Jian Jian on rejection at the World Domination SummitRejection. No one likes it – let alone actively seeks to get rejected on a daily basis unless you're one man, Jia Jiang. His love affair with rejection rocked my world when I heard him speak at the World Domination Summit. His talk fundamentally changed me, and that is what speaking is all about. Having a message that inspires the audience and changes the world!

I was beyond thrilled when he stopped by blog post about the World Domination Summit and left a comment. I was even more excited when he said YES to sitting down with me to chat about all things public speaking.

There is something for everyone in this Google Hangout whether you are starting out as a speaker or  you're turning pro. Jia and I chatted about:

  • The #1 thing you need to be a speaker
  • How to handle your nerves before walking on stage
  • The BEST way to land speaking gigs (including a TEDx Talk)
  • How to pick stories that engage your audience
  • And so much more….

It was an incredible experience to hang out with Jia – I learned so much about speaking, fear and rejection from him.
