Rejection in the workplace is inevitable and painful. It happens to all of us, yet we often suffer in silence. Rather than being overwhelmed with or paralyzed by sadness, anxiety, and shame, or losing our cool, we can learn from rejection and turn it into new opportunities. To help people cope optimally with rejection, this workshop will provide examples or workplace rejection and detail common emotional responses. Effective strategies for overcoming rejection at work and emerging more resilient will be delineated. The seminar will provide opportunities for participants to ask questions and share techniques they have found helpful for coping with rejection in the workplace.
