Amber speaks with PhD social psychologist and researcher, Dr. Omid Fotuhi. Dr. Fotuhi explains how different mindsets affect resilience, motivation, and performance. He shares how experiences as well as environments shape our mindsets, and how shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset can lead to better outcomes, especially in challenging or high-stakes situations. Dr. Fotuhi breaks down the process through which a growth mindset encourages resilience and self-compassion, and the secret to balancing process with outcome. He addresses misconceptions about grit, including why relying on sheer determination can do more harm than good. He reveals why self-compassion plays a crucial role in long-term resilience, persistence, and success. Dr. Fotuhi offers practical suggestions for reshaping mindsets, challenging self-doubt, and tracking personal progress to improve motivation, resilience, and performance.
