Here's how you can cultivate resilience and recover from career setbacks.

Nenhuma situa??o pode ser mudada antes de ser reconhecida. O primeiro passo para evoluir qualquer condi??o é colocar luz sobre ela, é estar consciente do que efetivamente aconteceu ou está acontecendo.

Accepting reality does not mean taking the blame for the situation. Understand the causes, that may be associated with leadership decisions, company growth and change of purpose. This will aid in understanding the causes and move on rather than reeling under the pressures for self-inflicting thoughts.

Accepting reality is crucial for resilience and recovering from career setbacks. It involves accepting the situation without denial or resistance, it allows to confront challenges head-on. Acceptance enables us to see the situation clearly, understand its implications, & identify actionable steps for improvement. Recognizing & accepting the reality of setback allows to move beyond feelings of frustration or regret, focus instead on constructive solutions and personal growth.

The word "resilience" is so overused these days (yawn). Here's my take on getting started: 1) Yes-- accept reality, but please do this every day, not just during a career setback. The more honest you are with yourself, the easier life will be. Full stop. 2) Speaking of stop: Stop using the word resilient and be very, very suspicious of those who do. Think Inigo Motoya: "I do not think it means what you think it means." One word doth not maketh a person. 3) Focus on empowering phrases like "I have the ability to change," "I can adjust," "I will adapt," and "it's OK to move on." 4) Know you are not alone. It can feel isolating to have a career setback, and this is when you need your village, your network, your people.

Acceptance followed by responsibility puts you back in control after any setback. You are human, there will be setbacks and sometimes they take you somewhere even better than you had planned. Setbacks also build your confidence, remember all the setbacks you have had, how you moved forward and what you learned. Once you have accepted the situation, give yourself some space to feel what you are feeling. Then shift into your growth mindset and think about how you can use this to keep moving forward.

Once you have gauged the causes, frame your perspective and involvement in the same to frame thoughts on how your experience, skills may be a better match elsewhere. Focus on enhancing and sharpening your skills and emerge with greater resilience and fortitude for taking on the next stage of your journey.

Mind and thoughts are more influential than actions. True change begins within. Focus your energy on identifying the root cause, gaining clarity on your goals, and determining where you want to work or start your venture. Recognize your potential, analyze your skills and experience, and explore how best to utilize them. By doing so, you'll pave the way for a fulfilling and successful career path.

YES!!! The power (and skill) to reframe a setback is one of the most important life skills you can learn and practice. Reframing can become the basis of your interview and how you overcome the feelings of loss and potential inadequacies of the setback. Such a reframing can also become your north star. For example, "I remain proud about my work at Goofy Company, Inc., particularly my contributions to [add value points here]. Considering how fortunate I feel to do the work I love with such great people, I was sorry to see it come to an end because of the restructuring, but this also gives me a chance to explore new ways I can further my own development while seeking a new opportunity to make an impact." That's reframing.

Reach out to experts, influencers and mentors in your domain and build networks. Seek guidance to improve and transform your opportunity areas in strengths and showcase your achievements. Your network can boost your prospects immensely.

Building a robust professional network is key to recovering from career setbacks and helps in many ways. Cultivate relationships with mentors, peers, and industry contacts who can offer support, advice, and potential opportunities. Attend networking events, join professional organizations, and engage on social media platforms relevant to your field. This network can provide invaluable resources, encouragement, and insights to help you navigate challenges and bounce back stronger in your career journey.

Continuous learning certainly improves our ability to adjust and remain in tact in the face of hardship-- particularly something that wasn't predicted, which is often the case with a career setback. Learning should feel empowering, community-building, and confidence-boosting. You are exposed to new ways of thinking, new ideas, new methods, and new skills. You might also receive meaningful validation and reinforcement of worth and value in an environment that praises and rewards who you are when our work environments lack in this. IMPORTANT: Many career setbacks such as lay offs or mismanagement aren't predicted or preventable, but continuous learning gives us a powerful foundation to accept, reset, and forge onward in spite of challenges.

Utilize the time to learn and contribute in as many ways as you can to demonstrate your learning. Reach out to experts to understand the learning and development opportunities and solicit projects to establish the efficacy of your learnings.

Learning is a life long journey. Ensure to also focus on learning something new or expanding your knowledge base. Learn Continuously keeps you stay relevant, adaptable, and competitive in the fields. It allows for the acquisition of new skills, knowledge, and perspectives, enabling individuals to innovate, problem-solve, and seize opportunities. It fosters resilience, as it equips with the tools to navigate change, overcome obstacles, and thrive in dynamic environments.

é comum ouvirmos que diante das dificuldades na carreira é preciso resiliência (manter-se igual apesar das dificuldades). Gosto do conceito de antifragilidade explorado pelo Nassim Taleb, que expande o primeiro. Ser antifrágil compreende resistir ao choque ou situa??o inc?moda, aprender com aquela vivência e se fortalecer como profissional.

Set goals for yourself in terms of roles, companies and locations and start your quest by reaching out to influencers and catalysts that can assist in the attainment of these goals and understand if these meet your desired timelines.

Setting practical goals with a timeline is crucial for career resilience. Start by assessing your experience and skills. Create a simple checklist outlining your targets such as industry preferences, desired roles, preferred companies, and location considerations. Leverage your network for support and guidance, and don't hesitate to collaborate with peers or industry contacts to showcase your potential. By breaking down your goals and seeking assistance when needed, you can navigate setbacks more effectively and progress toward your objectives.

Engage in Resilience Building Practices by developing a growth mindset, seeking feedback, and maintaining a positive attitude. Re-creating the narrative helps in adjusting perspectives and creating healthier storylines, so that one can foster a sense of control and interpretation of events. Mindful journaling may be a good way to do it, it helps reflect on experiences, emotions and thoughts. Also, building a support system or community is very important in priming one for resilience.
