Here's how you can bounce back from career failure.

I think there is no such thing as failure if you learn from it and congratulate yourself for taking the chance. It is not what happened to us, but how we reframe it.

Reflect on your journey.. Look through it thoroughly.. Understand how magnificent and beautiful lessons you have unfold for yourself. Every step you took , gave u a new perspective towards your goal and its achievement. And in the process you will realise that failure is not what u have attain, But it is Experience which will help u bounce back on track and eventually achieve bigger and powerful goals.

I don't like to use the word 'failure' and if we have it as a mindset, it will be limiting. How about we use the word 'setback' and build from that. If we use the word 'setback', we get back up, dust ourselves off and learn from the experience, that will allow us to build. If something is very important to you and you want to accomplish it: - Be persistent - The journey is just that, a journey and you will get there but know it will take time and avoid limitations as that is going to stop your progress. - Add your resources - Who do you need to pull in and what do you need to learn to make yourself stronger. - The environment - Know that factors are at play and it may not even be you! The situation might dictate why something did not work.

Learning and improving ourselves includes encountering shortfalls, and gathering insights from those experiences. The term "failure" is given too much power as it's equated with doing something wrong or losing. Review the situation. Be objective. If you can't do it looking at yourself, analyze the circumstances as if it was for a close acquaintance. This also helps limit the blame-game. Name the targeted goal and the actual outcome. Identify what steps were controllable and what items influenced the outcome that were beyond control. This identifies what can/can't be changed in the future. Identify how you will approach future situations having recognized what is within your control. This will help you gain a sense empowerment.

What I've learnt over many years is that what seems like career failure at the time, usually becomes a trigger or platform for success in the future. In 1990, I was fired from my first job as a trainee accountant after just 4 months. The tax partner said on the day he fired me "you will never qualify as an accountant". Those words stuck with me, and were instrumental in my qualifying just a few years later. From a practical perspective - process the disappointment, give yourself some time and space, then take an objective look at what happened and why. Speak to others, seek advice and choose what you want to do next. Set a plan, take the first step and go from there.

Resetting goals should be a constant habit for success. I tend to recommend setting three month goals and breaking down the goals monthly. Every month reflect and adjust your strategy based on the month and your data. This constant revisiting will help you not only stay focus but avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Having clarity/goals keep you focused and motivated. I am talking about the goals you truly want to achieve!

🤩Look into skills that excite you! After a setback in your career lifting up your spirits is priority. Look into a skill you have always wanted to learn and take advantage of it. Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook offer courses and certifications for Free so don't miss out on these opportunities as well.

In my experience, having a balance between knowledge and wisdom ensures you make well-informed decisions that are also guided by insight and intuition. This combination helps you navigate challenges more effectively and achieve lasting success.

A life coach can help a client acquire new skills after a failed career by first assessing the client's strengths, interests, and gaps in knowledge. Together, they identify relevant skills needed for the desired career path. The coach then helps the client set clear, achievable learning goals and create a plan to acquire these skills, which might include taking courses, attending workshops, or seeking mentorship opportunities. They provide resources and encourage continuous learning. The coach also supports the client in building a network of industry contacts who can offer guidance and opportunities for skill development, ensuring the client remains motivated and on track.

Bouncing back from career failure starts with developing skills to enhance your resilience and future success. First, identify the skills that could have mitigated the failure, such as communication, leadership, or technical expertise. Invest time in online courses, workshops, or mentorship programs to strengthen these areas. Next, seek feedback from colleagues or mentors to gain insights into your performance and areas for improvement. Embrace a growth mindset by viewing failure as a learning opportunity rather than a setback. Set specific, achievable goals for skill development and track your progress. Finally, network with professionals in your field to learn from their experiences and expand your knowledge.

The real outcome of what we called failure is learning. Your brain is design to record errors and failures to learn the right path… neurologically there isn’t any other way. So, when you keep on living life trying to avoid errors, mistakes, failures… you’re just denying yourself the natural right to grow. When you understand how the human experience and your mind in its conscious and unconscious settings work… the fear of making mistakes and failing stops.

The people we surround ourselves with make or break where we go in life, both professionally and personally. Quality networking cannot be emphasized enough. Remember, you pass the same people on the way up and you do on the way down, avoid burning bridges at all costs. Networking is crucial for career advancement: Reach Out: Connect with colleagues, mentors, and industry peers. Be Transparent: Share your aspirations and challenges honestly. Seek Assistance: Ask for advice, referrals, or job opportunities. Stay Active: Regularly engage with your network to remain visible. Remember, your network is your net worth—investing in relationships can lead to valuable opportunities and support in challenging times.

I don't like the word 'networking' as it can seem transactional. I would rather use the word relationship building. If you go into a conversation with the thoughts and ideas of building a foundational relationship, it is amazing where the journey will result. The art of conversation is critical and start with simple questions and as someone is responding, listen and observe. For example, if you are at a conference on educational leadership and you meet someone, ask them: "Great to meet you here. Is this the first conference you have attended?" Based on their response, then ladder in a follow up question. As the dialogue goes back and forth, you have gained their trust and they have gotten to know you better.

Networking is a powerful, and often under used, career tool. Like the old saying goes, 'It's not what you know, it's who you know.' And to a large degree, this is true. A big part of career success and opportunity comes from building a rich and diverse professional community network. You can do this by both being a network ally for others, and using everyday interactions as a way to connect with new and potentially resourceful network allies for yourself. It may not pay off immediately. However, the investment is likely to bring a return throughout the span of your career.

