"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing, and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens from time to time. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to debrief with my manager and discuss what I could have done differently. Then, I move on!"

Karrie Day

"I allow myself a moment to be frustrated when a setback occurs, but never publicly. I may go for a quick walk on my lunch break, for instance. When a setback occurs, I prefer to take from the experience rather than have it take energy away from me."

Karrie Day

"I typically view setbacks as challenges and opportunities. If I feel frustrated, I allow a bit of time for that, but I quickly focus on how to move forward. Likewise, I look for opportunities to improve and avoid similar setbacks in the future."
