Communicators who center their core message rather than audience reaction build resilience to rejection and find their audience
How can storytellers, from actors to brand narrators, navigate the inevitable challenges of rejection and disappointment?
Actor and Speaker Greg Bryk emphasizes the importance of concentrating on the essence of one's message rather than the immediate reaction it receives.
If you believe in the value of what you have to say and you focus on that message as opposed to the response of the other person, it gives you the strength to persevere, to keep carrying on.
