Gotta Get the Grata

By Debra Walker

Talent gets you in the room. The Grata gets you chosen.

Why do some people naturally attract opportunities, earn trust quickly, and become the people others want to follow—even when they’re not the smartest, loudest, or most experienced person in the room?

The answer isn’t charisma. It’s The Grata™.
