3 ways to tackle failures
09/08/22 • 16 min
How did it feel when you won that MVP award? I'm sure it must've felt great. And how did it feel when you were left out for the promotion over your
fiercest rival? Miserable, I guess. How did it feel when you got your dream job, and what happened when you were laid off?
For many, the feeling of loss is a far stronger emotion than the thrill of a victory, because no one taught you how to cope with a loss.
So who taught you how to lose? Was it your teacher, your parents, friends, or siblings?
Chances are the answer for most people is no one.
We live in a world where the emotional distance between winning and losing is staggering. Yet, all management gurus advise not to be too affected by
either success or failure. The question is, how? How do we not get affected by a failure or a loss when the world constantly reminds us
of what we missed and what others gained?
Tune in to this episode of BasTalk, where I share a coping mechanism or framework to deal with failures, defeats, or losses.

Moonlighting:Employers & Employees
Your honeymoon is over!
How many times have bosses said that to new employees? How many times did employees get a chance to reply? And if they did, guess what the employee would like to say in return?
