The Power of Persistence - Thoughts from Kevin

Persistence is good and virtuous. But it's also hard. And telling someone to be persistent seldom goes all that well. We may know it, but don't want to hear it – or even know what to do with the advice when we hear it. Many years ago when I was at Purdue, I was having a conversation with a friend who was in the process of interviewing for jobs after college. She was getting frustrated and when I gave her the advice to simply be persistent, I was met with the response referenced here above. She wasn't thrilled. So then I added a simple word to my advice of persistence. And that two word phrase is something I still use today in my own life and in coaching others.

When times are hard focus on patient persistence. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Browse our archives of Remarkable TV and then sign up to receive an email each week when we release a new episode.
