Here's how you can bounce back from failure and achieve long-term success with executive coaching.

Embrace Failure does not mean expect it. Focus on what you can control – your preparation and response. Like I had someone say " I know I'' be rejected I anyways applied to the role" Don't do it Don't set yourself up for failure. Thats not what embrace failure means. Instead of anticipating rejection, a better approach is to prepare for a range of outcomes, both positive and negative. Develop strategies for success, and also consider potential challenges and how to mitigate them. Successful people don't expect rejection in everything they do, but they understand it's a possibility. A coach shows how to develop a proactive approach. It's about focusing on what you can control and adapting your strategy for long-term success.

Failure is our best teacher. Embracing failure is a key step in our growth. Reflect on what is the learning you are getting from the failure? Ask yourself these questions 1) What have you done well? What are you proud of that you want to remember for next time? 2) What do you want to change? What do you want to do differently? All big successes come from failing and learning from it. Work with a coach to identify the learnings you are getting from failing and they will become your biggest assets

In my experience as a Coach, it is essential to understand the feelings and beliefs associated with failure. Often, it is an intelligent, learned reaction to an environment that does not allow for mistakes. Becoming aware of the old strategies and investigating alternative options is a supportive way to embrace and integrate quicker failure.

Es muy saludable que el coach oriente la conversación para que el coachee reconozca el fracaso, su responsabilidad en esos resultados y la oportunidad que se abre a partir de lo anterior.

Venimos de una sociedad que sigue mirando el fracaso como algo negativo y que además lo ha castigado con momentos emocionales por parte de personas muy cercanas, seguro que os suena eso de: "lo ves? te lo dije que no merecía la pena arriesgarse; Si es que lo mejor es no destacar; Ves? Al final ha pasado lo que te dije, a ver si aprendes de una vez, etc..." Pero claro justo de esta forma es de la que nunca podrá aprender la persona. Es importante poder afrontar los errores o el fracaso de una manera positiva y constructiva, por supuesto desde la aceptación de que las cosas no han salido como queríamos, pero desde la perspectiva positiva de lo que sí hemos hecho y con ello, qué vamos a hacer ahora para cambiar el camino y llegar a Ser.

Antes de establecer las metas, mira mucha opciones, mira todas las posibilidades y observa las oportunidades. Trabaja sobre los posibles escenarios y los miedos que te impiden avanzar. Luego, toma la decisión del camino por el que te quieres dirigir.

Me parece importante hacer un ejercicio holístico a la hora de establecer nuestras metas, comenzando por las más lejanas o que parecen imposibles, pero que son a las que realmente nos gustaría llegar y luego ir mirando hacia atrás, hacía el hoy y ver qué habilidades y recursos tenemos, cuáles tenemos que adquirir para llegar a esa meta y desde ahí establecer metas más cortas, más alcanzables a corto plazo que nos ayuden a ir dando pasos cortos, alcanzables, claros, pero sin renunciar nunca a ese lugar, quizás más complejo y lejano que es en el que realmente queremos estar. Lo importante del camino es dar el primer paso, aprender por el recorrido, disfrutar del mismo, reinventarnos continuamente y trabajar mucho para conseguir llegar.

I always suggest setting unrealistic goals and realistic milestones. We tend to underestimate how far we can get, so what better than setting goals that seem so out there and crushing those milestones? It becomes addictive.

Before setting any Goals for sucess it's important to give time to reflect on the past mistakes and take a learning from it. Else, just mere setting a goal is not going to give the outcome. Success is not an overnight journey, it needs a continuous course of actions along with an attitude of Flexibility, learning, Ready to let go and keep thinking out of the box. Accepting this approach ensures success. Simultaneously setting SMART goal is important. Actions without Goals are worthless.

Make SMART goals better with SMAART: The additional A = Aligned with your personal values. So, step one is to get really clear on what those are.

Develop tailored strategies to overcome failure and achieve success. Work with your coach to create actionable plans addressing the root causes of setbacks. Identify skills or processes that need improvement. Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals to guide your progress. Break down larger goals into manageable steps. Prioritize actions that will yield the greatest impact. Incorporate lessons learned from past failures into your strategies. Regularly review and adjust your plans based on progress and feedback. Celebrate milestones and successes along the way. Remember, effective strategies turn failures into stepping stones toward long-term success.

For personal strategies to work, you must know and understand your current patterns of operating and dealing with things. Once you see them, you can change them and create new ones on the highest level.

Strategizing with an executive coach goes beyond surface-level solutions. It's crucial to align strategies with personal and professional values for effectiveness and sustainability. An executive coach can facilitate this by using tools like behavioral assessments and 360-degree feedback to gain comprehensive insights into areas needing improvement. Small milestones allow for regular evaluation and adjustment, building resilience and turning failures into stepping stones toward success. A structured approach ensures progress and reduces the risk of setbacks.

Work with your Coach to Work on your strength. One of the reasons there could be a failure is because the Individual did not focus on his core strength and allowed his weakness to take over. Through Positive Psychology, when the strengths are understood, the weakness can be overcome with a very strategic approach. Also, Here Pareto's principle will help to a great extent. Take up the task that will increase 80% of your chance to success rather than focusing on tasks that will only add to 20% of your chances.

