Reframing: how to deal with setbacks
A workshop on how to reframe problems and setbacks on the workfloor, to be able to see opportunities instead of obstacles.
More detailed information
When do we perceive something as a problem or setback?
When the facts as they unfold do not align with our expectations.
When our usual solution-oriented approach fails because there is no (known) solution.
This often leads to frustration. It is an illusion to think that life can be controlled. Sometimes, a problem cannot simply be solved. Sometimes, it is what it is, and we must learn to see it differently.
That is the essence of reframing: fully accepting the facts and changing our perspective.
Instead of trying to control the circumstances, we explore what this situation can offer us—what we can make of it. This way, we often discover new possibilities.
Teams that master this are more flexible and better prepared for an increasingly unpredictable world. They have a growth mindset: they see opportunities instead of obstacles.
As a result, they experience that they are not victims of setbacks, but that there is always a way forward, even if it is different from what they had expected. And this experience also contributes to a sustainable positive mindset.
