You're facing setbacks in a new career role. How can you build resilience to overcome them?

– Don't bottle up your disappointment or frustration. Talk to a trusted friend, colleague, or mentor. – It's okay to feel down after a setback. Recognize and accept your feelings without dwelling on them. – Take time to reflect on the situation. What factors contributed to the setback? – Did you make any errors in judgment or execution? Don't blame yourself, but learn from any mistakes. – View it as a learning experience, not a failure. Use phrases like "challenge" or "opportunity" instead of "failure."

No one wants to fail. But it happens. Learn from failure. Then at least you gain something from it. If you don't succeed and don't learn, that's a double whammy.

To build resilience and overcome setbacks in a new career role, embrace failure. View failures as valuable learning opportunities rather than roadblocks. Reflect on what went wrong and identify lessons that can help you improve. Develop a growth mindset, understanding that setbacks are part of the journey to success. Seek feedback from colleagues and mentors to gain new perspectives and advice. Use these experiences to adapt your strategies and approaches. By embracing failure, you can build resilience, continuously learn, and ultimately succeed in your new role.

Anytime we try something new, we are going to have bumps in the road where things don't go as planned. Go into any new situation (and even existing situations) with the mindset that "there's always going to be challenges and setbacks - what's the learning I can get from it?" The only time you'll not fail is if you stick to doing only the things you know how to do already - and what's the fun in that?

Learn from Mistakes: View failures as learning opportunities. Stay Positive: Maintain a positive outlook to keep moving forward. Adapt Quickly: Use setbacks to adapt and improve your strategies

If there's setbacks, talk to people in the know - your manager, coworkers - about the situation and let them know what the issue is, what you've tried to do to resolve it, and what the sticking point/problem is that you're running into. People want to help - but make sure to do your due diligence by figuring out WHAT the issue is so people can give you better help. If you're finding yourself triggered and anxious about the situation and are overwhelmed, start first with a trusted person who can hear your concerns with compassion and without judgment. Simply sharing these to a compassionate listener will help you calm down a bit more. THEN you can get clarity on how to ask for more formal help from work peers/bosses.

When you ask for support then, - you will get more clarity - you save time - you connect with your colleagues (networking) - You end up saving a lot of time on work that has already been done Asking for support is a good sign that you are willing to learn and grow

Mentorship: Find a mentor who can provide guidance and advice. Peer Support: Connect with colleagues who understand your challenges. Professional Help: Consider professional coaching or counseling if needed.

Facing setbacks in a new career role can be challenging. These setbacks can also trigger stress responses in your body and mind. Engaging in regular self-care practices, like mindfulness activities, meditating, or exercising, can help regulate your nervous system, making it easier to bounce back and build resilience.

The first step is to define the set backs. What are they and what feelings do they invoke in you? You will probably need help to define them, especially if they seem a bit vague. How do these setbacks relate to previous situations in your past and how did you overcome them then? How do you really feel about the setbacks? The only way to overcome the setbacks is to met your internal world, inquire into what is going on for you, face any scary emotions - so that you can be open and spacious and not take things so personally.
