Recovering from Damaging Situations

Use these SIX STEPS to restore your reputation and confidence when you have an ‘oops at the office’

No one is perfect.

You’re human and part of being human means that one day you might do or say something in the workplace that damages your reputation. You don’t have to face this by yourself; I can help you. Did you miss a deadline? Drink WAY too much at the company party? Bad mouth the boss? Lose your temper in a meeting? Whatever happened, stop stressing and start moving forward NOW. Of course you are beyond ready to move forward aren’t you?

OK then, have you:

  • Made PEACE with yourself?
  • Assessed the REAL situation?
  • Identified your LESSONS learned?

Let me teach you these and all of the SIX steps you need so that YOU are back on track and that oops remains in the past – which is exactly where it belongs!

  • You can’t go back in time and change what happened
  • You can’t make other people forget about what happened
  • You can’t control how others respond to your behavior
  • YOU CAN take control of what happens next
  • YOU CAN emerge from this as a CONFIDENT, SUCCESSFUL professional

“Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.” – Nikki Giovanni

“The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.” Edward J. Phelps

But what if I?

  • Bad mouthed the boss and it got back to him (or her)?
  • Flashed my co-workers (yes, I was drinking) and now it is up on MySpace?
  • Lost my temper in a meeting?
  • Missed a critical deadline?
  • Delivered a product to a customer with a major bug or error?

It does not matter what you did. These SIX steps will work you through the situation and bring you out the other side. You will pick yourself up, dust yourself you off and move on! Note, ‘Recovering from Damaging Situations’ is not legal advice and it is not meant to be legal advice. It is meant to help you with the emotional and political aspects of your damaging situation.

Really, the SAME SIX STEPS will help no matter what? Yes, these are the same steps that my private clients learn and use. Here is what some of them have to say:

Thanks again for your help with this situation. You made learning from this tough situation possible and enjoyable. – DP, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Margaret, you really took what seemed to be a complicated situation and cut right to the chase. Your steps make sense and they are really working. Thank you. – PJ, Phoenix, AZ, USA

…Just want to tell you again, how much I appreciated and got from our time together, I now understand what I need to do to move on… – HG, San Francisco, CA, USA

Now ask yourself this question:

  • Do I know how to get over this situation and move on?

If the answer is NO, you need ‘Recovering from Difficult Situations’.

History is littered with heroes who have failed. Heroes who have had spectacular screw ups on the job.

  • Walt Disney was fired from an advertising agency for a lack of drawing ability.
  • Babe Ruth broke the major league record for striking out.
  • Ludwig van Beethoven was called a hopeless composer by his teacher.
  • ____________ (your name here) had an oops at the office.

Remember how you move forward is really up to you. You created this situation and you can turn it around. Your destiny is in your hands.

Are you ready to:

  • Take responsibility for your actions?
  • Stop beating yourself up?
  • Use this situation to make you a stronger more confident professional?
  • Write your own happy ending to your story, no matter what you did?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are ready to access the powerful SIX steps of ‘Recovering from Damaging Situations.’

Whatever happened, whatever you did, you can let it paralyze you and you can let it hold you back or you can put it to rest and grow forward. Yes, that’s right GROW forward.

Seriously are we going to be sitting at your retirement party with you telling me, “Well I could have gone farther but those drunken photos of me up on MySpace really held me back.” Of course not! If you were THAT person you would not be reading this right now. ‘Recovering from Damaging Situations’ walks you through the steps I use with my private clients all the time. You will receive this information in writing (the ‘Recovering from Damaging Situations’ eBook) and as a recording (the ‘Recovering from Damaging Situations’ coachinar hosted by yours truly.)
