Turning Setbacks into Success: Building Resilience and Confidence

Welcome to the Essentially You podcast, where we explore the science of happiness and well-being to help coaches and coaching leaders bring out the best in themselves and those they serve. If you're looking for new approaches to serve your clients or looking to create a culture of positivity and well-being in your organization, join me, Mark Mathia, on a journey of discovery and inspiration.

Have you ever experienced a major setback at work? Maybe you lost a big client, were fired, missed a deadline, or received negative feedback from your boss. How did you cope with it? Did you feel discouraged, angry, or ashamed? Or did you bounce back quickly and learn from the experience? Setbacks are inevitable in any career, but they don't have to define or derail us. In fact, they can be opportunities for growth, improvement, and innovation.

In this episode, we'll explore ways to show up as our best self after a setback at work based on the principles of positive psychology, which is the scientific study of what makes life worth living and how we can cultivate our strengths, happiness, and well-being. We'll draw on insights from experts like Arthur Brooks, Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, and Dr. Angela Duckworth. They will teach us how to build resilience, strengthen our confidence, and offer hope in the face of adversity.

Join us as we delve into these strategies and more, transforming setbacks into opportunities for growth and inspiring others to do the same. Together, we can create a culture of positivity and resilience in the workplace.
