Are you someone who tends to think improvement is too difficult, not achievable, or often out of your control? Do you tend to fear mistakes before you make them, and then loathe them afterwards? Those may be signs of a fixed mindset, and that can really be stunting your progress, confidence, and overall joy. We need to change that. To discuss how, our session today is titled: Developing a Growth Mindset: How to Grow Beyond Your Fixed Thinking Our expert guest today is Dr. Carly Anderson, founder and Senior Principal Sport Psychologist for Premier Sport Psychology, and she is going to help us answer our big three questions: 1. What is a growth mindset—and why does it matter? 2. Why do we tend to default to a fixed mindset and what are the consequences? 3. What steps can we take to build a growth mindset so we can flourish in both life and work? How to start a Mayo Clinic Human Optimization Project “Pod-Club”: Step 1: Find 2-30 friends who want to get better Step 2: Choose your episodes (can be focused on specific themes or random) Step 3: Listen to/watch the episodes Step 4: Meet with your group to work through the provided discussion questions in the PDF for each episode, and feel free to add your own! Step 5: Celebrate the fact that you are turning passive knowledge into action! Discussion Questions for this Episode: 1) After reviewing this episode, how do you personally define a "growth mindset"? 2) Many of the benefits of having a growth mindset are obvious, but some are not as obvious. Which of the benefits of having a growth mindset was the most surprising, or most impactful to you? 3) List at least 5 common behaviors or habits you have that tend to highlight a "fixed mindset." Now list 5 that highlight your ability to have a "growth mindset." 4) We all tend to spend some time with a fixed mindset, and some in a growth mindset. What are the things (triggers) that commonly push you towards a fixed mindset rather than growth? Now that you've named them, how can you be on the lookout for them? 5) In what areas of your life are you worried about failure? What is it about that failure that you actually fear? What steps can you take to work through this? 6) In section three of the podcast, we listed over 10 steps you can take to move towards a "growth mindset." Pick three of these that most resonated with you and discuss why you think those three can be impactful in your life? 7) Tell your group at least one new thing (action step) you are going to do or behavior you are going to adopt to improve your growth mindset. 8) After others list the "one new thing" of "action step" they are going to do, help them refine that to make it clear: clear, objective, measurable, and simple. The more we can make our actions clear, objective, measurable, and simple, the more likely we are to do them and enjoy the process!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
