Recap: Grit for the Grind of Student Life & Beyond

Indy Grit Community Grit for the Grind

Thanks to all who made our Q3 IndyGrit.Community event a great success. We especially appreciate our hosts, the IUPUI Department of Computer Information and Graphics Technology.

Our panel for Grit for the Grind of Student Life & Beyond featured three of our own local superstars: Doug Karr, Chris Rogers, and Aaron Sanders.

Aaron's perspective was especially thought-provoking. Several of you asked for a copy of his list of behaviors that require no talent. Here they are:

1. Being on time
2. Making an effort
3. Being high energy
4. Having a positive attitude
5. Being passionate
6. Using good body language
7. Being coachable
8. Doing a little extra
9. Being prepared
10. Having a strong work ethic

It was gratifying to have this multi-generational group for our one-year anniversary event. My Pretty Little Pretzel made us all feel very special with their unique catering flair. The small group discussion at the tables was lively and no one got up to leave when we adjourned.
