Listen "170 - How Is This To My Benefit?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Cindy Esliger talks about reframing challenges into opportunities for growth. The challenges that pop up in the workplace over and over can erode our confidence in the long run, but what Cindy wants us to know is that we have the power to shape what the challenges mean. They can be empowering instead of destructive if we view them the right way. How do we transform struggles into power? How do we use the challenges to our benefit? Amid the confusion and frustration of workplace struggles lies a profound opportunity. While we can’t control other people or circumstances that arise, we can control our own responses and interpretations of the experience. Cindy walks us through ten steps on how to build a stronger foundation for success from the struggles and setbacks we encounter. 1) Acknowledge the hurt. 2) Accept that people will behave according to their fears, not our merits. 3) Reframe setbacks as stepping stones. Cindy continues explaining how to build success from challenges. 4) Master the stories we tell ourselves. 5) Identify patterns and learn from them. 6) Distill lessons into personal wisdom. 7) Adjust our beliefs and behaviors. 8) Build and protect resilience. 9) Shift from blame to ownership. And 10) Choose intentional action every step of the way. Cindy guides us through these ten steps because, as she says, “you have the power to make this the beginning of your transformation”. We are the only ones who get to decide what’s next for ourselves.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Turning Setbacks Into SuccessAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
