We opened our conference with a keynote address by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler entitled: "Grit Intervention: Developing Grit in Yourself and Your Organization".  Lauren works directly with Angela Duckworth and has included highlights taken from Angela Duckworth's book entitled "GRIT: The Power of Passion and Perseverance”.  We are proud to announce that our sponsor, Horizon Oxygen & Medical Equipment has purchased 25 copies of the Angela Duckworth book “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance”.  25 lucky attendees will receive a hard-copy book.  

About the book

In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research, Angela explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success.

Angela has found that grit—a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal—is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain. She’s also found scientific evidence that grit can grow. Angela gives a first-person account of her research with teachers working in some of the toughest schools, cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference.
