Maintaining resilience is crucial in various aspects of life, including job searches, workplace challenges, and personal growth. To cultivate resilience, it is important to focus on positive aspects and set intentions and expectations. The reticular activating system in the brain also helps in this process.
Being curious and asking questions, reframing situations, and identifying what keeps you motivated are effective strategies. Ultimately, prioritizing happiness and creating a fulfilling work life contributes to resilience and overall well-being.

Every poll I post on LinkedIn about toxic behaviors, micro management comes up as number one. So, I decided to ask why people micromanage. 12,000 votes cast and hundreds of comments later, it's clear this is still a problem and it's extremely demoralizing. Restoring confidence in this situation involves tracking progress and accomplishments, reminding yourself that it's not about you, and managing your thoughts.
By tracking your achievements and recognizing your success, you can validate yourself and restore confidence. Reminding yourself that micromanaging behavior is not a reflection of your abilities can also help restore confidence. Managing your thoughts and intentionally choosing positive thoughts can shift your feelings and behaviors.
Finally, it's important to assume that the micromanager will not change and focus on how you want to show up in the situation.
Takeaways
>> Track your progress and accomplishments to validate yourself and restore confidence.
>> Remind yourself that micromanaging behavior is not about you and does not reflect your abilities.
>> Manage your thoughts and intentionally choose positive thoughts to shift your feelings and behaviors.
>> Assume that the micromanager will not change and focus on how you want to show up in the situation.

I love BrenĂŠ Brown's teaching on being courageous through vulnerability. By her definition, being vulnerable is having the courage to lean in when things get tough -- to not quit when you're facing uncertainty or feeling exposed.
Being courageous in the sense of being vulnerable is so important.
Why? Because creativity, innovation, taking action is reliant on vulnerability -- on leaning in when it's uncomfortable.
So, how do you do it?
We do it with the three things I'm going to outline for you here. I believe they are key components of having a courageous career:::
03:04 - Facing Reality
07:42 - Listening to Emotions
11:00 - Unconditional Intention
Go out there and be courageous, my friends.
