The Neuroscience of the Pivot: When to Grit and When to Quit

When to Grit and When to Quit

Join us for an illuminating discussion on the biology of persistence and change. We will explore the fine line between healthy resilience and “toxic grit,” and why letting go of a goal often triggers a physical threat response in the brain. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and clinical brain mapping, we will decode the biological signals that indicate it’s time to pivot, rest, or let go. Whether you are navigating a career shift, a relationship change, or burnout, this talk will help you override the brain’s fear of “sunk costs.” Learn how to support smarter decision-making rooted in self-trust, and how to change your mind without shame.
