Measuring GRIT
The Grit Scale
. “Angela Duckworth created the Grit Scale so that she could study grit as a scientist. Why?
Because you cannot study what you cannot measure.
Here is a link to her scale – measure yourself https://angeladuckworth.com/grit-scale/f
It’s easy to cheat on this one but the only person you are cheating is yourself
I think this is worthwhile taking – another area of growth.
Where is your grit? Do you have any?
Creating Connection: The overlooked power of eye contact
Eye contact is the designer’s secret to presence. It’s what transforms a presentation from mechanical to magnetic. Slides may show your ideas, but your eyes show your confidence and that’s what clients and audiences remember most.
Why Every Designer Should Practice Their Speech
In design, presentation is persuasion. When you practice speaking as much as sketching, you build trust, authority, and excitement around your ideas. A polished pitch can make the difference between a “maybe” and a “let’s do it.” Remember your voice is part of your professional toolkit. Use it well, and let it sell your vision as powerfully as your designs do.

Say No
Every “yes” you say is a “no” to something else. Make it count.
