Hazlon (Haze) Schepmyer

For as long as she can remember, Hazlon (Haze) Schepmyer has been encouraging people to consider the unique strengths they reliably bring to difficult situations. She became an official Gritty Guru in 2019 after losing the best job ever and then deciding to create the best job ever! For Haze, the best job EVER is one in which she gets to facilitate conversations that help people to know, grow and show their GRIT (i.e., one’s default setting when navigating obstacles and challenges).

Haze has honed her GRIT in various settings over the last three decades and those experiences informed her unique approach to self-exploration and self-discovery. Haze is a sought-after speaker, giving presentations and facilitating workshops across Europe, the United States and Canada.

Know, Grow and Show Your GRIT serves as the testimony and culmination of Schepmyer's own ability to conquer personal and professional challenges while coaching others to navigate through their own circumstances. Schepmyer is the founder of Gritty Guru Company, a consulting firm that approaches problem-solving from a non-traditional point of view. Her experiences as an entrepreneur and facilitator are sprinkled throughout Know, Grow and Show Your GRIT.

This book will offer anyone who seeks to reach their goals the necessary skills to stay on the path that aligns with who they are and their future. Though each person's journey is unique and laced with situation-specific complexities, Know, Grow and Show Your GRIT provides a powerful way forward that is nurtured internally instead of cultivated externally.
