The greatest obstacle blocking high-performing professionals isn't external challenges.


It's the lack of a structured framework for developing true grit. Without this framework, even the most talented leaders crumble under pressure when it matters most.


âś“ You lie awake at night, exhausted but unable to quiet your racing mind, wondering if you have what it takes to lead through the next crisis.

âś“ You feel increasingly reactive rather than strategic, making decisions from a place of depletion instead of clarity.

âś“ You've lost sight of what matters most as competing demands pull you in countless directions.

âś“ Your team looks to you for inspiration, but you're barely holding it together yourself.

âś“ The strategies that worked before aren't working now, leaving you questioning your capabilities.

âś“ You worry that admitting struggle means admitting weakness, so you soldier on alone, growing more isolated.

âś“ The gap between your public leadership persona and your private doubts widens daily.

Going For Grit

As one of the first women to fly Apache helicopters in the U.S. Army, I faced environments where grit wasn't optional—it was survival. What I discovered through those experiences, and later through hundreds of interviews with military leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs for The Grit Factor, was that true grit isn't just about grinding harder—it's about going deeper. The breakthrough came when I realized that sustainable resilience follows a predictable pattern that can be taught, practiced, and mastered.

This revelation led me to develop The Grit Triad™, a research-backed framework that transforms how leaders navigate challenge by integrating their past experiences, present capabilities, and future vision into a cohesive force. And now, Going for Grit turns these hard-won lessons into practical action steps that any leader can implement immediately.

What would it be worth to develop unshakable resilience that transforms your leadership effectiveness? Many leaders spend $15,000-$25,000 on executive coaching programs that never address the fundamental issue of developing true grit. The cost of continuing without a resilience framework—missed opportunities, team turnover, and potential burnout—can easily exceed $50,000 in lost productivity and advancement.

Yet your investment for the complete Going for Grit program is just $797.
