The Gift of Rejection: Insights from Overcoming Adversity Speaker Jia Jiang
Have you ever felt crushed by a rejection? Whether in a personal relationship or professional setting, rejection stings. Jia Jiang learned to see it as a gift that teaches resilience and sparks new opportunities.
Jia had encountered rejection countless times in his personal and professional life. Determined to overcome his fear, he launched a bold experiment: seeking out rejection for 100 days.
From asking strangers for $100 to requesting a “burger refill” at a fast food restaurant, each “no” became a lesson in resilience, courage, and creativity. He called this 100-day experiment Rejection Therapy, which inspired his bestselling book Rejection Proof, one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time, and earned him viral attention on TikTok and social media.
As an overcoming adversity keynote speaker, Jia teaches audiences how to turn no into yes, embrace risk, and build confidence in both personal and professional life. His talks blend unforgettable stories with practical strategies that spark meaningful change.
Audiences consistently praise Jia for helping people face challenges head-on and transform setbacks into opportunities.
