How do you get over not anticipating an “obvious” problem before it happened?

<p>Hindsight is 20/20. Monday morning quarterbacking. It’s easy to look in the rear-view mirror and “know” things were going to turn out like they did.</p> <p> </p> <p>I share a story during this conversation about doing something “stupid” and breaking something that was important to me. I was SO angry at myself because I know better.</p> <p> </p> <p>Philip Tate started this conversation by saying you have to give yourself some grace and allow yourself to learn from your mistakes. Later in the conversation he brought up self-compassion.</p> <p> </p> <p>Stewart Wiggins talked about Mike Tyson – you can do lots of planning but once the punches start flying it becomes a problem-solving exercise. It’s not about how you look at it when it happens but how your respond to fix it.</p> <p> </p> <p>Inga Hebdon added that trying to anticipate all possible problems before they happen can be a spiraling rabbit hole that gets you stuck doing nothing.</p> <p> </p> <p>I feel like we danced around this topic more than answered. Grace. Learn from it. But letting go of being angry at yourself? I don’t think we came up with a good answer.</p> <p> </p> <p>How do you let go of a mistake you “should” have seen coming? Or maybe worse, did see coming (like the story I shared) and didn’t stop it?</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists:</p> <p>Inga Hebdon: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/inga-hebdon/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/inga-hebdon/</a></p> <p>Leadership &amp; Personal Impact Coach helping people increase their impact, their ability to lead, influence, and act strategically.</p> <p> </p> <p>Stewart Wiggins: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stewart-wiggins/</p> <p>Induna Advisors – where he offers Fractional Chief Operating Officer services and Brings resources together to help scale your business.</p> <p> </p> <p>Philip Tate: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philiptateaprfellowprsa/</p> <p>He is a communications consultant doing Brand Building | Strategic Communications and Marketing based in Charlotte NC</p> <p> </p> <p>Dr Robyn O
