Why your greatest failures are actually blueprints for reinvention
In short: Success is rarely a linear path; it is often defined by how we navigate the inevitable obstacles in our way. Leadership coach Amy Shoenthal breaks down the mechanics of recovery, showing how to systematically transform setbacks into progress.
Shoenthal introduces the 'setback cycle,' a framework designed to help individuals move past difficult moments rather than becoming paralyzed by them. By understanding these four distinct phases, leaders can identify where they are in the process of recovery.
The goal of this cycle is to move beyond mere resilience toward active reinvention. Instead of viewing a setback as an end point, Shoenthal argues it can be leveraged as a catalyst for progress, providing the necessary friction to spark new growth and strategic shifts.
