The Grit Factor: How Courage, Resilience, and Leadership Can Break You Through the Glass Ceiling
Sometimes success is not about being in the right place at the right time, it's about hanging in there. And yet persistence is hard, especially when things look bleak. Shannon Huffman Polson, former Army officer, author, speaker, and founder of The Grit Institute, knows a thing or two about toughing it out and she brings that insight to our discussion about business and reinvention.
