It has been almost a week since Mariah Carey’s New Year’s Eve disaster, but people are still talking about the diva’s lip synch fail. While the blame game goes on between Dick Clark Productions and the singer's team, Carey is staying cool as a cucumber and appears to be over the whole thing.

Despite the failed performance, many celebrity watchers have predicted that Mariah Carey’s reputation will stay intact, as the “Heartbreaker” singer has time and again proven that her career is bullet-proof and that she has more years of performing ahead of her. Even her ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, believes that she will rise above this, telling Page Six that Carey is “a global icon and a treasure with incredible talent.”

As the mother-of-two is looking forward to her tour with Lionel Richie and making more headlines in 2017, office workers can learn a few things from the diva about how to handle a work crisis. Here are a few takeaways from Carey’s failed New Year’s Eve performance.

When the going gets tough, keep on going

The second she knew that her earpiece wasn’t working, Mariah Carey could have gone the diva route and walked out of the New Year’s show. Instead, the singer tried to make the best of the situation by vamping, adlibbing, interacting with her fans, and going through the choreography for her number.

Office workers may encounter the same problem while making an important presentation to the boss or to a client. There’s always a chance that something will go wrong—the laptop or projector won’t work, an important file could get lost, or one could fail to provide an answer to an important question.

When faced with such a problem, do it the Mariah Carey way and wing it—talk to the client or boss while fixing the technical problem, or think of a way to recover the lost file. If you don’t have an idea how to answer a particular question, stall for time by saying that you’ll get back to him or her with the answer—you just need to verify a few things beforehand. The important thing is to keep your cool and to keep going. As they say in show business, the show must go on.

Shake it off

Right after her performance, Carey took to Twitter to shrug it off by saying, “Sh*t happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017.”

Instead of dwelling on your mistakes, shake it off and plan to do better or be more prepared next time. Talking about it incessantly will only serve to highlight everything you did that went wrong. You can apologize or acknowledge your mistake, but after that, it’s time to move on.

Remind people why you rock

After attempting to sing her hit song “Emotions” and failing to do so due to the fact that she couldn’t hear her backing track, Carey addressed the crowd and said, “Well. We can’t hear but…It went to number one and that’s what it is.”

Don’t let one mistake dictate how your career will go for the entire year. Remind yourself—and the people around you—all the good things that you contributed to the team, but do it in a subtle way. Also, make it plain that you’re over your mistake and that you’re working on new and exciting projects for the next few months.