Read, listen to podcasts and consume all the information you can about your chosen field. Go to networking events and conferences in your space. Seek out mentors and sponsors to help you succeed. Go out for lunch, dinner or a cup of coffee with different people from the office. Connect on LinkedIn with employees at other companies that do similar work as you. Find people who are more successful than you to learn from and gain ideas and access to opportunities.

Le réseautage permet de travailler aussi sur soi-même et de clarifier son objectif de carrière, de l'expliquer de manière toujours plus claire pour les autres, ce qui permettra de recevoir des références et de nouvelle opportunités

We all have a choice of whether to think of the glass half empty or half full. It is a drain of calories to think negatively and does nothing to better your situation. Instead, choose to exercise your power to think positive - it will build upon itself to improve your mindset, move forward, and brighten your interactions with others.

Of course you are going to feel rejected, disappointed and sad but remember every cloud has silver lining accept what has happened and flip the thought of failure into the time wasn't right and I wasn't prepared next time will be different

There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback! One of my fave NLP presuppositions! We take the learning and grow. We might need to adapt, make some changes, but we do it with compassion towards ourselves and others 🫶

It depends what anyone means by failure. Not achieving one specific thing is not failure, but another step. The question is, are we pointing ourselves in the right direction?

I know people want to lean away from ‘toxic positivity’ but what you focus on expands. Start your day telling yourself you’ll have a good one, and guess what? You have just increased your chance to do exactly that!

Paradoxalement, avant d'agir il est précieux de laisser-agir, c'est-à-dire laisser être pour écouter la juste inspiration. En effet, comme la respiration, il est bon sa voir quans agir et quand laisser agir (wu-wei).

One of my clients, Alex, faced a major career setback and felt lost. After reflecting on what went wrong, Alex was ready to take decisive action towards new goals. Together, we created a detailed action plan, breaking down his objectives into manageable steps. Alex started by applying for jobs daily, while also working on a side project to build his skills. Each day, he took consistent action, even celebrating small victories like positive feedback on his applications and progress on his project. Patience and perseverance were crucial. Over time, Alex saw significant achievements, landing a job that aligned with his passions and advancing his side project.

Taking action when stepping into the unknown can be the hardest part. Most people wait to feel confident enough to take the actions they need. But confidence is not something you get on its own but something you build through having commitment, practicing courage (not sure if or how it's going to work out but doing it anyway), and creating capability. Courage is the most important step of the journey, giving you the opportunity to learn and get stronger with each failure. It's by failing, rinsing, and repeating that you actually move closer to your goal. And remember: celebrate your small wins along the way! That will make all the difference in keeping you going towards your new goal.

What I’ve learnt when it comes to job: if you don’t take actions to self improvement personally and professionally nothing will ever change in your career and life! Being self aware of areas where improvement has to begin is a crucial step!

Design a realistic and detailed plan to reach your goals...life coaches can help you with that! Once you have your action plan ready, be courageous, be brave, be willing to continue your journey and learning. Keep a growth mindset!

Bouncing back from career failure isn't just about resilience; it's about reinventing yourself. One uncommon yet highly effective strategy is to conduct a 'Failure Audit'. Instead of avoiding your failures, dive deep into them. Analyze each misstep to understand the underlying causes. Were there skills you lacked? Did you ignore certain red flags? By conducting a thorough failure audit, you transform each setback into a learning opportunity. This process not only helps you pinpoint areas for improvement but also builds a foundation of self-awareness and growth. Embrace your failures as stepping stones. Reflect, learn, and adapt. This proactive approach equips you with the insights needed to succeed in your next endeavor.

I believe, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, reflecting on the lessons it offers. Setting clear, actionable goals and focusing on your strengths is important. Along with all this, maintaining a positive mindset to fuel your comeback from any failure.

All the great people of the past have failed miserably at least for once in their lives. Some examples are: - Colonel Sanders the founder of KFC. He was 66 when he got a great shift in his business and before that he changed a lot of careers. - The famous Steve Jobs was removed from his own company. - Bruce Lee, broke his back & was informed he could never walk. He utilized the time he was bedridden to write his books. Later he got back into his training. - Muhammad Ali's hard earned heavy weight title was taken from him. He still came back after 10 years. Matter of fact is failure makes very good life coaches, consultants, trainers & even therapists. So, who knows your new career can bring +ve change in people's lives.

Seek feedback: Actively ask for feedback from trusted colleagues and mentors to gain different perspectives on your setback and identify areas for improvement. Embrace resilience: Cultivate resilience by focusing on your strengths and past successes to remind yourself of your capabilities.

Life is tough for many of us, and irregular setbacks, disappointments, and challenges are certain to arise. Under the circumstances, and as difficult as it may sound, try not to take all setbacks too personally and be kind to yourself. This post invites us how to navigate a "career failure", but take a moment to ask yourself what a 'career failure' actually looks like. Have we 'failed' because we didn't make CEO, didn't earn more money, or weren't powerful enough. What about the intrinsic rewards. In my opinion, "failure" is such a negative and judgemental word, and gives the subject minimal encouragement or motivation to learn from the experience. We are all unique and undoubtedly offer many strengths. Choose your words carefully.
