MEGA SESSION Resilience – Flourishing After A Flop
The ability pick yourself up and bounce back from setbacks and failures is an absolute requirement to succeed in today’s world, both professionally and personally. You must take risks to set yourself apart in your work, some of which may not turn out the way you expect them to. Some of those risks will even blow up in your face! What you do after a mistake or misstep is far more important that what you do after an achievement or success. This session will show you how to:
· Post-mortem a set-back so that your career gets long-term benefit from it.
· Understand the difference between giving up and “wising up.”
· Become skilled at recovery when most people have ground to a halt.
· Make your career as stagnation-proof as possible.
