important not to over-extend yourself and understand your limits. I've been in this position, considering taking new avenues to reach my goals, but often times picking the steepest hill to climb. I believe a lot in my abilities, but I often overestimate my capacities and take on too many projects, which has hurt me in the past. Setting realistic goals will keep you motivated and moving forward.

If the goals you set before are not realistic or beyond your reach, narrow them down. In other words, make it more realistic, it's not bad to start small.

People crave achievement; they seek those winning moments to validate their worth. As leaders, it's our responsibility to set periodic targets and empower our team to excel. Setting targets is akin to planning a journey; celebrating milestones along the way is crucial to fostering team spirit and motivation.

Confidence is definitely a balloon because, often, life gives it a bit of a pop. But this is the time when you start by setting small, manageable goals, like blowing up that balloon just a little at a time. Maybe it’s updating your resume or reaching out to one new contact each week. Remember, even the greatest of us had to start small and build up. So, dust off that balloon, inflate it bit by bit, and watch your confidence float back up! If this resonates, do follow the podcast, 'Communicate101: speaking writing tips'. Is quite meaningful!

“Failure is success if we learn from it.”- Malcolm S.Forbes. When you shift your thinking from what happened to me, to what can I learn from this experience, you feel empowered to act. Yes, we need time to absorb the forced change, but after a short pity party, you can see that your new situation is providing you with new opportunities, so welcome them.

You are but a collection of experiences and your failures. Marcel Proust said that he learnt more from his failures than his success. Spend some time on root cause analysis, get to the bottom of what went wrong and you will find that you may want to recaliberate. There is value in learning and you will be stronger for it.

As human beings, we are constantly evolving and adapting through continuous updates. A fundamental aspect of our existence is a strong commitment to learning and perpetual growth.

Embrace learning as your personal recovery gym. Imagine you're lifting weights with new skills and experiences—each rep makes you stronger. I remember a time I flopped a big presentation. I felt like a deflated balloon! But I dove into feedback, practiced relentlessly, and turned that flop into a win. Rebuilding confidence is like adding extra layers of armor. The more you learn, the tougher you get.
