Careers come across bumps (small or big) every day and at every level. When this happens it is not easy (to put it simply): there are no words that can describe how tough it can be. This is why it is important to remain calm, focused and determined. These few slides are intended to hopefully motivate, create some awareness and offer appreciation.

1. OVER AGAIN
with resilience and determination
STARTING THE CAREER

2. Only if you’ve been there you know
what it feels like to experience a
major career bump.
Perhaps the following sounds familiar…

3. Your confidence is tested

4. So is your strength

5. You stop going out
Thanks, but I can’t
tonight. Not feeling that well. You
guys have fun…

6. You prefer to be alone

7. Your thoughts
keep wandering the past

8. You know you’ve got to move on
(easier said …)

9. ‘Cause the clock
can’t be turned back

10. You don’t treat yourself
as well as you used to

11. You even change your diet
(not necessarily a bad thing)

12. No more fine dining
and good wine

13. Your golf clubs gather dust
in a corner

14. And you get help
from your family

15. You humble up

16. But then you
rediscover your
energy and strength

17. You regroup and reach out

18. You press on

19. You keep trying

20. You know your worth

21. Your skills and experience

22. Your (intact) qualities and ethics

23. You know you’re gonna
make it back

24. So, if you’ve hit that career wall
and have seen better days

25. Just hang in there

26. Be determined and
self-motivated
Come On!

27. It’s not easy,
but you can do it

28. Even the most successful people
have gone through cloudy days

29. Just hang in there,
you’ve got to
“Sometimes life hits
you in the head
with a brick. Don’t
loose faith.”
Steve Jobs

30. Don’t give up

31. Things will work out in the end

32. There’s a brighter future ahead

33. Believe it

34. And win.
