Tech Reads Ep. 10 - No Grit, No Glory - Dr. Paul G. Stoltz on Adversity
Description
Dr. Paul G. Stoltz has built an impressive life’s work and career as a multi-national bestselling author, speaker, coach, and corporate trainer. He's the CEO of PEAK Learning, a global firm that teaches individuals and organizations how to engineer resilience and thrive on adversity. Over 40 years ago, Paul discovered that like IQ, each of us has an AQ (Adversity Quotient) number. Now widely referenced, Paul was the first to coin the term 'AQ,' ushering a new word into our lexicon. We can't improve what we can't measure and Paul's mission is to show each of us that we have an AQ number, and once we know it, we can work to improve it. Having a 'growth mindset' (as compared to a limited mindset) is key to reaching our potential and AQ gives us an objective metric to avoid falling into the comparison trap.Improving your AQ is accomplished through his honed AQ Tools and GRIT, the title of a subsequent bestseller for Paul. Rather than recoil and retract, those with grit persevere and overcome - building strength to face greater challenges ahead.
