b"This is a story of rejection\\u2026 my rejection. By Adam Grant. But it\\u2019s probably not the story you think it is.\\nLet me start by sharing, I am a BIG fan of Adam Grant. I\\u2019ve read his books (#1 NY Times bestseller \\u201cThink Again, most recently), listen to his podcast \\u201cWorkLife\\u201d, and follow him religiously on social media (@adamgrant on IG). And getting rejected by him made me an even bigger fan of him and his work.\\nBecause he reminded me that rejection can be a gift, a lesson, an opportunity and a blessing\\u2026 and you don\\u2019t need to be an a-hole about it.\\nListen in to hear my story of rejection...\\nLet me also add a loving reminder that our heartbreaks, unanswered prayers, \\u201cnos\\u201d, and even ghosting are often the universe's way of redirecting us towards something or someone else. That rejection is part of success, and the more \\u201cnos\\u201d you collect, the more \\u201cyeses\\u201d that will come along with them.\\nWhat we really need to be doing is getting rejected more often, by bigger and better people.\\nThis is Woman\\u2019s Work.\\nTo learn more about what we are up to outside of this podcast, visit us at NicoleKalil.com"
