What do you do when the world tells you “NO” 500 times?If you’re Kate Delaney (https://katedelaneyspeaker.com/) apparently you keep going until they finally get the hell out of your way.WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/U9j2caW-OeEKate is an Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, author, speaker, and one of the first women to host a solo nationally syndicated sports talk show. But before the awards, big-name interviews and 700+ locker rooms (yes, there are stories), there were years of rejection, including being flat-out told that women didn’t belong in sports broadcasting.So how do you keep rejection from turning into discouragement, bitterness, or the sneaking suspicion that maybe everyone else is right?THAT’S where this conversation gets juicy.Kate and I talk about what it actually takes to keep betting on yourself when all signs point to Quitsville and how she built the confidence, resilience and tiny-but-mighty army of “raving fans” that helped her break through.We also get into:The spectacularly inappropriate on-air slip that helped Kate WIN an award.Why she stopped telling certain people about her dreams and who she listened to instead.The confidence lesson she learned from watching men claim what they were good at…sometimes before they were actually good at it.Come for the sports. Stay for the glorious reminder that someone else’s “you can’t” does not have to be yours.Anne Bonney helps organizations stop waiting for people to “get on board” with change and gets them moving through the discomfort and into action.​  She is a change keynote speaker and emcee specializing in the human side of organizational change, including resistance to change, confident change leadership, emotional intelligence, and courageous communication.
