Why I Built It
Grit isn’t grinding harder. It’s going deeper.
As one of the first women to fly Apache helicopters in the U.S. Army, I learned early that grit isn’t optional. What I’ve learned since, writing The Grit Factor and working with leaders, is that grit can be taught, practiced and built.
Leading with Grit turns those lessons into practical steps you can use right away, through stories from women military leaders who each faced a double crucible: a demanding job, in places that didn’t always want them there.
You start with an honest look at where you are. You finish with a plan for your organization, your manager and your daily life, and the same assessment again, so you can see what changed.
Who It’s For
Leaders in transition, stepping into bigger roles or navigating uncertainty
High achievers who want to stop running on empty
Leaders of people, of change, of excellence, in any sector

One week in, you’ve already transformed me. I used to look at myself through the lens of my limitations. Now I understand myself through the lens of strength and opportunity.

Questions
Before you enroll.
When does it start?
The moment you enroll. Every module is open right away, and you go at your own pace.
How much time will it take?
About 15 hours in all. Many leaders take it a module or two a week.
Is it only for military leaders?
No. The stories come from the military; the framework works for leaders in any sector: corporate, nonprofit, entrepreneurial or public service.
How is this different from the Grit Mindset webinar?
The webinar is one hour on the mindset. Leading with Grit is the full course: the three phases of the Grit Triad, the assessments, the worksheets, and a plan for taking it into your work. Webinar attendees are welcome here.
What about Leading with Purpose?
Leading with Purpose is a six-week deep dive into the Commit phase of the Triad. Leading with Grit covers all three phases. The two pair well.
Will I get personal attention?
