WS/S (1) True Grit: A Culmination of Perseverance, Resilience, and Mindset (Part I)

2 DAYS

Are you willing to take risks? Are you determined to succeed?

Do you understand the importance of grit and establishing a growth mindset culture in the workplace?

As postulated by William James (Psychologist) which is now considered a myth, "We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental resources....men the world over possess amounts of resource which only exceptional individuals push to their extremes of use" (from The Energies of Men, 1907). Although neuroscience has contradicted the latter, do we not really have room for improvement.

In this workshop, we will examine ways to develop grit as the culmination of perseverance, resilience and mindset.
