Piers Marsden is a self-proclaimed petrol head, universal sports fan and human ice breaker whose GRIT is the driving force behind his personal and professional success.

By day, he is a Management Consultant who specializes in the somber work of helping companies that are going through significant crisis. Mostly financial distress, but also reputational or some other existential issue.

This line of work means Piers has to spend a substantial amount of time travelling from Canada to South Africa, far away from his wife and three children. In a powerful revelation, Piers shares that leaving is hard but coming home and reintegrating can be the biggest challenge of all.

Tune in to hear how his GRIT steers him toward the proverbial checkered flag and always gets him across the finish line at home, at work or at play 🏁!

I can't bear weight on bent knees so I take Puppy

I can't bear weight on bent knees so I take Puppy Dog Pose instead of the usual Child's Pose but the opportunities to bring on breath are the same in all variations 😮‍💨. If you can get yourself as flat as a kite, go there!

Inhale your finger tips further away from your body. Exhale your hips closer to your heels (even though mine are nowhere close 🤪).

Inhale to fill your upper back with air. Exhale your chest closer to your mat.

Inhale your hands up until your finger tips are the only thing touching your mat. Exhale your hands back down until your palms are flat and root into the first set of knuckles below your nails.

It's #FunFactsFriday 🥳

1 - I love Thursdays and I love Autumn so I did a happy dance when I saw this graphic in Canva last year 🥰.

2 - Screen time stresses me out so I have this image on my desktop and it makes me smile whenever I open my laptop 😃. How did @openinggate and @canva know I needed this graphic in my life 🤪???

3 - I get overwhelmed visually so I keep my desktop pretty clear. If it's too busy, I just want to close my laptop and walk away 😬!

4 - I recently discovered that you can use emojis as file names so I saved an adorable little purple monster on my desktop and the file is named 😍. Can you find him???

Dealing with rejection and fearing it altogether h

Dealing with rejection and fearing it altogether have come up as obstacles for a few GRITizens this weekend.

Based on my own experiences with rejection, here's some of what I shared with a GRITizen who also runs a small business.

"Every single time you stand up for your worth is a chance for rejection so it’s just a matter of being able to live with and learn from that person’s rejection or that client’s rejection.

Rejection is essentially a difference in opinions. What matters is that you believe in your position even if the other person/client doesn’t and you try again with someone else 👍🏾."

Yes, I say these things to myself on a regular basis (sometimes out loud) 🤪.

Can you use some GRIT to face the challenging situations and relationships that come with going back to school?

Through GRIT Village, workshops and one-to-one sessions, my mission is to lead you in your power in order to leave you in your power as you navigate life's obstacles with your GRIT 🔥.

Once you become a GRITizen, you get to know yourself well enough to see how you can make it to the other side of an obstacle and thrive there 👍🏾.

Let's connect!

Have you ever noticed that some co-workers are least likely to hear each other when the stakes are high? Have you ever heard leaders say they wish their people could speak the same language when situations are stressful?

My GRIT workshops bring a new vocabulary to workplaces and new insights into familiar relationships!

When you know someone cares about Goals-Relationships-Ideas-Trust in the face of obstacles, it gives you a road map to increase the odds of getting through to this person.

In contrast, for someone who defines their GRIT as Growth-Resolve-Inspiration-Tenacity, you would take a very different approach to steering the conversation about a challenging situation.

How much will engagement increase on your team if you give people the chance to speak their colleagues’ languages?

I'm working with a couple of GRITizens whose struggle to manage their time is deeply rooted in their struggle to value their time and make their own needs a priority.

Through our work together, they've also discovered that the ability to manage time has strong parallels to setting and maintaining boundaries.

Your time cannot protect itself ⏰. If you don't protect it, there's a good chance you're going to lose track of it or give it all way.

Looking at the week ahead, who or what will benefit when you commit to protecting your time? Maybe your body, business, family, mind, energy, spirit, friendships, overall wellness???

Let your GRIT be your guide if you're struggling with time management and you want a new tool in your tool kit 👍🏾.

It's #FunFactsFriday 🥳

1 - If I took on the form of a flower, I'd totally be a purple Allium!

2 - I have three of them tattooed on my right forearm (but those ones are black)!

3 - Allium is the Latin word for garlic 🤪

4 - Allium is a flowering plant with hundreds of species, including the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives.

5 - I absolutely LOVE garlic and I eat roasted garlic cloves straight out of the bulb. Sometimes, I eat so much that my skin smells like garlic and that makes me really happy 😁.
