How to Recover from a Mistake at Work


Listen Later

Mistakes. The word itself makes a high-achiever cringe.

Sure, we all know that logically, "mistakes happen to the best of us."

But when you're the one making the mistake?

It feels like the worst.

And now, you've got two problems: the original mistake, and being knocked off your game.

The original problem is now compounded. You might spend weeks or even months in your own head, worrying about the screw-up. Ruminating on who's judging you and how it might come back to bite you.

Your inner critic will sap your confidence more than any mistake.

What differentiates the highest performers is not a lack of errors. It's how fast they get back on their game after a mistake.

This is a skill you can learn.

Whether it's a minor "oops" moment or a major fumble, we'll dive into how to gracefully recover from a mistake at work.

So you can lead with the relaxed confidence you deserve.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why cultivating an anti-fragile approach is useful

  • A framework to help you step out of self-criticism, and into useful action

  • 2 steps to recover from big and small mistakes at work
