Tickets are available starting Monday, March 6, for the next event in Youngstown State University’s Skeggs Lecture Series, featuring Jia Jiang, owner of Rejection Therapy, a website that provides inspiration, knowledge and products for people to overcome their fear of rejection and CEO of Wuju Learning, a company that teaches people and trains organizations to become fearless through rejection training.

In 2015, he authored a bestselling book, "Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection."

Several years after Jiang began his career in the corporate world, he took a life-altering risk and stepped into the unknown world of entrepreneurship. His result was everyone’s biggest fear: rejection. This was the catalyst that set Jiang on the path to his true calling.

To conquer the fear of rejection, Jiang embarked on a personal quest and started a blog, 100 Days of Rejection Therapy. His journey revealed a world that was hidden in plain sight -- a world where people are much kinder than we imagine. He discovered that rejection can be much less painful than we believe and that the fear of rejection is much more destructive than we know.

Jiang grew up in Beijing, China and migrated to the United States at age 16. He holds a Bachelor of Computer Science from Brigham Young University and a Master of Business Administration from Duke University.

The lecture is free, but tickets are required. Tickets are available online at stambaughauditorium.com or at the Stambaugh Auditorium Box Office, 1000 Fifth Avenue, in Youngstown. For more information, call 330-941-2136 or email jmleviseur@ysu.edu.
