Welcome to a month dedicated to mastering the power of grit!
Each week, we will host a webinar in a chosen topic and set a challenge to help you tap into your own grit.
The webinars, held every Tuesday, will have a range of guest speakers to help and inspire you along your journey.
Each weekly challenge is a chance to stretch you, without overwhelming you.
