Shake It Off! Let's talk Rejection
In this episode Nicolette, Monica, and Marquis discuss the ever present and seemingly constant occurrence of rejection. This topic is a good follow-up to our last episode regarding failure.
Key points:
- Rejection comes in many forms and is perceived differently by everyone.
- As coaches, we see and experience rejection on a regular basis, but we have learned how to use the rejection or reframe the situation to a positive or learning point.
- Whether we’re talking about family, friends, or business we will all fall victim to rejection. Not only will we experience it once, but the fact is, it will be many times throughout our lives. Rejection is not a one-time thing.
- Rejection is not the end all for anyone…or at least it shouldn’t be…It is important to realize that we can face rejection and come out the other side in one piece.
- It is also important to recognize the rejection when it happens and to give yourself some time to cope with it. Just don’t give yourself too much time because that will have lasting effects. Like Sean Whalen said, “It’s okay to sit in your own Sh*t for a little while, but eventually you have to get up and wipe!”
- If we can change our view of rejection, we can turn it into a tool for growth. The salesmen who hears 100 no’s learns a better pitch. The entrepreneur who doesn’t nab that investor learns they weren’t a right fit anyway. The parent who can’t seem to wrangle in their toddler understands that toddlers are like little honey badgers a learns a new way to deal with them…The list goes on. The point is, our rejection may be our saving grace at the end of the day and if we look at it as anything other than a learning experience we are doomed to live a life of negativity…and continued “perceived” rejection.
The three of us are here to help and love doing what we do. For those listeners/followers who want to contact us please feel free to email us at [email protected]. We are here to answer questions and provide some insight on any issues or topics you may have. If for some reason we don’t have an answer, we definitely know someone who does and will reach out to them and invite them to the show.
