7-Day Rejection Practice

Make small, reasonable asks until “no” loses some of its weight.

By the end: Seven asks made. Most people find the answers are kinder than they predicted.

Helps most with: fear of rejection.

Starting a program adds it to your Action Plans. No credits needed.

    Ask a small favour

    Ask a colleague or classmate for a quick opinion on something you're working on.

    Ask a question in public

    In a class, meeting or online thread.

    A reasonable discount, a later deadline, a swap — something with a real chance of no.

    Send a cold message

    To someone you'd like to learn from, with one specific question.

    “What's one thing I could do better?” — and just listen.

    About 10 min
