Building Tenacity: How to Cultivate Grit and Confidence with Liz Hutson of EGH, LLC 4-23-25
And when I think about the tempo that our world keeps today, if it's not sharp and pithy and pushes forward, those ideas, you know, like even a personality, a person is brushed aside really quickly. And so if we're not positioning it well and we're not having a healthy dose of push, those ideas can stay behind.

And the question that you asked, I think, is a good one, which is, are we born with tenacity or is it something that can be built? Und mein Gedanke darauf ist, dass bestimmte Persönlichkeiten innere Persönlichkeiten haben, die mehr oder weniger komfortabel mit dem Anstrengen sind, mehr oder weniger komfortabel mit der Konzentration sind.

Jedoch glaube ich, dass es eine Fähigkeit ist, die entwickelt und gewachsen werden kann. Und heute, Scott, würde ich gerne darüber sprechen, wie wir damit umgehen.

Ja, ich denke, es geht um drei Dinge, die ich erwähnt habe. Ich nehme Thema Nummer eins. The first thing is I believe you've got to work hard and build confidence in your ideas and work. Because I think tenacity is so much easier to manifest and just channel the push and the drive when we feel confident in the work that we've done and we've put in that work up front.

And I think about when all of us were kids and were in school setting, college setting, when we're taking a test. And we come in really well prepared. We've done the homework. We did the practice test. We drilled the materials. We come into that test and we feel confident. We feel dominant. Like I'm going to do well on this test because I did a great job preparing for this.

And I think it's no different in work settings or presentations or whatever that is. You exude confidence. when you come in prepared. And then others feel that as well from you. They can see, you know what you're talking about. So channeling tenacity is so much easier when you've done the work up front. That's the first point, Scott.

Exactly, exactly.

Yeah, second point. ist, dass ich glaube, dass Neugier nicht kommt und nur kämpft und drückt, und das ist das Einzige. Du musst es in der richtigen Weise machen. Ich denke, es gibt eine Balance von Neugier, die einen Sinn von Leidenschaft mit, ich sage, Verrücktheit verbindet.

Und wenn ich das sage, denke ich oft, wenn wir Neugier denken, ich werde diese Neugier channeln, kommt man manchmal mit dieser starken Intensität. And you may come across as like, I know what I'm doing and I'm going to push this. But you run the risk of having your audience dig into their point of view even harder. You kind of bulldoze them.

And then they may concede out of fear, but not out of belief. And I don't think that's good. But I believe that if you meet people where they're at, and that's what I talk about, like doing it the right way, meet people where they're at, but then also don't be afraid to press. And at the right times, you escalate both in your voice and your power, your research, like all the things.

But I think there's that balance of don't come at it with, um die Leute aufzunehmen, aber gleichzeitig mit denen zu treffen, wo sie sind und dann einen Weg finden, um ein bisschen weiter zu gehen. Ich denke, das ist Punkt Nummer zwei.

Genau. Genau. Und der letzte Punkt, Scott, ist, starte klein. Also ich denke, für einige Leute ist es sehr einfach, Tänzung zu finden und zu channeln. Wiederum, es ist nur Teil dessen, wer du bist. Vielleicht praktizierst du viel, aber ich würde sagen, für Leute, bei denen es schwierig ist, vielleicht ist es schwierig, deine Stimme zu finden, vielleicht fühlst du dich ein bisschen timid.

Was ich sagen würde, ist, starte klein mit dem. Lege dich in deine Tänzung in kleine Späße. Vielleicht praktiziere mit Themen, die etwas niedrig sind. Vielleicht Leute, mit denen du dir mehr zufrieden bist, mit denen du ein bisschen besser weißt. As you start to gain some wins and you build some traction with that, you're going to build confidence.

Then you start to take slightly bigger risks in meetings or in opportunities. You just eke that out a little bit. It's a practice. It's a skill. Are people born with it or is it something that can be built? I believe it's something that can be built. You start small. At the end of the day, Scott, I think you probably have experienced this more than most people in this world.

I think people are people. You have interviewed presidents of the United States, top athletes, subject matter experts in all areas and facets of healthcare. People are people. And I think each one of us, we step into our pants one leg at a time. And I don't think a title... someone more important than the other or has better ideas than the other.

I think we lean into the idea, the passion, the hard work that we put in and we find those spaces again to meet people where they're at and then get tenacious and press forward. But I think we start small and we just recognize that people are people and we can connect with them wherever they're at.

Ja, das klingt großartig. Scott, danke dir so sehr für deine Zeit heute. Ich dachte mir, warum ist Genesse wichtig? Ich denke, wenn wir heute die Welt betrachten, wollen wir eine Idee von uns erreichen, sei es in einem Geschäftsbereich oder in einem Gemeinschaftsbereich. Wir wollen unsere Arbeit präsentieren.

Wir wollen für eine Möglichkeit betrachtet werden, ob es ein nächstes-Level-Job ist, ein neues Job, was auch immer es sein könnte. Wir müssen Genesse haben. Wir können all diese Ideen haben, aber wenn sie nie gehört werden, What good is it?
