G.R.I.T. Workbook for Corporate Trainers

The company brings you in to change how people work. Then sends you back to your desk to build the next deck.

What makes training actually stick isn't delivery skill. It's grit — Great Resilience in Time, in you and in the people you train.

Dr. India White's G.R.I.T. framework names the four things that build it: Growth mindset, what a team does after a failed rollout. Resilience, recovering instead of only enduring. Intentional self-efficacy, deciding on purpose that you're capable. Time management, because grit isn't a good week — it's resilience sustained across years.

Duckworth's West Point study found grit predicted who survived the academy's brutal initiation better than intelligence or physical fitness. And grit can be built — which is why it belongs in a development program rather than a hiring filter.

You teach growth and resilience for a living. This one is for you rather than your participants.

Includes: a scored G.R.I.T. self-assessment (out of 80), 10 thematic chapters with core idea, reflection, and practice, a 30-day action plan, and 22 weeks of guided journal pages. 100+ pages, 6×9, print-ready.
