Use Problem-Solving to Overcome Challenges
By Janeane Hernandez, Master Resilience Trainer – Performance Expert
After weeks of grueling tests and setbacks, a Soldier in Ranger School is on the verge of quitting, convinced that he’s not cut out for the challenge. But he doesn’t realize that every small victory—the times he perseveres through pain or mistakes—proves he has what it takes to succeed. If only he could see beyond his setbacks. Have you ever experienced a problem like this? We often focus on what we think is the problem, using selective information or experiences to support our beliefs, without considering the whole picture and other contributing factors.
