The truth is you need both in life to succeed. Successful women in business
and at work know all too well about grit. Author and sociologist Angela
Duckworth rightfully says that you can?t have success without grit. But grit
alone can?t sustain success.
Join Key4Women National Director, Rachael Sampson to help us kickoff
Women?s History month with guest speaker Cheryle Jackson for a discussion
on why practicing grace along with grit is the answer to not only sustaining
success but walking in your brilliance to live a life your soul desires.
Cheryle Jackson?s history-making career has been marked by her ability to
break barriers. She has served as a C-suite executive at a global aviation
company, CEO of the Chicago Urban League, a candidate for the U.S.
Senate seat vacated by President Obama, communications director for an
Illinois Governor, and a vice president at National Public Radio. In 2018,
Cheryle founded Grit and Grace, The Movement, a women?s empowerment,
coaching and media company. In 2020, she became CEO of MyOwnDoctor,
a telehealth company that offers culturally specific care with platforms Black
Telehealth and LatinX Telehealth.
In her intimate TEDx Talk ''Grit and Grace,'' Cheryle validates the career
trajectories of go getters but also implores women to place self-compassion
on par with ambition as a lasting model for success.
