"Spending time going through the process of building grit was very eye opening for me. I loved how we took
small steps that were broken down to help us look at what we needed to do."
"I truly appreciated all aspects of the 4-step grit process, I believe that this process could be applied to all aspects of an individual’s life, if one were so inclined."
"At first I did not know exactly what grit was because I initially thought grit was towards only athletes. I was able to understand that grit is for everyone, and the aspect I found useful was re: engage because it helps encourage motivation to act on the goal."
“That was great. I loved it. So true. I think like this daily. I am going to have my daughters listen to this. I try to explain certain things to them about taking the tougher routes“
