Rejection Can SUCK…If You Let It.

Every time we get rejected it hurts a bit.
That’s human.

Actually, rejection is nothing more than redirection.
The key is to stop, take a breath, and ask:
What is that rejection offering me?

A chance to improve a chance to let go of something that was holding me back, a chance to better understand what my counterpart really wants, a chance to move on?

All of the above?

Rejection is actually a valuable lesson to bring us forward, if we choose to see it sa such.

A lot of people choose to dwell on the hurt, the „bad guys who just don’t get it“, or any number of negative feelings.

Don’t be that person. 
Be better than that, and see it for what it really is:
An invitation to redirect and keep going…

Be Your Absolute Best. Turn Rejection Into Redirection.

Here we want to make sure that the new task is important and valuable enough to replace one of your current Top 3 tasks. If so, then one current task has to be re-assigned, delayed or killed. Don’t commit to new tasks until priorities are re-evaluated.   3. Reach common agreement on what = su

The PowerPoint Slide from Hell Wanna Kill Your Audience?  Make Your Slides Complex Almost every time I do a presentation workshop or one-to-one coaching, I am amazed how stressed-out presenting complex and/or very detailed PowerPoint slides make my clients. Actually, I'm not really amazed, because complex and/or very detailed slides would make just about any presenter stressed-out.  What amazes me is how often presenters use PowerPoint in a way that makes it basically impossible to use in an easy, comfortable way--for themselves and the audience. The more stuff you have on your slides, the more difficult and stressful it is to present.   The less stuff on your slide, the easier and less stressful. It's that simple. So, the take-away is:  if you want to lower your presentation stress, make sure your slides are as simple as possible.  Use visually oriented slides and minimal text.   A headline is often enough. Your job as the presenter is to then tell the sto
