Scaling Up Business with Bill Gallagher Dealing with Rejection
How do you react when you hear “no”? People usually view no as a setback, take it personally, and get triggered or angry.
But if you can learn to be loose and playful with every no you hear, you will find that you aren’t so deeply affected by it. When you approach no with curiosity, you might find that you can turn it into a “yes” in the future.
Great leaders know how to be playful with a no. Whether they’re trying to hire someone, supply something, or pitch an idea, leaning into possibilities with curiosity and playfulness can get the answer they’re looking for. If not now or with this situation, then in the right situation and in the very near future.
