Do you ever feel like you're not good enough at work, or worry you're falling behind in your career or business? In this empowering episode of But First, She Failed, host Paola Soares juxtaposes a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset in various scenarios— especially in the workplace.
If you’re a woman chasing big dreams but battling low confidence, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure, this episode is for you. We go beyond mindset theory and get real about how these mindsets show up in everyday work scenarios — from getting passed up for a promotion to launching your first offer as an entrepreneur.
💼 Examples we explore include:
-
What happens when you don’t get the job or promotion you hoped for
-
How mindset affects pitching big ideas, leading teams, or switching careers
-
The difference in how women with a growth vs. fixed mindset react to feedback
-
Why comparison at work or in business can either empower you — or shut you down
-
How to move through imposter syndrome moments with grace and self-compassion
In this episode you’ll learn whether you are operating from a growth mindset or a fixed mindset when it comes to your career, business and personal life. This and more.
