Keynote Topics

For too many of us, the fear of rejection is the #1 obstacle to achieving our goals and dreams. It’s our natural tendency to avoid the risk of rejection, even when it’s detrimental to our businesses, careers, and lives.

Nobody knows this like entrepreneur Jia Jiang. To overcome his own fear of rejection, he conducted an experiment in which he purposely sought it out every day for 100 days. From asking complete strangers for $100 to requesting a “burger refill” at a fast food restaurant, Jia’s experiences (and surprising results) became the basis for one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time (top 200 out of 60,000) and the bestselling book: Rejection Proof. It also transformed Jia Jiang into the world’s foremost authority on rejection.

In this engaging presentation, Jia shares insightful—and often laugh-out-loud—stories from his 100 Days of Rejection. Audiences learn how to become more resilient and make becoming rejection-proof their superpower for success in life. He also explores the basic principles of turning a NO into YES, as well as how to get more YESes. By transforming a keynote speech into a unique and inspiring experience, Jia has earned rave reviews from Fortune 500 audiences and praise from individuals who have thanked him for changing their lives.

Why do we usually fail in achieving our goals? “The bigger the outcome, the bigger the failure rate,” says Jia Jiang. “That’s why New Year’s resolutions usually fail, and why businesses always get too busy to stay focused.” Jia’s proven solution: simplify success by relentlessly focusing on one thing—what he has named the One Action Goal. Drawing from his upcoming book, The One Action Goal: Achieve Big by Doing Only One Thing, and more than a decade of coaching clients to success, Jia provides a playbook for achieving any personal, professional, or organizational goal. Determined to put success within everyone’s reach, Jia shares his One Action Goal System, including:

  • Turning ambitious objectives into your One Action Goal
  • Routinizing your dreams and fail-proofing your environment
  • Using your One Action Plan to accelerate your ideas
  • Developing radical focus on your One Action Goal
  • Overcoming barriers to achievement with a framework for success

Highlighted by Jia’s signature humor and storytelling talent made famous in his “100 Days of Rejection” TED talk and acclaimed book, Rejection Proof, this highly motivational talk outlines a path to success that anyone can achieve. Audiences are electrified by Jia’s passion for empowering their dreams—gaining game-changing tools that they can immediately put into action..

Based on his #1 bestselling book – Rejection Proof, this workshop takes a deep dive into rejection-proof principles to expose attendees to techniques in overcoming fears. The audience will learn to:

  • Understand rejection
  • Turn NO into YES
  • Get more people to say YES
  • Say NO without feeling bad and hurting relationship

They will also go through “Rejection in the Wild” – an unforgettable, real-life rejection-seeking exercise. This workshop is 1-2 hours long.
