Few people achieve lasting success in life without overcoming a few obstacles first. Consider the example of Walt Disney. As a young man, Disney was fired from his job at a newspaper because his boss thought he wasn't creative enough. His first film studio failed, leaving him bankrupt. And he struggled to release many of his now-classic films. But Disney persevered through all the setbacks he encountered and went on to build a billion-dollar entertainment corporation.The qualities of perseverance and resilience demonstrated by Walt Disney are the same qualities you can use to be successful in the workplace. Perseverance and resilience help you cope with challenges such as losing your job, not getting the promotion you feel you deserve, losing a key customer, or missing an important deadline. By being perseverant and resilient, you're more likely to overcome such setbacks, rather than panic or give up.This course outlines strategies for dealing with workplace setbacks. These strategies can help you rebound quickly from them, refocus on your goals, and ultimately succeed. This course also describes how you can learn to be perseverant and resilient, yourself. And it provides strategies you can use to enhance and develop your levels of perseverance and resilience. Adopting these strategies should boost your ability to cope with crises when they occur.After taking this course, you should be in a better position to manage setbacks, challenges, and adversity at work using the techniques of perseverance and resilience you have learned.Setting a challenging goal for yourself can be an extremely rewarding experience. It forces you to grow personally, and helps you to reap benefits that you may previously have thought unlikely. But few things are as frustrating as watching your best-laid plans come apart as a result of an unforeseen obstacle. That's why you need to persevere and overcome any setbacks in order to achieve your goal.To achieve your targets and objectives, you need to set an inspiring goal that will help you to stay motivated. Remember that no matter how determined you may be, you should also be prepared for possible setbacks along the way. And bear in mind that the ultimate test of your perseverance and resilience will be your ability to deal effectively with, and overcome, any obstacles you encounter.In this course, you'll learn how to set inspiring goals that will give you a sense of direction by making them measurable, achievable, purposeful, and specific. You're more likely to succeed in your goal if it's energizing and well planned. You'll then discover how to anticipate setbacks by listing potential obstacles, categorizing and prioritizing them, and then identifying the key obstacle.Finally, you'll examine how to overcome obstacles by recognizing where your plan went wrong and by reaffirming your abilities. This process also involves refocusing on your goal, and resuming with a new plan of action.By following the guidelines in this course, you'll be better able to proactively anticipate and plan for possible difficulties. And you'll have a greater chance of overcoming obstacles and achieving your goal by using perseverance and resilience.When was the last time you experienced a setback or failure? In all walks of life, every person will meet with disappointment at some point. An even greater failure, however, is to leave these setbacks unassessed. Those who don't accurately dissect their errors are likely to make them again.To persevere beyond a setback, you must analyze it to find its root causes. You'll benefit from dissecting what went wrong and why it went wrong. From there you can realize the changes needed to avoid the same fate again.A setback can linger in people's minds such that they allow it to define them. A lack of closure - wherein you fail to understand why the setback occurred - can result.
