In der Personalberatung stehen Sie vor Rückschlägen. Wie überwindet man das Scheitern mit Erfahrung?

There is a rule for learning i.e 70:20:10 70% Learning comes from experience 20% from doing things 10% from knowledge So it is important to do things and fail. Failure does not mean setback instead it is an experience and even you are learning what not to repeat. So take notes of failure, make strategy, seek feedback, and keep learning & growing.

Embracing learning is essential in HR consulting, especially when setbacks arise. Continuously seeking knowledge allows you to adapt, grow, and find new solutions when things don’t go as planned. After facing a challenging client situation, I’ve enrolled in a specialized course that will deepen my expertise, enabling me to approach future problems with fresh insights. This commitment to learning can turn the setback into a valuable experience. By staying curious and open to new ideas, you build resilience and equip yourself to navigate future challenges successfully.

It is a fact that success always starts with failure. If you take a closer look at some of the most successful people who have ever lived, you will find that they all failed many times. Some of these people have had massive failures in life. But all of them were able to change everything. Like alchemists, they had turned failure into success. How did they do it? They discovered the reasons for failure and learned important lessons from it and changed the way they think about failure.

To learn is to make sure you never make the same mistake again. I remember at the beginning of my time as an HR Generalist, I was worried about saying the wrong thing when delivering hard feedback or letting an employee go. I definitely made some mistakes along the way, like over-explaining and allowing too much of my emotion to show through (making things worse for both parties). I embraced learning through every experience as a way of coping and staying true to my mission of making the workplace a better place. I asked for feedback from superiors, read a lot, and prepared for meetings thoroughly. It was my way of facing setbacks in a proactive way.

Overcoming setbacks in HR consulting involves using your experience to learn and adapt. Here’s how you can navigate and turn failures into opportunities for growth: 1. Analyze the Setback Identify the Cause: Carefully assess what went wrong. Look into factors like miscommunication, unrealistic expectations, or inadequate resources. Understanding the root cause is essential for addressing it effectively. Gather Feedback: Seek input from clients, team members, or stakeholders to get a broader perspective on what contributed to the failure.

In my experience seeking feedback is crucial in consulting, as it turns challenges into learning opportunities. By actively asking for input, you gain new perspectives and insights that help identify the root causes of failure. This process not only enhances your understanding but also guides you in refining strategies and improving future outcomes. Embracing feedback fosters growth, resilience, and the ability to adapt, ultimately turning setbacks into stepping stones for success in your consulting practice.

When we face failure, we first see all the negative aspects of what we are dealing with. We fully monitor the benefits of failure. Yes, profit broke. Every failure provides an opportunity to become stronger. Failure creates a chance to come back stronger, wiser and smarter. But we must actively use this opportunity. If we don't, failure will destroy us. In almost all cases, success is not the result of doing things the first time. Instead, it gradually becomes clear how this is not done. Success is the result of the mental strength to stick with what we are doing right, until we get it right.

Constant innovation is vital in HR consulting to stay ahead, especially when faced with setbacks. By continuously exploring new ideas and approaches, you can pivot quickly and find creative solutions to challenges. This mindset turns obstacles into opportunities for growth. In my own experience, when a traditional strategy failed to engage a client, I introduced an AI-driven approach that not only resolved the issue but also elevated our service offering. Innovating regularly keeps your consulting practice dynamic and resilient, ready to overcome any setback.

Effective networking is key in HR consulting, especially when setbacks occur. Building and maintaining strong connections provides access to diverse insights, advice, and potential solutions from others who have faced similar challenges. When I faced a difficult project, reaching out to my network led to a valuable referral that helped turn the situation around. Networking not only offers support but also opens doors to new opportunities, helping you overcome obstacles and succeed in your consulting practice.
