Show Notes

Laurie Sudbrink is the author of GRIT and CEO of Unlimited Coaching. Her work is her passion based on being a middle child with 13 siblings from a blended family. Grit was something she was taught at a young age and now she works on a daily basis with leaders across multiple organisations helping people work better together.
Laurie’s passion to help others is partly based on the loss of two of her brothers to suicide leaving her questioning and seeking her personal purpose. Laurie decided her response was not just about being ‘gritty’ it was about living her purpose and giving authentically. Laurie realised life would never be the same after these tragedies and so her journey started to define GRIT for herself and others and to always learn and grow from every situation in life.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going, which is unsustainable.
G.R.I.T.
Generosity – the ability to give and receive with a feeling of abundance and a focus on servant leadership.
Respect – When we know and accept ourselves we align our behaviours on a daily basis and practice our ability to self-respect. Also, we must respect others whilst challenging our own thoughts and beliefs that drive our actions.
Integrity – Aligning to your truth and being authentic to your personal purpose. All leaders cast a shadow and we must also consider our congruence.
Truth – It all starts inside us, knowing yourself and accepting ourselves with objectivity. The DISC tool is a useful resource for all leaders to uncover their truth. Be curious about yourself.
