Here's how you can navigate common mistakes when responding to failure in your career.

The first step is to acknowledge the reality of the situation without denial or avoidance, for this means facing the facts and accepting what has occurred, whether it's a failure, setback, or unexpected challenge. Take time to understand the consequences of the situation and how it affects your goals, plans, or objectives, if consider the short-term and long-term impacts and be realistic about the challenges ahead. Failure is an opportunity for learning and growth, then instead of dwelling on the negative aspects, focus on what you can learn from the experience. Identify the factors that contributed to the failure and reflect on what you could have done differently!

Building personal resiliency is just like going to the gym, it needs consistency to deliver the results you are looking for. The overall approach that has helped me: 1. Reframe the negative thoughts in your mind. Change your thinking to a “hurdle or opportunity”, this helps manage your mindset towards the positive instead of negative. 2. Step back, remove emotion and apply your strategic mindset by asking yourself questions to understand the why/what/how. 3. Seek out feedback, importantly don’t be defensive on this exploration, look for the learnings, and identify actions to improve or refine. 4. Build your plan upwards and onwards. Identify what you need to do, define decision points, skills you need to refine or learn etc.

Accepting reality after a failure is a complex and very individual process. Denial is a natural reaction and reality will change over time as our perspective on the situation shifts. I would always encourage people go through this process with the pace that they feel comfortable with. If they rush through it, they are usually increasing the risk of creating a positive socially acceptable storyline for themselves. After some time, they look back and discover a different truth which can potentially be the reason for another difficult acceptance they have to go through.

In my professional life, I have experienced failure more than once. My growth has come from understanding that it is not always within my control when it happens or presents itself in my life. However, accepting it and analyzing it to take the next step has been helpful My support network has been crucial for this self-reflection.
