1 Accept Reality

Accepting the reality of a professional setback is a crucial step towards overcoming self-doubt. It's natural to feel a range of emotions, from disappointment to frustration. However, denying or ignoring these feelings won't make them go away. Instead, acknowledge the situation and your emotions. This acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it's about facing the truth of the moment so you can start working towards a solution. By doing so, you take the first step in reclaiming control over your circumstances and your mindset.

#1 Rule to make your life is not to argue with reality. The sooner you can step back, evaluate what happened from a 3rd perspective, and draw learnings, the easier you make it for yourself. Another way of looking at things is, that failures, mistakes, and setbacks are part of the game. The more you have, the closer you get to winning and success too.

2 Reflect Deeply

Once you've accepted your professional setback, take time to reflect on what happened. Reflecting isn't about dwelling on the negative or beating yourself up. It's an opportunity to objectively analyze the situation and identify what went wrong. Ask yourself what lessons can be learned and how you can apply these insights moving forward. Reflection is a powerful tool that can transform failure into a stepping stone for future success. Through this process, you'll gain clarity and a sense of direction that can help dispel self-doubt.

3 Seek Support

When grappling with self-doubt, it's essential to seek support from others. You don't have to face your struggles alone. Reach out to mentors, colleagues, or friends who can provide perspective, advice, or simply a listening ear. These individuals can remind you of your strengths and accomplishments, which is invaluable when you're feeling discouraged. Additionally, they may offer practical suggestions or strategies that you hadn't considered. The act of sharing your experience can be cathartic and can help rebuild your confidence.

4 Set Small Goals

After a professional failure, the path forward might seem daunting. To regain confidence, start by setting small, achievable goals. These goals should be specific and measurable, allowing you to track your progress and celebrate small victories along the way. Each accomplishment, no matter how minor it may seem, is a step towards rebuilding your self-assurance. As you meet these smaller goals, you'll gradually restore your belief in your capabilities, which will help in tackling larger challenges in the future.

5 Embrace Learning

Embrace the learning opportunities that come with failure. Every professional setback is a chance to grow and develop new skills. Instead of fixating on what you've lost, focus on what you can gain from the experience. Identify new knowledge or abilities that could prevent similar failures in the future. This mindset shift—from viewing failure as a negative outcome to seeing it as a valuable learning experience—can significantly reduce self-doubt and encourage a more positive outlook on your professional journey.

I love Robin Sharma's question, 'What's the opportunity here?' There is always something to learn from failure and if you are open to it, you grow stronger and wiser. It is easy to do well when things are going well. Your inner strength grows when you navigate failures and are open to learning from them. Seek counsel from those who have experienced failure and gone on to better things. Avoid listening to people who have not been there and have strong opinions that don't support you to learn and grow. Know that you have got this :-).

6 Move Forward

Finally, it's time to move forward with renewed determination. Use the insights gained from reflection and the support you've received to craft a plan of action. This plan should include clear steps on how you'll apply what you've learned to future projects or roles. Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting the failure; it means integrating the experience into your professional narrative in a way that contributes to your growth. With a proactive approach, you can turn a period of self-doubt into a defining moment of resilience and perseverance.

I have seen many of my colleagues, and even myself, experience and express self-doubt of their abilities at times - in reality, it happens as we are all human. However, one thing that I do is to remind myself of past successes and triumphs, which have made me a credible employee and sought after voice of reason among my peers.
