Rejection is inevitable – feeling bad about it is not!
Even though it’s par for the course, one of the hardest things to handle for any creative freelance is rejection. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself that it’s not personal, it can feel personal.
This session will give you useful strategies and tips to help you transform the experience of rejection into something that helps and supports your career instead of being one of its greatest hazards! It will give you the opportunity to network with like-minded creative freelances and share each other’s experiences too.
