Here's how you can cultivate a growth mindset for handling failure in your presentation career.

Go through the recording and identify where you have not performed well You can work with a friend or coach as well for getting the feedback and for improvments Practice in front of the mirror or do pratice in front of a camera. Failure is a necessary stepping stone to success

Success is not final and failure is not fatal, and what you perceived to have been failure is not failure, but opportunity for improvement and excellence, a continuously excellent professional is that who is open minded to receiving feedback and seek improvement opportunities, when such feedback for improvement on the quality is provided, appreciate it because it improves the quality of your presentation and makes you progressive. Also, identify people who are better than you are in presentation, allow them to coach you, observe them, volunteer to be around them to support so that you can leverage on such opportunity of being around them to learn about quality presentation.

Cultivating a growth mindset for handling failure in your presentation career is essential for long-term success and personal growth.

To me, failure is a process that is closely linked to learning and advancing by cultivating a growth mindset. I always ask for feedback from my co-workers to know areas that I should improve on. Each week I practice self- reflection, and as a result, I focus on areas that need improvement, and set SMART learning objectives. I spend some time in practicing with my mind specific presentation skills that are challenging for me. Thus, I always stay optimistic and do not see the failures as the end of the line but as the new chance to develop. In conclusion, by exhibiting the deliberate growth mindset, the worst possible outcomes are turned into learning opportunities that strengthen personal and professional skills.

After you reflect on what was missing find a mentor and work on creating a process that will add value to your presentation. Find the Right Mentor: it is important to find a mentor who aligns with your goals and values. Look for someone who has the experience, skills, and knowledge that you aspire to acquire and who has a proven track record of success in client presentations.

Feedback is a gift. Request for the gift because it makes you better and progressive. Both the givers and the receiverd of the gift mus be willing to play their roles.

Without feedback you can never know whether you did good or not, so always seek feedback from audience and here are some key points for a valuable feedback. - always keep your feedback questions short, concise and easy to understand - most of your questions should be multiple choice to be able to quantify the answers later - in some cases audience might pretend to understand which might be deceiving, so don’t be afraid to put questions to measure the understanding of the topic - ask which part did the audience enjoy most in the presentation and which they didn’t enjoy to improve on - and finally, leave an area for open interpretation and opinions

Always take a moment to go through everything that happened in the presentation, and with the help of a well formatted feedback compare what you thought happened with what the audience perceived. This will help you see the full picture to reflect on the entire presentation. Sometimes recording the presentation and checking your performance would allow you to see and improve on your current skills

One of the main challenges you would face in presentations is unexpected questions. Although it’s always recommended to be over prepared and under deliver, but in some cases you would still face questions that you don’t have the answer to, so here’s some points that might help you: - it’s always a professional practice to say I don’t know if it’s possible but take note of the question and always come back with answer to your audience. - learn to bounce questions around, take the question, add your opinion expressing that it’s an opinion and bounce the question around the audience creating a more engaging room - if the time allows it and you know how to get it done quickly without affecting the flow you can find the answer together.
