SCORE Boston Workshop:

Building Entrepreneurial Grit

Grit is a combination of passion and perseverance, and is the one trait that differentiates between excellent and exceptional performance. As evidenced by studies of populations ranging from US Military Academy students at West Point to elementary school children, research shows that grit is the key performance skill that can be developed and taught. From start-up leaders, inventors, and entrepreneurs to tech innovators and scientists, grit is needed to stay the course, to overcome failures on the way to success.

This free interactive workshop will teach ways you can build grit for yourself and others, along with how to strengthen resilience and optimism. Through group and partner discussions, you will learn how to build grit, develop optimism, and strengthen resilience as competencies to overcome change and challenges. To become familiar with grit before the workshop, check out this 6 minute Ted Talk on Grit or the presenter's Podcast on Millennial Grit and Resilience.
