My toughest challenge in my work experience is that I was asked to handle a new technical domain part of my project. Although I was trained in the technology, it was quiet challenging to understand the requirements and confirm on the efforts its going to take. However, my manager was a nice person, he stood with me in initial days and give me extra days to sort things out. After few tasks I was rather becoming a expert and was able to help many who joined with me.
I feel Challenges make us strong and sound in technical skills.

My toughest challenge was in 1st year of BE. I had to give a seminar in front of 5 to 6 hundred people in college annual function. Starting I was little bit of nervous but later on I finished it on a high note.

Well, I would say that my toughest challenge was since I was appearing for the interview of the office manager's post. And that was my first interview. And, that time I had no idea that what they gonna ask. But somehow I managed and gave my best. The whole time I was confident. And confidently I was giving an answer. It doesn't matter what I was saying. I just said what comes in mind. And at last, I got selected.

Toughest challenge was to never take success to my head and failure for my heart.

My Biggest Challenge was waking up in 1990 in hospital at 30 with no memory of life before waking up in a hospital. Knowing I had brain damage and spinal injuries.
Been told 98% chance of never working again, never holding anything.
Now I've been South Pacific Manger for multiple companies, owned my own business. Run an online business and soon public speaking about the motivation to prove nothing is impossible.

The toughest challenge I've ever faced is the ongoing challenge of coping with the strong and diverse personalities of family, friends and work colleagues, while encouraging them to be the best they can be, while achieving goals; keeping peace; maintaining a sense of humour and not losing sight of who you are and your dreams and aspirations.

The toughest challenge that I faced in my career, was the customer who was so angry as the product didn't reach him on the time and date that was promised to him. He called up the office and I was the one who answered the call. As I said "Hello" he started yelling at me. Why? the product is not delivered to me as promised by your office I have been waiting for the product since morning, when I called 2 hours back they said in another 3 hours we will deliver it.
1st I listen calmly to the customer and listen carefully to what exactly he wants. Now when my turn came to talk at 1st I apologised to him for not been able to live up to his exceptions and tried to empathy with him and assured him that by the end of the day the product will be delivered to him. After completing the call I sat with my team I asked them what was the reason for not delivering it. They said the catalogue which was to be sent is not ready I sat with them and got the catalogue done. After that, I personally took the catalogue for the delivery and handed over to the client.
When I reached the client's place at first he was annoyed then after looking at the catalogue he was happy, to make him feel better I told him on next catalogue we are going to work on some discount for him.

The toughest time of my life was when I had to leave my home after class 10 for higher study. I was living in a rented room. It was very difficult time for me. I cried daily for a month. Then I realised that crying is never going to help me with this situation, the only thing which can help me is accepting what it is as there was no alternative and focus on Why am I here.
