After the unexpected and unnerving loss of her dream job in 2019, Haze took stock of her lived experiences then launched Gritty Guru Company to facilitate powerful and unconventional conversations about navigating life’s obstacles with GRIT.

Since taking her career into her own hands, Haze has used this platform to elevate the importance of reframing thoughts when it’s time to do hard things. Specifically, Haze promotes shifting thoughts to the unique strengths and resources people reliably bring to challenging situations (i.e., their GRIT). With these important conversations in mind, Haze pioneered the GRIT Growth Guide © which highlights opportunities for people to know, grow and show their GRIT personally as well as professionally.

Candid self-discovery rooted in GRIT creates space for individuals to take inventory of their own life experiences and manage change. Haze’s GRIT framework has been used by GRITizens across ages and stages who are searching for meaningful, measurable ways that they can thrive on the other side of obstacles.
