Show Notes

I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

 

Sometimes leading is about putting your head down and just.getting.it.done.

It sucks, it’s not easy, but sometimes leaders need to dig deep and get it done.

We’ve all heard the term, grit.  And we’ve all heard how we need grit to help us dig deep.  But how can we use grit?

In this episode, you’ll hear from David Fivecoat, an executive coach, author, entrepreneur, and US Army veteran who will talk about his experiences with grit and how emerging leaders can use grit to get.it.done.
