The husband didn't speak with the board of directors because he was embarrassed to show his face around them. The wife suggests picking himself up and brainstorming ideas together, reminding him that settingbacks don't define him.

I just don't get it, I thought my proposals were solid. How could the board of directors reject them outright?
gpt
I'm sorry to hear that, dear. Did you have a chance to speak with any of them and see why they rejected your proposals?
human
No, I didn't. I was too embarrassed to show my face around them after the rejection.
gpt
Don't beat yourself up about it too much. Everybody has setbacks sometimes. What matters is how we handle them and what we do next.
human
You're right. I need to pick myself up and come up with more thoughtful proposals that address the board's concerns.
gpt
Exactly. And don't forget, you have a great team that can help you with that. Maybe you could brainstorm with them to come up with new ideas.
human
That's a great idea. I'll talk to them tomorrow and see what we can come up with together.
gpt
Good, don't forget that this setback doesn't define you. Remember when you had that argument with the CEO of your company?
human
Oh gosh, I remember that. I wish I could forget about it.

You made a mistake, but you learned from it and you have moved on. The same will happen with this proposal rejection. It's just a speed bump on the road to success.
