In this episode we share ideas for improving resiliency in our graduate students. Topics covered include:

  • Angela Duckworth's book "Grit" and Liz Wiseman's "Impact Players" are two resources we discuss and recommend
  • Passion is a part of resiliency, we discuss ways to foster passion in our students
  • Deliberate practice: we suggest ways to pressure test our students to build those skills they need later in the defense, etc.
  • We discuss how we identify the impact players on our teams and how we help develop others into impact players (ex. helping them maintaining ownership of a situation when it gets tough)
  • Balancing building resiliency without causing damage to a student's confidence (and how personality/strengths assessments can help)
