Stay proactive by networking, seeking mentorship, and exploring new opportunities aligned with your aspirations. Remember, setbacks can lead to unexpected paths towards success when faced with resilience and openness to change.

"Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness." - Eckhart Tolle 1. Although it's difficult, you need to come to the terms and accept that your career has had a setback and it's time to take a step back and course correct 2. Don't blame yourselves or others for this situation; don't try to run away or hide 3. Express your emotions and feelings before your family and friends; unburden your emotions and open up your mind 4.

Set clear, achievable goals to regain momentum. Seek support from mentors, peers, or a professional network for guidance and encouragement. Focus on building and enhancing your skills through training or new projects. Stay resilient and maintain a positive attitude, viewing the setback as an opportunity for growth.

Acceptance of a career setback is also an outcome of getting a mentor or a coach, who can provide a framework that uncovers the root cause of the setback and tools to forge ahead. Coaching or mentoring sessions provide constructive feedback and you must be ready to accept it, your response to the feedback will determine if you will bounce back or not. It's never about blaming you or the system, it's finding how best to grow your career and building the required tenacity to manage challenges henceforth.

Seeking feedback is an opportunity for growth! This is not a journey that we can always walk alone. Seeking a mentor or coach will allow you to get advice and guidance and a space to share your feelings throughout the process. We can often be our biggest obstacles, but getting feedback can help us move forward whether it be on your materials or overall expectations.

In the wake of a career setback the worst thing you can do is pointing fingers and blaming other people. Seek feedback on how you could've done better from different people, colleagues, your ex boss, friends, family that can be objective and impartial about it. This way you can gain a 360 view of yourself and what can you do to better yourself, work wise or bland skills wise to do better in your next challenge.

Resilience is the required quotient for thriving through uncertain days, it's one of the most important skills career professionals must build right now. Resilience requires mental agility, healthy relationships, and a strong body to push even in the face of repeated patterns of failure or setbacks.

With resilience comes acceptance. Accept the setback, treat it as a learning opportunity, acknowledge that it wasn’t what you were hoping for, and start looking forward to and preparing for the next opportunity. If you lose your determination and positive attitude, others will be able to notice this and you may not appear interested or as though you’ve already accepted that you’re “not good enough”.

As Julie Andrews says; "When one door closes, another window opens". As humans, it's part of our hardwiring to avoid danger and (back when that hardwiring saved us from saber tooth tigers!) change and danger often went hand-in-hand. So take this opportunity to embrace the modern age we work in, and start perceiving change differently. Perhaps change could actually be a synonym for opportunity? What amazing dreams could you turn into a reality as a result of this change? The mind boggles at the possibilities!

Quando falamos em mudan?as no trabalho, sempre há resistências. A zona de conforto é o que a grande maioria prefere. Porém, muitas vezes para alcan?armos as metas e/ou objetivos é necessário que nos adaptemos às necessidades/ atualidades para o atingimento destes. O comodismo só nos dificulta vencermos as barreiras. Estarmos sempre atualizados e aceitarmos as mudan?as necessárias, contribuirá em muito o atingimento do objetivo e seu crescimento pessoal.

Networking is the one stop solution, to tide over the situation. It’s the only way to forge new partnerships & find avenues for development of fresh trajectories. It often calls for stepping out of comfort zones & interacting with multi disciplines, keeping an open mind & being change ready. Easier said than done, toughest ask is to stay out of every possibility of shelling self up.
