The Wharton Club UK is delighted to welcome Professor Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit and one of the world’s leading psychologists, for an exclusive discussion of her latest book Situated.
Drawing on decades of research into human performance, Duckworth argues that our success is shaped not only by talent and perseverance, but by the environments we choose, the people we surround ourselves with, and the situations we create. Situated offers a compelling new perspective on how we can design our lives to thrive.
This intimate Wharton Club event will take place at Jackie’s at Tramp, one of London’s most exciting new hospitality destinations. Blending contemporary elegance with the heritage of one of Mayfair’s most iconic private clubs, Jackie’s provides a relaxed and sophisticated setting for thoughtful conversation, intellectual exchange and meaningful networking.
Doors will open at 9.30 am for a 10.00 am start
The morning programme will include:
- a fireside conversation with Professor Duckworth,
- an audience Q&A,
- a book signing following a discussion
Whether you are interested in leadership, psychology, education, entrepreneurship or personal development, this promises to be a memorable morning with one of the most influential thinkers of our time.
This event is open to Wharton Club UK members only.
