Jia Jiang is a globally respected speaker on mental health, wellbeing, and emotional intelligence, renowned for transforming the fear of rejection into a powerful tool for growth. An entrepreneur-turned-educator, Jia’s unique insight stems from personal experience – having faced repeated rejection early in life and throughout his career, he developed a compelling philosophy: fear of rejection should be confronted, not avoided. This radical mindset forms the foundation of his influential talks, which challenge audiences to push past their emotional limitations and open themselves up to greater confidence, opportunity, and fulfilment.
Jia rose to prominence through his viral project 100 Days of Rejection, during which he set out to intentionally experience rejection every day – from asking strangers for money to requesting an interview with former U.S. President Barack Obama. The project captured global attention and became the subject of his acclaimed 2016 TED Talk, “What I Learned From 100 Days of Rejection”, which has inspired over five million viewers worldwide. His witty, courageous approach struck a chord with audiences struggling with self-doubt, and led to the publication of his bestselling book “Rejection Proof”, now considered a must-read in the fields of personal development and emotional intelligence.
Having held roles at Dell and AtTask Inc., and later founding his own companies including Hooplus and Wuju Learning, Jia combined corporate experience with his personal journey to pioneer a new method for building resilience. In 2016, he was appointed CEO of Rejection Therapy – the very concept that first fuelled his transformation – where he continues to grow the brand and its mission to help individuals and organisations become “rejection-proof”. Through his writing, blog, and workshops, Jia empowers professionals to tackle workplace anxiety, enhance communication, and unlock high performance.
Today, Jia Jiang is recognised as a leading voice on the psychology of rejection and its impact on mental wellbeing. His sessions are thought-provoking, humorous, and deeply moving – blending storytelling with science to leave lasting change in individuals and teams. Whether you’re looking to cultivate resilience in your workforce or encourage personal growth, Jia offers an unforgettable experience that turns vulnerability into strength.

“At Health Coach Institute we were fortunate to have Jia join us as a speaker for our virtual Empower Summit. He not only engaged our audience, but moved and inspired them SO much with his talk! Our Facebook group has been flooded with admiration for Jia! We are thrilled to be working with Jia more in the future and know our students will gain so much by hearing more from him.”
“I first had the opportunity to hear Jia at a Selling Power conference in March and found his story to be so powerful that we invited him to our company retreat this summer. Jia’s story speaks to the heart and mind. He has a compelling way of encouraging others to step outside of their comfort zone and think differently to overcome their own fears. His use of humor and humility brings his stories to life. He is simultaneously both relatable and inspirational. For weeks after our session, I received enthusiastic feedback and stories of how our team was applying what they learned. I highly recommend him. “
