What is Growth Mindset?
Growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and talents can be developed, regardless of the obstacles that stand in the way. As humans, we all make mistakes and at times fail. With a fixed mindset, one isn't open to constructive feedback, is not confident in themselves and gives up easily when they face failure. By adapting to a growth mindset perspective, one believes they have the ability to learn, grow, improve and become successful.
