In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

  • Nayla’s newsletter post about a vacation gone wrong that elicited her largest reader response to date and inspired this episode

  • The three options you have when plans start going sideways

  • Why “making the most of it” isn’t the ideal solution to things going awry

  • The main factor you need to consider when deciding how you’re going to react to a situation gone wrong

What do you do when your new hire seems like a perfect fit during the hiring process but it’s clear it’s not working out when they get into the role?

Or, you put all your eggs into the career track basket you thought would get you promoted, but you find yourself plateauing?

Or, you’ve invested significant resources into launching a new product and the reception is underwhelming?

We all like to think we know how to handle things when our plans go sideways, but our experiences and those we’ve coached our clients through have repeatedly proven that’s not the case.

So, we’re taking the time this week to dive into the various ways we can respond to setbacks, the questions you can ask yourself to help you reframe the situation, and what you can learn from those experiences to help you in the future.
