Disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations or hopes to manifest. I summarize it for coaching clients as the gap between our expectations and reality.
Losing a deal, a job being terminated, losing an election, a failed business or project. This list stirs up some serious emotions, specifically disappointment. We’ve all experienced it in various shapes and sizes. While disappointment is hard enough when times are good, our current pandemic environment has many of our emotions close to the surface, exacerbating these feelings. So, how do we handle disappointment the right way?
