What I Learned from 100 Days of Rejection (TED)

Rejection Proof (PRMG Keynote speech)

Keynote Topics

For many of us, the fear of rejection is the number one obstacle to achieving our goals and dreams. We naturally tend to avoid the risk of rejection, even when it negatively impacts our businesses, careers, and lives. No one understands this better than entrepreneur Jia Jiang. To conquer his own fear of rejection, Jia conducted an experiment where he deliberately sought out rejection every day for 100 days. From asking strangers for $100 to requesting a “burger refill” at a fast food restaurant, his experiences and their surprising results became the foundation for one of the most-watched TED Talks (ranking in the top 200 out of 60,000) and the bestselling book “Rejection Proof.”

This journey transformed Jia Jiang into the world’s leading authority on rejection. In his engaging presentations, Jia shares insightful—and often laugh-out-loud—stories from his 100 Days of Rejection. Audiences learn how to become more resilient and make rejection-proofing their superpower for success in life. He also delves into the fundamental principles of turning a NO into a YES and how to achieve more YESes. By turning his keynote speeches into unique and inspiring experiences, Jia has garnered rave reviews from Fortune 500 audiences and heartfelt praise from individuals who credit him with changing their lives.

Why do we often fail to achieve our goals? According to Jia Jiang, “The bigger the outcome, the bigger the failure rate.” This explains why New Year’s resolutions often fail and why businesses lose focus. Jia’s solution: simplify success by focusing on one thing—the One Action Goal.

In his upcoming book, The One Action Goal: Achieve Big by Doing Only One Thing, and through his decade of coaching, Jia offers a playbook for achieving any goal. His One Action Goal System includes: Turning ambitious objectives into your One Action Goal Routinizing your dreams and creating a fail-proof environment Using your One Action Plan to accelerate your ideas Developing radical focus on your One Action Goal Overcoming barriers with a success framework Highlighted by Jia’s humor and storytelling talent from his “100 Days of Rejection” TED talk and book Rejection Proof, this motivational talk provides a clear path to success. Audiences are inspired by Jia’s passion and gain actionable tools to empower their dreams immediately.

Jia had one of the largest audiences we can get at our Google Author talks. He was so successful that he returned a year later. Jia helps others shift how they think about rejection, so they can be more resilient in the world and go after new challenges and adventures both personally and professionally. More people need to listen to Jia so they can also see that they have the power to face their fears and do anything they want.

I had the great honor of being in the stadium in 1996 when the torch relay took place and have fond memories of the torch being handed by Janet to Muhammad Ali. Little did I know that amazing woman would come back later in life to inspire me with her version of the event. Thank you for your diligent efforts to bring Janet’s story to us.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
