Desire
You begin by naming what is true beneath performance.
MRC Academy Leadership Formation
Grit & Grace for Leaders
A 10-day leadership sprint and a 10-week challenge for leaders who choose depth over distraction. This is not motivation. This is formation.
Desire → Discipline → Habit
Community + Accountability
Visible Self-Governance
The 10-Day Sprint
Grit & Grace is a 10-day leadership sprint designed to reset your inner architecture. It is not a motivational detox or a quick fix. It is a concentrated distillation of a deeper formation process delivered to leaders across Asia and Latin America.
Begin with desire
Not as ego, but as blueprint.

Name what was buried

The 10-Week Challenge
If the Sprint was a spark, the Challenge is the fire. This is where your foundation becomes structure. Through daily rituals, guided exercises, accountability circles, and tested commitments, leadership stops being performative and becomes embodied.
Practice in community
Daily rituals, guided exercises, accountability circles.

Confront resistance
Fatigue, fear, distraction, and self-sabotage become material for formation.

The Formation Path
From spark to structure.
The Sprint awakens the first movements of inner order. The 10-Week Challenge deepens them until desire becomes vow, vow becomes discipline, and discipline becomes lived authority.

Vow
Desire matures into commitment and chosen direction.
03
Clarity

Courage

Responsibility
Your word gains weight. Duty becomes internal, not borrowed.

Authority
This is where leaders stop performing for approval — and start living from vow.
Ancient kings buried their vision in stone. Inanna stole civilization’s divine codes. Today the question is personal: What have you buried? What must you claim? Grit & Grace is a return to the architecture beneath performance.
“If the Sprint was a spark, the Challenge is the fire. Ten weeks. Ten vows. Ten transformations. Welcome to the work that lasts.”
MRC Academy • Grit & GraceWho this is for
Leaders tired of drift, noise, and fragmentation.
People ready to move from intention to visible self-governance.
Builders, founders, mentors, and professionals who want inner authority, not borrowed language.
What you walk away with
Greater clarity about what you truly want.
A deeper relationship with discipline, repair, and responsibility.
A tested leadership charter you can live from under pressure.
Questions leaders may ask
Clear answers. No fluff. No seminar language.
Is this a course?
No. It is a structured formation experience. You are not here to consume information. You are here to confront, practice, embody, and build.
What is the difference between the 10-day and 10-week paths?
The 10-day Sprint is the reset. The 10-week Challenge is the installation. One ignites. The other establishes.
What if I feel resistance?
That is part of the work. Fatigue, fear, distraction, and self-sabotage are not signs to leave. They are the very material leadership must learn to shape.
