Developing Grit

Grit is a psychological trait that refers to a person's perseverance and passion for long-term goals. It is the ability to persist in the pursuit of objectives despite facing setbacks, obstacles, and challenges. Gritty individuals are characterised by their determination, resilience, and the willingness to put in sustained effort to achieve their ambitions.

Grit is considered an important factor in achieving success, it suggests that talent and intelligence alone are not enough; sustained effort and resilience are equally critical for reaching one's full potential.

Here are some key themes we will cover during the program:

• Passion and Perseverance: It's not just about working hard but also maintaining that effort over an extended period.
• Long-Term Focus: Gritty individuals tend to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term rewards
• Resilience: Gritty people see obstacles as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than as reasons to give up
• Consistency: Grit is not about sporadic bursts of effort but about consistency in daily actions that align with one's goals
• Self-Discipline: Gritty individuals often possess strong self-discipline, which allows them to stay committed to their objectives even when faced with distractions or temptations.
• Mental Toughness: it involves maintaining a positive attitude and staying focused under pressure.
• Purpose: Gritty individuals often have a clear sense of purpose that motivates them, this provides them with the drive to overcome obstacles
• Learning and Growth: Gritty people view challenges and failures as opportunities to learn and improve. They are open to feedback and continually seek ways to enhance their skills and knowledge.
• Achievement: Ultimately, grit is associated with achieving one's goals and realising long-term success. Gritty individuals are more likely to reach their objectives because they persist through difficulties
