How to Deal with Professional Guilt and Shame

If you are human you have likely experienced some regretful experiences at work. Moments in time when you were not being your best professional self. Meetings that you could have led better. Conversations that you could have handled better. Emotionally charged situations that you could have navigated better etc... Depending on your sensitivity, some of these experiences may have been easy to address directly. Some you might have chosen to shake off. Others were stickier still and may have wiped out your productivity for a few hours. The worst experiences though, most of us deny and bury into our subconscious. Especially the ones that make us look bad so we decide we need to hide from the light. The problem with suppressing these emotions is that they come back to bite us in sneaky ways. In the form of avoiding situations or people, in irrational decisions, in unsubstantiated biases - basically ways that can seem subtle but over time erode our leadership. This is why I was so drawn to Brene Brown's work in her book the "Gifts of Imperfection"   / brenebrown   You see in executive coaching I work with my clients to maximize their ability to remain in what my coaching training calls "a resourceful mindset". Which basically means they are able to maintain a "positive, can do" attitude in the face of obstacles. When leaders are in a resourceful mindset they are unstoppable in achieving their goals. They have access to their creativity, a high degree of motivation and collaborative tendencies. I work with my clients to master the ability to remain resourceful no matter what environment or other's triggers in them. What clicked for me is that guilt and shame are often at the root of an un-resourceful mindset, thus impacting our ability to perform at our best at work. Brene Brown's work describes 3 critical elements: 1) Clear differentiation between guilt and shame 2) Effective treatment for both 3) Compelling case for timely action Today's video self-coaching tip covers how to tell the difference between guilt and shame, and how to treat it. Have a watch and try it on a specific situation where you feel un-resourceful or disappointed in an outcome or behaviour. Once you learn how to deal with your professional work and shame quickly and effectively - you can get back to being unstoppable.
