How do you deal with a mistake or criticism at work? If you find yourself starting to spiral into anxiety, overthinking everything you’ve ever done that might have caused the current situation, you’re far from alone. We’re all human, and, unfortunately, that means when we screw up or receive less than glowing feedback at work, we have a tendency to take it personally. 

In this episode, I explore how we can move away from shame in these situations and shore up our self-worth so that we can resiliently and proactively deal with our mistakes in ways that empower positive change and set us up to be stronger in the future—both in and beyond our careers.

Try these tricks for taking the personal out of professional missteps:

• How to make sure you’re telling yourself the actual, objective story;
• Why it’s essential to name, rather than negate, whatever you’re feeling;
• How to use that unfortunate situation to plan your confident comeback.
