The Connection Between Grace and Grit with Inga Stasiulionytė

We were excited to chat with our friend and colleague, Inga Stasiulionytė about two important topics that are evolving in the corporate and athletic world: feedback and grit. As a performance and leadership coach and former Olympic javelin thrower, Inga has compelling perspectives on these topics. 

For Inga, “grit” means “character-building.” She had a coach who taught her not only that she could train her body but that she could train her character. She now coaches clients to learn how to pursue grit as it relates to their personal leadership journey.  We explore perseverance and rest and grace as key elements of grit.

What we will explore in this episode: 

• Inga’s definition of grit.
• How to break limits in a sustainable way.
• Learning what pain signals growth and what pain warrants rest.
• Understanding your capacity and how to use it
