The greatest obstacle blocking high-achieving professionals from reaching their full leadership


Potential isn't skill or knowledge—it's disconnection from their core purpose.


âś“ You lie awake at night, mind racing with competing priorities, feeling pulled in so many directions you can barely breathe

âś“ The fire that once fueled your ambition has dimmed to embers, leaving you questioning if you've been climbing the wrong mountain all along

✓ Decision-making feels increasingly heavy—each choice weighed down by uncertainty about what truly matters in your leadership journey

âś“ You push yourself harder, terrified that slowing down means falling behind, yet knowing this unsustainable pace is crushing your spirit

✓ Your resilience—once your greatest strength—feels depleted as you navigate challenge after challenge without a clear sense of direction or meaning

Lead with Purpose

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.