To cultivate a growth mindset, executive coaching focuses on reframing how we perceive challenges. It starts with the understanding that setbacks are not roadblocks but opportunities for learning and development. Coaches work with you to build self-awareness and identify limiting beliefs, then guide you in replacing them with empowering ones. This helps maintain motivation and resilience in the face of adversity. By consistently practicing this mindset, you not only enhance your own resilience but also set a powerful example for your team, fostering an atmosphere of trust and continuous improvement.

Mindset is incredibly important in achieving anything. It is a muscle more than anything else. Shifting someone's mindset requires a lot of repetition over time. Many get frustrated along the way, but those who keep training it become stronger and stronger.

Cultivar una mentalidad positiva de aprendizaje y crecimiento continúo, independientemente de que el momento sea de fracaso o de éxito, nos hará crecer de manera exponencial, favoreciendo nuestra motivación continúa hacia la búsqueda de nuestro propósito. Además como líderes, nuestra actitud positiva inspirará lo mismo a las personas que nos acompa?an, consiguiendo de esta forma equipos compactos, con una actitud conjunta capaz de afrontar los grandes retos que supone llegar a lugares insospechados.

A Right Strategy with a Right Mindset is essential for success. Success can't be achieved if there is no growth mindset, Positive outlook, Resilience, Flexibility and Attitude to learn. These are essential skills needed in every step for each action taken towards success. One has to believe that they are worthy of Success. Unless, they do it's always going to be a distant journey.

The best tool in cultivating the right mindset is self-awareness. Cultivate that, and the mindset will shift in the right direction.

Cada vez que alguien nos diga lo bien que lo hemos hecho, lo primero y más importante es celebrarlo y alegrarnos, sin lugar a duda. Eso si, una vez afrontado ese éxito de manera positiva, lo siguiente que me parece muy importante es invitarle a que nos regale una reflexión, por ejemplo de la siguiente forma: "Muchas gracias, es muy importante para mi, después de tanto trabajo y compromiso, tu reconocimiento. Por favor, ?me dices al menos una cosa que podría mejorar según tu experiencia?" Yo esto lo hago siempre y eso hace que las personas se abran y poder recoger para mi una información muy válida pues viene desde alguien que te lo entrega de manera positiva y sabiendo que lo voy a valorar y aceptar como vital para mi.

I would strongly suggest that you solicit 360-degree feedback during your executive coaching sessions to learn from setbacks and propel yourself toward long-term success. This panoramic view incorporates perspectives from superiors, peers, and direct reports. While the sting of constructive criticism is inevitable, it unveils blind spots and exposes areas ripe for improvement. Once you can embrace this multi-source feedback loop, you can identify recurring patterns in your leadership style that may have contributed to the initial failure. It's an introspective journey that facilitated by your coach that becomes the cornerstone for crafting a personalized development plan.

People are more receptive to feedback versus criticism. Not many people are truly going to ask for criticism, which is why some people don’t solicit “constructive criticism.” However, when working with an executive coach as an avenue to get feedback to overcome failures the you must show vulnerability and humility. There is also a need for transparency so that the coach knows how to best to facilitate the conversations. The coach must help you feel comfortable and safe doing so! Be open to hearing things about yourself that you don’t want to hear in order to gain insights on how to approach the same or similar situations differently and to use the learnings from the failure to benefit you in the future.

It's important to discuss the Small wins and Failures with Your Coach. So that the timely measures can be taken to change the course of actions to minimise the potential damages or losses at the right time. A weekly or bi weekly timely Check is a good time frame to seek feedback and work towards achieving Goals. There are no fixed strategies for success. One has to keep observing and keep making changes as and when needed.

Reflection is key in leadership and to foster growth. Getting into a regular habit of stepping back and assessing a) what is working b) what needs to be changed is key to growing. Without reflection there is limited/no growth opportunity

A failure is an event like success. The challenge arises from the 'meaning' we attach to it. If we fail to draw a straight line on paper, do we fuss no? we get a scale and draw it again. We do not lament all life comparing ourselves to Da Vinci or Van Gogh! But in career, relationships we make it so significant that it causes us stress or depression. Why? The answer lies in our perception of the failures designed by us. Coaching helps one to clean the canvas and draw a fresh one.

It might sound like a cliché but I cannot lay enough emphasis on reframing. Coaching helps you do that and much more. Yes, these are failures because you did not come through the goals you set up for yourself but was that all that was there to it? What about the journey, the relationships, the learning - these are unique experiences that can only be experiences and not taught. It is easier said than done but then this is the past, it cannot be changed. What is valuable is how we form our next steps with these learnings (child like curiosity!). A great coach is your fellow traveller who can challenge your limiting beliefs and help you forge forward. Remember we always have a choice and what we do with it, matters the most.

A strong mindset paired with a strong body is unstoppable. One without the other is always a bit like limping. You get ahead, but it's painful, slow, and not sustainable over a longer journey (plus, it will cause other issues).

I tell my clients that success is very idiosyncratic. However, the highest form of success is not defined by one's accomplishments and goals. In coaching executives, a vast portion is spent reframing! That's what needs to happen here! They see failure, I see opportunity! Opportunity for growth, learning, to do something else next time. So how do we bounce back? We embrace it as difficult as it might be. And that can only happen with the awareness and compassion. That's where you lead a client! ????
