Overcoming fear and distraction, and managing time more efficiently.
Similar to sports and business, succeeding in education requires mental toughness and resilience.
Distraction, procrastination, fear of uncertainty, inattentiveness and time mismanagement are challenges every student and educator faces. The path to achieving your goals is fraught with obstacles that test one's confidence and perseverance demanding continuous adaption and unwavering commitment to personal growth and learning.
GRIT: fueling the education journey
At the heart of overcoming these challenges is GRIT: the combination of passion and persistence, the unyielding commitment to your goals, and the resilience to bounce back stronger from setbacks.
Our program is crafted with the student and educator’s journey in mind, offering a blend of psychological fortitude training and actionable strategies to enhance focus, improve time management, and boost performance under pressure and deadlines.
Stories of triumph: Juan's GRIT Journey
Juan Coyote, a 35-year-old from Alamosa, Colorado, exemplifies true grit. Growing up in a traditional Mexican family, he frequently moved and faced the expectation to provide for his family. Despite being told he shouldn't pursue anything better for himself because it would be too hard and he wasn't smart enough, Juan found strength within himself and pursued his dream of becoming a counselor.
By applying the four-step grit process—reflecting, resetting, refocusing, and reengaging—he overcame significant obstacles and achieved his master's degree in counseling.
This accomplishment proved to him that he is capable of much more than he ever imagined. Now, Juan aims to work with the community and build his counseling business. Juan's story is one of enduring challenges, continuous improvement, and resilience.
