Keynote Speaker: Owner of Rejection Therapy, Bestselling Author, CEO of Wuju Learning

Jia Jiang Biography

Jia Jiang is the owner of Rejection Therapy, a website that provides inspiration, knowledge, and products for people to overcome their fear of rejection. He also teaches people and trains organizations to become fearless through rejection training. In 2015, he authored the Amazon bestselling book, "Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection" and delivered one of the most viewed TED Talks of 2017 titled "What I Learned from 100 Days of Rejection."

Several years after Jiang began his career in the corporate world working at companies like Dell Technologies and LinkedIn, he took a life-altering risk and stepped into the unknown world of entrepreneurship. His result was everyone’s biggest fear: rejection. This was the catalyst that set Jiang on the path to his true calling.

To conquer the fear of rejection, Jiang embarked on a personal quest and started a blog, 100 Days of Rejection Therapy. His journey revealed a world that was hidden in plain sight — a world where people are much kinder than we imagine. He discovered that rejection can be much less painful than we believe and that the fear of rejection is much more destructive than we know. His experiences led him to further explore this theme in his upcoming book, "The Art of Achieving Ambitious Things," set to be published by Simon & Schuster in May 2026.

Jiang grew up in Beijing, China, and migrated to the United States at age 16. He holds a Bachelor of Computer Science from Brigham Young University and a Master of Business Administration from Duke University. Beyond his writing and speaking, Jiang serves as the CEO of Wuju Learning, a company that provides training on becoming fearless through rejection training, and he recently became a Board Member of LifeHikes®, a global professional development company. His innovative approaches to personal development and resilience continue to influence audiences worldwide.

Jia Jiang Speaking Topics

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION - REACH BEYOND YOUR BOX

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.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM 100 DAYS OF REJECTION

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.
