Angela Duckworth on Goal Hierarchies | Acumen Academy

In this lecture, Angela will explain how you can use goal hierarchies as a tool for organizing and pursuing your long-term, high-order ambitions.
The secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence called “grit.” In this course, MacArthur Genius, psychologist, and bestselling author Angela Duckworth will introduce you to research-grounded insights and practical strategies to become a grittier person-someone with the perseverance to power through difficult circumstances and drive change in the world. Taught by Angela Duckworth, a MacArthur Genius winner, bestselling author of “Grit,” and University of Pennsylvania psychologist, you’ll learn strategies to set the right goals, uncover your interests, implement deliberate practice in your daily life, cultivate a growth mindset, and find purpose in your work so that social change makers can continue pursuing difficult challenges.
Learn How To:
✏️ Identify your animating passions and top-level goals
✏️ Reframe challenges and build a growth mindset
✏️ Implement deliberate practice in your life in order to master a new "hard thing"
