21: My Project Fell Apart – Here’s the 8-Step Process that Saved It
🎙 Episode Overview
📲 Call to Action
Today’s episode is a special sneak peek from my private podcast series: The Changemaker Case Files. This private series takes you behind the scenes into real coaching conversations with nurse changemakers — nurses just like you — who are navigating career pivots, leadership challenges, and everything in between.
In this episode, I’m sharing the 8-step process I personally use to navigate roadblocks in my own change work — including the very real tech disaster that almost derailed this entire podcast project. Whether you’re leading a project, navigating a career transition, or just trying to stay afloat in a constantly shifting healthcare system, these steps will help you stay grounded and move forward with confidence.
If you love this episode, you’ll love the full Changemaker Case Files series — and you can access it for free by subscribing at the link in the show notes.
- Why roadblocks are inevitable in any change project (and why that’s not a bad thing)
- The exact 8-step process for handling setbacks without spiraling
- How to emotionally discharge frustration so you can problem-solve effectively
- Why transparency builds trust — and how to share setbacks with your team the right way
- Roadblocks aren’t proof you’re failing — they’re part of the process.
- Emotional regulation comes before problem-solving — always.
- Resilient leaders communicate transparently, even when things go wrong.
- Every challenge is an opportunity to build creative problem-solving skills.
Listen with a recent or current challenge in mind, and think about how you can apply the 8-step process to your own situation. Even if you’re not leading a big project right now, this framework will serve you in any season of your career — from day-to-day work frustrations to major career pivots.
- Save the 8-Step Process — write it down or save it somewhere you can easily access when things go sideways.
- Practice emotional discharge intentionally the next time you hit a snag — avoid jumping straight into problem-solving mode.
- Reflect on a past project that hit a roadblock — how would this process have helped you navigate it differently?
- Subscribe to The Changemaker Case Files to hear even more real conversations and coaching moments — the private podcast is free and linked in the show notes.
