@Amy Shoenthal : 我在演讲中提出了一个名为“挫折循环”的框架,它包含四个阶段:确立、接纳、探索和浮现。首先,你需要确立你正处于挫折之中,这并不总是显而易见的。有些挫折很明显,比如失业或失败,但有些挫折则潜移默化,你可能并没有意识到。我提供了一个“闹钟清单”来帮助你识别挫折,它包含两个问题:你对什么充满活力?你对什么感到厌倦?通过持续记录你的答案,你可以发现模式并意识到自己是否处于挫折之中。 接纳阶段是最难的,因为它要求我们直面不适。但正是这些不适的时刻,我们才能实现转变。我个人经历了在产假后被调离领导岗位的挫折,这让我重新审视了自己的价值和能力。 探索阶段的关键在于培养你的社区。我们比想象中更互联,你的社区就像一个星座,一个联系就能打开无数可能性。你可以通过养成联系的习惯来建立这些联系,比如每天晚上给一位你可能不会联系的人发短信或打电话。在我被解雇后,我积极联系朋友、客户和前同事,他们帮助我获得了新的机会。 浮现阶段是令人兴奋的,你拥有了工具,现在需要决定要建造什么。但从知道到行动可能很复杂,你需要休息和调整,然后才能前进。 总而言之,通过这个框架,你可以更清晰地看待挫折,并从中获得成就感。 @Madhu Pakinola : Amy 的演讲中,我最喜欢的是她建议每月记录让你充满活力和让你感到精疲力尽的事情。这并非强制性的待办事项清单,也不是纯粹的愿望清单,而是一种扎根于当下实践。它挖掘出的东西可能会让你大吃一惊。 我还认为 Amy 关于接纳的说法很重要,尤其是在我对待自己身体方面。我可以假装自己没有变老,可以优化自己以摆脱任何可能面临的限制。但相信这一点对我有什么好处呢?我只会让自己失望。Amy 将挫折循环中的接纳阶段定义为最困难的阶段,这对我来说很有意义。这意味着要直面倒退的现实并强烈地感受这种挫败感。但也许对现实的坚定把握会在你坚定地凝视着前方所有可能性时为你提供良好的服务。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter introduces the concept of setbacks as unexpected reversals in progress, differentiating them from obstacles or mistakes. It explores how setbacks, while sometimes obvious, can also be subtle and easily overlooked, leading to the importance of self-assessment.
  • Setbacks are defined as a reversal or check in progress.
  • Some setbacks are obvious (e.g., job loss, relationship ending), while others are subtle and easily ignored.
  • The "alarm clock checklist" is introduced as a method to identify potential setbacks by assessing what energizes and disengages you.

Shownotes Transcript

Success rarely happens in a straight line, with setbacks all but guaranteed along the way. What's the best way to recover? Leadership coach Amy Shoenthal lays out the four phases of the "setback cycle" and explains how to transform difficult moments into opportunities for reinvention and progress. After, Modupe reflects on Amy's talk and the benefits of facing existential questions -- not for despair but to be awaken to clearer possibilities.
