Do you feel that you have the perseverance required to succeed?

Did you know that there is one personal quality shared by leaders that leads to success.
According to Angela Duckworth (Researcher and Author, University of Pennsylvania), "Grit is the perseverance and passion to achieve long-term goals. It entails working consistently toward challenges and being able to maintain interest and effort over the years despite failures."

In this workshop, we will examine the work of Teresa Amabile (The Progress Principle) and discuss the factors that motivate people to work hard.  We will also administer a motivation scale.  Participants will work on key scenarios on which they will provide suggestions on how one can develop resilience, drive, grit, tenacity, and mental hardiness in order to spur motivation.


Added to the above, our goal is to help you to integrate some coaching skills in order to relate to your employees in a more mindful, resourceful way.
