What makes some leaders persevere when others give up? It’s not their talent or IQ—it’s their grit.

To that end, we have asked Angela Duckworth, author of “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,” to be our next featured speaker.

“Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out,” says Duckworth, the pioneering voice on the subject. “Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
In this exclusive presentation, the bestselling author and top-viewed TedTalk speaker explains why grit is the secret to outstanding achievement and how you can grow it.

She will address the questions: What does grit look like in everyday life? How do you hone it? What does grit look like in a company? How do you get teams to hone it?

Developing a growth mindset, cultivating your interests and daily grit exercises are just a few methods she’ll cover. Duckworth will offer an actionable guide to becoming a grittier and more successful person at home, in the office and as a leader.
