Episode Synopsis

Overcoming adversity is what Cindy Esliger addresses today. How we handle feelings of doubt and fear when we come up against obstacles is a necessary part of growth. Challenge is part of our roadmap to success so Cindy walks us through how to cope with adversity. We are more or less hardwired to avoid adversity. Our brains, programmed for survival, try to steer us away from adversity to help us stay alive. Now that we’ve evolved, however, avoidance is not the key to success in a safer world. What exactly are we avoiding, anyway? Cindy explains the three types of adversity we tend to face.We need a plan for dealing with these things that appear to be clear and present danger. Cindy first highlights the four common pitfalls in our dealings with adversity: 1) Not making enough decisions, 2) Not taking necessary actions, 3) Not considering possibilities, and 4) Shutting down to escape. She then details how to get past these pitfalls with three secrets to overcoming adversity. Facing fears makes us stronger, after all.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide for Determining Your Adversity QuotientAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger - Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
