Video: Rebuilding Confidence After Setbacks in Work or Job Search

Disappointment in your career can take many forms—whether it’s coming in second for a job, feeling ignored by your network, or being devalued in your current role. In this New Year message, Karen from Cultivating Careers shares a grounded perspective on how to move forward when you feel discouraged. By recognizing the internal narratives that shape your experience—especially the “shoulds” that fuel frustration—you can begin to rebuild confidence, realign with your value, and trust that better possibilities lie ahead.

Note: These videos were originally started during COVID and shared exclusively with the Cultivating Careers community—past and present clients—as a way to share timely insights and stay connected during times of uncertainty and change. Now, we’re sharing them more broadly, as many of the topics remain just as relevant today.
