Ep063 ADHD Series: Rejection Sensitivity and Sales

In today’s episode of the ADHD series, I share openly how I handle rejection sensitivity and making sales.

It can be much harder for people with ADHD to put themselves out there knowing they will hear no, or “not right now” as it’s believed that for people who experience RSD, their brains can't regulate rejection based emotions and behaviours, which then makes them more intense for you. And yes, even when you know it’s nothing to do with you at all.

As an example, if I've shared something really vulnerable or that feels vulnerable to me on social media or in an email or conversation I’ve had, I can want to run away and hide. And I’ve learnt how to give myself permission to put myself comfortably outside of my comfort zone and how to reset and regulate my nervous system.

I am sharing insight and strategies that have helped me and hundreds of my clients to manage and navigate rejection sensitivity in business with ADHD so you can make more sales by understanding how neurodiversity impacts the way you work. 

I must emphasise that there is a huge need for individualised approaches and strategies, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
