Cultivating Grit and Resilience: Harnessing Passion, Perseverance and Purpose for Success

“I don’t know anybody who has thought more than Caroline Miller about how to apply the scientific research on grit and achievement to our own lives.” — Dr. Angela Duckworth, author of GRIT

In these times of greater complexity, ever-increasing regulation and stiff global competition, organizations need leaders who can weather change and be resilient. Resilient leaders know how to combine passion, persistence and purpose to embody authentic grit. Authentic grit awes and inspires others to become better people and imagine greater possibilities for themselves. Authentic grit is “the secret to success” because it is a necessary ingredient to accomplish long-term goals. If you want to learn how to cultivate authentic grit within yourself and your teams or need to motivate your team to accomplish long-term goals, this session is for your organization.
