Webinar Carrières * Become Rejection Proof : Proven Tactics to build resilience to negative responses and “crickets” when networking or job hunting

No matter how well we prepare our pitches and presentations, we can’t control how others react to our approaches. In that context, facing rejection is inevitable.

For many, rejection can be painful and paralysing. As we face it, many questions can haunt us: “Why don’t I get any response? Why am I being ignored? Is there something wrong with my approach, with my message, with me?”

In such situations, pursuing opportunities can be a daunting task since questions like these can erode our self-confidence and self-esteem. The key to success in any job search or networking process is to break out of the spiral of negativity and self-doubt and take action.

How so? By shifting the way we perceive rejection.

This event is designed to help you become rejection-proof. Throughout the session, you'll learn how to manage uncomfortable emotions that arise in the face of rejection and use it to advance your career.
