Angela Duckworth | General Discussion

8/22/2022

 
Use this thread for general commentary on the session and what your takeaways are! Feel free to post questions, share stories, etc. 

Overview: ​Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals. All high achievers have some level of skill or ability with their craft, but it’s their grittiness that sets them apart. Angela Duckworth’s research started from a single question, “Why do some people succeed and others fail?” In her quest, she found that grit is the single biggest determining factor to success. She’s also discovered scientific evidence for how you can increase your own level of grit over time: through practice! However, practice is about quality, not quantity. Gritty people engage in deliberate practice, which consists of three steps: breaking down your overall performance into tiny pieces and practicing one piece at a time, applying 100% focus, and seeking feedback. Individuals with grit reflect on feedback and do something about it instead of receiving it as criticism. Those with grit also have an inner circle around them that won’t let them quit on a bad day. 

What stuck out to you during this session?

My number 1 takeaway for my notes was in her discussion about community and people around you. Some version of: If you want to quit on a good day, that's okay. But find people that care enough about you not to let you quit on a bad day.
