How Do I Recover from a Big Mistake at Work? | S1E4 | New Here 15 Nov 2023 --- How Do I Recover from a Big Mistake at Work? So, you messed up at work. How do you move forward? This week we’re talking about how to handle your first big mistake in a new job. We’ll learn how to own what happened, regain trust, and move forward. For radio journalist Priska Neely, making a mistake in a news report or broadcast can be a very public experience. She leads a team of reporters at NPR’s Gulf States Newsroom, and it’s her job to guide her team through all of their mistakes – big and small. Priska helps host Elainy Mata understand why mistakes happen at work – and offers her perspective as a manager on what your boss might be thinking when it happens. Plus, she takes listener questions about workplace blunders. Have a career question? Let us know at [email protected]. Key topics include: managing up, communication, difficult conversations, credibility, careers. More Reading: • So, You Dropped the Ball. How Do You Get Your Credibility Back?
