Alex Hannold scaled Yosemite’s El Capitan solo, seemingly effortlessly and with great command over the rock. The most remarkable aspect of the near impossible feat of accomplishment is Alex’s grit, a strength-based psychological skill that propels most humans to carve out a path to reach goals that are once thought to be unattainable. The question is, can we cultivate grit?On this episode, educational scholar, lecturer in Curriculum &amp; Instruction at Baylor University, and author of “A student’s guide to grit and greatness”, Dr. Laila Y.
