AEE 224: Do You Have GRIT? Learn How to Develop It with Fortune 500 Executive Coach Sarah Scala
Do you have grit for learning English?
Today, Lindsay talks with Sarah Scala about the importance of persistence, both in life and in learning English!
Resilience is the ability to pick yourself up after a setback, and keep going. It’s an important ability, and it’s also something we can improve in ourselves.
But Sarah believes that grit is even more important. Grit is your ability to stay focused, over the long term. It enables a person to be nimble and accept the ups and downs without losing focus.

- Have a growth mindset. Your brain has the ability to change and evolve, and that will make it easier to succeed and harder to fail. Attune your thinking to this inherent ability.
- Practice. The only way to become an expert is to work at it.
