Ways to develop a GROWTH MINDSET

A growth mindset is the belief that our basic abilities can be developed and improved through dedication and hard work. With a growth mindset, we can break through the stuck-ness and achieve the results we desire, whether that be at work, in our relationships or in other aspects of our lives.

Do you believe that you were born and raised with a fixed set of skills and abilities that you had from birth and will stay with you your entire life? Or do you believe that your ideas and beliefs are ever evolving, that you can learn new skills if you work at it, and that your wisdom and intelligence grows with each experience? If you said “yes” to the first question, you have a “fixed mindset.” If you said “yes” to the second question, you have a “growth mindset.”
