What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next opportunity is the decision to reject yourself before anyone else can?
Leadership expert and bestselling author Selena Rezvani joins Kwame Christian to explore what it really takes to advocate for yourself, take bigger swings, and keep moving when fear, perfectionism, or self-doubt tells you to play it safe. Selena shares the bold ask that changed the course of her college years, the career rejection she turned into an unexpected opportunity, and why high achievers need to stop tying their worth to their accomplishments. They also unpack the power of a “win or learn” mindset, giving yourself permission to be a beginner, leading with vulnerability, building psychological safety, handling criticism, and showing up as your authentic self.
If you’ve been waiting until you feel confident, qualified, or completely ready to make your move, this conversation is your reminder: take the shot anyway.
