>> Career Growth >>

We've got your back! Everybody struggles in their careers and lives! Or, like the song "Everybody Hurts" (D, G, A, Em). If someone you know is struggling, consider this advice to face challenges:

First, could you tell them you're there to listen without judgment? Sometimes, simply talking about struggles can alleviate some of the weight.

Second, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. It's okay to find some subjects challenging. Analytics and quantitative issues, for instance, can be particularly intimidating for many, but it's just one of many skills, and there are multiple ways to approach it.

Third, many tools, like Khan Academy AI Tutor (Try it—incredible) or Coursewell's approaches, are available.

Fourth, breaking tasks into smaller steps can make them more manageable and less overwhelming.

Fifth, doing things you and they enjoy can help elevate their mood and provide a break from academic pressures. Like going for a walk or coffee.

Sixth, physical activity can help alleviate some symptoms of negative thoughts. It doesn't have to be rigorous; even walking outside can help.

Seventh, a balanced diet and proper sleep can play a significant role in managing challenges and obstacles.

Eight, if possible, try to reduce other sources of stress in this life, as these can exacerbate negative feelings and career pressures.

Ninth, encourage them not to compare themselves to others. Everyone has their journey, strengths, and challenges. It's a team effort!

Tenth, recognizing and celebrating small victories is essential.

Finally, remember that your support and understanding can make a difference for them. It's crucial to approach the situation with empathy, patience, and an open heart.
