In this episode, we explore the differences between a growth mindset, where individuals believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and perseverance, and a fixed mindset, where individuals believe that their abilities are ingrained and cannot be changed.

 

There is a ton of information about mindset out in the media and some of it can be a bit confusing. Here we’ll discuss the impact of mindset on our approach to challenges, failure, and learning. And how cultivating a growth mindset can lead to greater resilience, motivation, and ultimately, success as we explore the strategies discussed in renowned Psychologist Carol Dweck’s, best-selling book, Mindset – The New Psychology of Success. Dr. Dweck’s ground-breaking research revolutionizes our understanding of human potential and the power of our beliefs about intelligence and success.  

 

Debbie and Dave share personal stories about their development of a growth mindset and how it has impacted their lives in a profound way. They also talk about the steps for identifying whether you have a fixed or growth mindset and how to transition to a growth mindset inspired by Carol Dweck’s research. Discover how you can unlock your full potential for growth and achievement through a mindset makeover.
