WHAT LENS ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOUR CAREER THROUGH?

Two women go for the same job in music.

Both are experienced and talented, both make it to the final round of interviews.

Both receive the same email: “We’ve gone with another candidate.”

One thinks: “I’m not good enough. Maybe I’ll never break through, so I'll stop putting myself forward.”

The other thinks: “I got that far because I’m ready for bigger opportunities. This job just wasn't the right fit. The right opportunity is out there for me.”

Same email, but two totally different perspectives.

In this industry, rejection is part of the gig; whether it’s a leadership role, a high-profile project, or a promotion. What matters most is the perspective you take, because that shapes what you do next.

Here’s a simple framework I share with clients:

A. The event – what actually happened.
B. Your perspective – the lens you see it through.
C. Your reaction – the action you take as a result.

As an executive coach for women in music, I help my clients pause, reframe, and see events through different lenses. Because the event doesn’t define you - your perspective does.

Next time something happens at work, notice the lens you’re looking through.

If this resonates, DM me or book a complimentary exploration session. Let’s talk about the perspective you’re bringing to your career.
