Jia Jiang Speaking Fee: $10,000 to $20,000

The fear of rejection can hold you back. Our natural tendency is to avoid it at all costs which can be detrimental to our businesses, careers, and lives. In 2012, to overcome his own fear of rejection, entrepreneur Jia Jiang started an experiment to be rejected every day for 100 days. The result became the basis of his 3 viewed TED talk of 2017 and bestselling book: Rejection Proof. In this engaging presentation, Jia shares stories from his rejection experiment to teach you the importance of becoming rejection-proof, the basic principles of turning a NO into YES, as well as how to get more YESes.

Why do we usually fail in achieving our goals? “The bigger the outcome, the bigger the failure rate,” says Jia Jiang. “That’s why New Year’s resolutions usually fail, and why businesses always get too busy to stay focused.” Jia’s proven solution: simplify success by relentlessly focusing on one thing—what he has named the One Action Goal. Drawing from his upcoming book, The One Action Goal: Achieve Big by Doing Only One Thing, and more than a decade of coaching clients to success, Jia provides a playbook for achieving any personal, professional, or organizational goal. Determined to put success within everyone’s reach, Jia shares his One Action Goal System, including: - Turning ambitious objectives into your One Action Goal - Routinizing your dreams and fail-proofing your environment - Using your One Action Plan to accelerate your ideas - Developing radical focus on your One Action Goal - Overcoming barriers to achievement with a framework for success Highlighted by Jia’s signature humor and storytelling talent made famous in his “100 Days of Rejection” TED talk and acclaimed book, Rejection Proof, this highly motivational talk outlines a path to success that anyone can achieve. Audiences are electrified by Jia’s passion for empowering their dreams—gaining game-changing tools that they can immediately put into action.

Based on race, gender, education, and cultural background, society has put us into different boxes and tagged us with stereotypes and expectations. Equally damaging, however, are the ways we also conform to these boxes in unconscious ways. As an Asian American who has broken multiple boxes, Jia takes on the DE&I topic with a unique two-way approach for both organizations and individuals. For organization leaders, Jia helps them to understand and actively install a fearless box-breaking culture. And for employees, Jia challenges them to seek opportunities to influence beyond their box.
