General Challenge Guidance
-
Be Kind in Your Requests
Frame your asks with kindness and consideration. A gentle request makes it easier for others to respond openly, whether it’s a yes or no. -
Respect the Autonomy of Others
A "no" is a complete sentence! If someone declines, honor their decision and thank them for their honesty. -
Embrace the Power of Positivity
Treat each rejection as a step forward. Every “no” is a valuable learning experience, not a personal failure. -
Stay Brave and Adventurous
Step outside your comfort zone! The more daring (but still respectful) the ask, the more you’ll grow from the experience. -
Be Confident in Yourself
Rejections don’t define your worth. Walk away with your head high and a smile on your face—confidence is magnetic! -
Keep it Lighthearted and Fun
See this as a playful challenge, not a stressful ordeal. Humor and levity can turn even a “no” into a memorable moment. -
Learn and Adapt
Use every interaction as a chance to understand what works and what doesn’t. Over time, you’ll sharpen your communication skills. -
Don’t Overstep Boundaries
If someone seems uncomfortable, back off gracefully. This is about growth, not pressure or persistence. -
Be Open to Surprises
Sometimes people say “yes” to unexpected requests! Let curiosity guide your journey—it can lead to amazing moments. -
Prioritize Your Emotional Health
Take breaks if you need to. The challenge is about self-growth, not self-doubt, so check in with yourself regularly.
