Personal question · Resilience, Empathy
After it fell apart
Our own disappointments often shape how we show up for other people's. Think about something you worked hard for that fell apart, and about a later time when a friend or someone close to you faced a disappointment of their own.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you kept going after something you had worked hard for fell apart. What helped you continue?
- 2Describe a moment when you later supported someone close to you through a disappointment, and comforting them and being honest with them pulled in different directions. What did you do?

- Resilience
- Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
