Fear of Rejection- Get out of your own way

  • Are you resisting pitching yourself for a promotion?
  • Are you waiting for someone else to acknowledge your hard work?

Anticipation of rejection is what is holding you back. 

Things to remember

  • We are not as rational as we think
  • At time we assume we might get rejected and don't ask. Which is wrong. STOP assuming.
  • Don't overestimate the cost of rejection and underestimate the benefits of being successful.
  • We have ability to bounce back post rejection
  • Feeling of regret is worse than rejection. Hence, within amit of organizational culture and professionalism lets ask for it with dignity and justification!
  • Don't take disapproval personally.
  • Procrastination is thief of time
  • Fear of rejection is the key between Success & Failure. 
  • So it is better to ask or convey your feelings for a promotion based on your overall performance. 
  • Atleast we will come to know the truth & also the type of boss we are dealing with.
  • What to do on rejection
    • Upgrade your skill sand showcase them.
  • It is better to ask boldly and be rejected or never ask and you will never know
  • What is the worst that can happen other than bruised ego.
  • Ask with dignity and within boundaries
