Dealing with Rejection and Criticism

We’ve all been there: maybe we’ve been rejected for a dream career. Maybe we suffered a bad breakup. Maybe someone has pulled us aside to tell us exactly what we’ve been doing wrong. It’s not a good feeling to know we’re not wanted, or our work isn’t good enough, or we need to change, but it’s a feeling nearly everyone feels eventually. So what are the best ways to deal with rejection and criticism? How can we make rejection work for us rather than against us? Here to discuss the research on this topic is Jeanette Bennett.
