Angela Duckworth

About

With 7.5 million TED Views of her ‘Grit’ talk, Angela Lee Duckworth needs no introduction to educators and leaders around the world. A consultant, then a maths teacher, now an assistant professor in psychology at the University of Psychology, her research subjects include students, West Point cadets, and corporate salespeople, all of whom she studies to determine how "grit" is a better indicator of success than factors such as IQ or family income. “Angela Lee Duckworth's research validated and furthered my beliefs in the keys to success for individuals, teams and a business. While intelligence is required, Angela demonstrated that the determining factors for success were perseverance, hard work and a drive to improve.” — Shabbir Dahod, Forbes ‘A great speaker. Grit and character education are very much of the moment.’ Ann Mroz, Editor, TES
