How To Recover From Rejection And Build Strong Resilience
Welcome to my book about how to recover from rejection and build strong resilience throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.
WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.
Rejection Recovery Resilience
The world has always been a challenging place, and perhaps now more than ever, as people try to cope with fast paced and unpredictable change. Times of uncertainty bring about difficult times, and oftentimes limited resources, leading to rejections.
Resilience is the quality that will help you survive. Building your resilience involves developing and maintaining habits of thinking and doing that help you not just survive in difficult times, but to come through the adversity knowing yourself better, and being wiser and more focussed on what is most important to you.
This gives you the ability to recover, to bounce back from tough times and to display tenacity.
In this book I tell five stories:
1. It Took Ten Years to Receive the Critics' Award for Most Promising Newcomer: Denise's story of how having taken ten years to be recognised for her talent, she had a further year without work before she and her work were fully appreciated.
2. "Actors Don't Take Criticism Very Well Do They" and Sir Anthony Sher's Story–"Don't Give Up Your Day Job": Carmel's story of how the whole world are critics when it comes to actors.
3. Rejected for His Height: Vince Vaughan's story of how he was rejected for his height, and how he had to find a way of using it, so he wouldn't be defined by it.
4. Feedback–the Good, theBad and the Downright Ugly: Scott Budnick and Sir Anthony Sher's stories of how feedback can knock you down or build you up. How it has the power to recon- struct or destroy your WorkLife at different stages.
5. Build It and They Will Come, Do a Great Job Building It and They'll Stand in Line to Get In: Marco's story of how he used an experience of being rejected to move forward in his WorkLife, to create a new business success story.
I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:
Watch the Watcher Assignment
This assignment is to help you to develop your power of observation to be attuned to what is going on in the moment, to allow you to react accordingly.
Develop a Practice of Continuous Self-Feedback Assignment
This assignment is to help you to reframe negative feedback you give yourself, by accepting the reality of the truth, and using this to move forward.
Develop a Practice of Insightful Self-Questioning Assignment
This assignment is to help you to learn from rejection, and to work to understand what you can do differently next time.
Can You Improve? Assignment
This assignment is to help you to consider if you can or cannot improve your offering.
Making Decisions in the Best Possible Way Assignment
This assignment is to help you to adopt a three-step approach to making the best decisions.
