The Grit Triad from The Grit Factor: Commit, Learn, Launch
Live Webinar · Thursday, November 19 · Noon PT
The Grit Mindset
Most of us were taught that grit means pushing harder, sleeping less and never slowing down. Real grit is steadier than that. And you can build it.

The Session
Pressure doesn’t build character. It reveals the habits already there.
Flying the Apache taught me that what holds under pressure is what you practiced before it arrived. In one hour, I’ll give you a working definition of grit you can use on a Tuesday, not just in a crisis, and the first practice for building it.
Who It’s For
Leaders in transition, stepping into bigger roles or navigating uncertainty
High achievers who want to stop running on empty
Anyone who read The Grit Factor and wants to put it to work
What You’ll Leave With
Four things you can use the next morning.
Why grinding harder fails, and what to do instead
One daily practice that builds grit before you need it
A clear next step for the hard thing you’re carrying right now
The presentation has already had an impact company wide in terms of getting people aligned with vernacular and mindset.
