Overcoming Setbacks

Setbacks happen to everyone. What's important is how we handle them. How we overcome setbacks and learn from them determines how we move forward  as individuals and as a team. In the case study from the Cutting Edge team, we learn that when facing setbacks you need to recognize when you feel stuck so you can start to move forward.

Learn that no matter what kind of setback it is there are things you can do to help you overcome your disappointment. Pick yourself up and move forward with a positive mindset. Ask for feedback and advice, and learn from setbacks.

Don't focus only on negatives INSTEAD: Limit the venting and move forward;
Don't withdraw from others INSTEAD: Ask for help and share concerns;
Don't lose hope of success INSTEAD: Remain confident and persistent;
Don't let an obstacle hold you back INSTEAD: Shake it off and see opportunities;
