Solicite também avaliações de parceiros de outras empresas, clientes, amigos, familiares e mentores. Busque, de uma forma estruturada e não enviesada, refletir sobre seus pontos de melhoria e o que poderia ter feito de forma diferente. Não se arme e nem se defenda.! Agora é hora de refletir e de dar aquele passo para trás para - depois - dar dois à frente!

Don't just learn, implement the learnings; convert your experience into your expertise; seek guidance and feedback, be persistent in putting efforts and bounce back "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." ― Winston Churchill

Resilience will enable you to persevere, become stronger and more successful.

"Adriano, fui desligado na sexta e hoje, terça, resolvi começar a acionar a minha rede de cont...", não deixei esse meu amigo concluir o que estava falando e pedi - na sequência - para ele repetir a frase, porém, prestando atenção no que estava falando. Pois bem, primeiramente, este é um grande (senão o maior) erro que as pessoas podem praticar quando se trata de empregabilidade. NÃO SE DEVE ACIONAR A REDE DE CONTATOS APENAS QUANDO SE ESTÁ FORA DO MERCADO! Networking é uma constante; aliás, melhor chamar Netliving dado que vivemos em redes. Se comunique, interaja, vá a workshops, palestras, agende cafés, ligue para as pessoas, contribua... Quem é visto, é lembrado e, se cair, a probabilidade é que tenham mais mãos para te reerguer.

Take the time to consider if this is bringing you the energy to work within it. There is only so much self talk and meditation, mentoring and networking you can do before you need to recognise if this is the place for you. Don't be afraid to change course, move on, step away and rethink. When you are in a place that is really serving you as much as you are serving it you should find the need for all the meditation and self care is a gentle practice and not something you need to get through the weeks. Take each setback as a reset. A time to consider and a time to change if that might be necessary. There is always a lesson in every highlight and low light, be grateful for it and use it well. End up in a place you were meant for.
