David Fivecoat spent 24 years in the Army including tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. He now runs The Fivecoat Consulting Group, which helps develop gritty leaders. In this episode, he discusses how to develop personal grit.

Today on our podcast, we're going to be talking about the mindset of leadership and how to lead yourself and to lead others around you. We're drawing from the experience of Col. David Fivecoat, a man who has served over 24 years in the military and has led over four combat tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, as well as serving on peacekeeping missions. And you might say, “well, I'm not a leader.” But, you might be a parent, a spouse, a co-worker. We can still learn how to lead others around us. Big takeaways from this episode are: learn how to set goals with oriented timeframes to create the results that you want pain versus pleasure and how to overcome it the best attributes that make people successful and how we can develop those in our life how to set expectations for others, so that they can come along in the process and you say, Well, I'm not a leader. Well, you might be a parent, you might be married. And so we can learn how to lead others in and around us. You're not going to want to miss this! To connect with Col.

David Fivecoat, (Ret.) Army Colonel, executive leadership coach through the Fivecoat Consulting Group, and self-published author of the up and coming book Grow Your Grit joined NGW for an in depth conversation. We dove into topics like the importance of learning how to be a follower, how to approach mid-career military transition for officers, and the importance of taking risk-taking in your civilian career.

My guest today is a retired US Army Colonel, author of the book "Grow Your Grit", and the founder of The Fivecoat Consulting Group, David Fivecoat. In his 24 years of service as an infantry officer, I asked him what made him join the military. His answer is not the typical due to influence of relatives or friends but because of this "strong" interest he had by doing something. After his journey in the military, he found more "joy" in building his own business where he helped enhance the leadership of other people and business operations of companies through executive coaching. He shares one easy way to help yourself decide whether to continue doing something or not. This may be helpful to those who are struggling to plan their day. We also discuss some of the components of grit and what made him write his latest book. Watch this video to learn more.

On this episode we talk to David about his life, his career in what it takes mentally to make it through Ranger and Airborne school. He also talk about his love of reading and how we both agree that leaders are readers. And then we get into talking about true grit and what it means to have grit in life and business.
