Turn work into joy, obstacle into opportunity, and success into an inevitable by-product
The Art of Achieving Ambitious Things™
With your talk, our teams and individuals will have the courage to speak up and “Just Ask”!
Sharing your life experiences during the presentation was funny, enjoyable and eye opening. The more comfortable we are with rejection, the more resilient and empowered we become to experiment and fail.”
-Jane and Coleen, BioTech Industry
What separates good teams from great teams is not a mbition, ideas, and talent.
It’s discipline…
the ability to focus, execute, and take the right actions
And resilience…
the ability to persevere in face of rejection and failure
Most people associate discipline
& resilience with pain.
They only focus on the outcome, and thus suffer through the process, leading to quitting, burnout, and failure.
But when people know how to use pleasure, fun, and creativity to build discipline and resilience, they LOVE the process and their work.
Hi, I am Jia Jiang.
At 16, I came to the US to pursue my American Dream. I didn’t know a single word of English, but I was determined to get an education and become an entrepreneur. Along the way, I began to realize that in order to achieve my goals, I needed to find a way to enjoy the journey towards them.
Since then, I’ve:
- Started a worldwide social movement called #RejectionTherapy (100M views)
- Wrote Rejection Proof, a #1 bestselling book on Audible
- Gave one of the all-time classic TED talks (10.5M views and counting)
- Received the Golden Gavel Award from Toastmaster International for leadership
- Worked with hundreds of organizations to build their resilience
And somehow made
rejection cool.
All these accomplishments are based on a simple formula - turning things you hate, fear, and endure into something you love and seek.
Imagine if your teams were courageous action-takers
who welcomed adversities and delivered exceptional results.
