The Truth Behind LinkedIn's Success Stories
This is just a reminder that... it doesn't always work. 💁♂️
💥 Newsflash : Your LinkedIn feed shows a very biased picture of the professional world. As our brain is wired to look for the spotlight when we're having a success and to protect us from negative feelings when we fail... it's no surprise that we mostly share our victories. Which makes success seem unachievable when you're in a negative spiral. 😖
So to whoever it might help, keep in mind that 👇
→ Behind every success lies a series of failed attempts
→ Every "No" is getting you closer to a "Yes"
→ These failures make you grow
→ It's normal to feel bad or be disappointed when something fails. You can't turn it into a happy story in 10 minutes - resilience and learnings come afterwards.
Good luck to all, whatever you try... and more importantly, keep on trying! ✊😊
PS. Obviously, no hard feelings for the organizing team of Agile Tour Luxembourg. Building a conference schedule out of a huge list of proposals is reaaaaally challenging. Check out their agenda as there are a lot of interested sessions always confirmed 😊

Love this actually! Worth celebrating the milestones, regardless of whether they're wins or not. Getting a rejection means you did all the work of building the concept in the first place. So the win is still there, it's only rephrased ✨

So tru, Erik. Thanks for making LinkedIn more real!
And: Who knows what's good or bad?
