Scott Burrows recently spoke to a financial services company and the CEO was so impressed with what he heard that he booked him to speak to another one of his companies virtually on the spot. What struck such a chord for the CEO? In one word it was willpower. After the presentation he said to Scott: "you willed yourself out of that wheelchair. You willed your nerve endings to fire again. Willpower is the Grit." He went on to observe how very much his top producers needed to be reminded to will themselves up every day, and do all the little things they need do as they pursue new opportunities and grow their businesses.
Scott's keynote presentation is inspirational, but it also shows audiences how the seemingly impossible, or at least the very difficult or trying things can be done. He receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from people who say, simply, thank you for showing me the way - if you were able to do that, than I can certainly do what I need to do.
