Growth Mindset

Have you ever met someone who said some thing like; "well, I'm not good at that!" If you've ever heard this, or even said it, then that is fixed mindset speak. Growth mindset offers to teach all of us how to suppress fixed mindset dialogue and replace it with growth mindset thinking. With Growth Mindset, we learn the power of YET! This super power ability helps us understand that if we don't know something, can't do something, or are unable to achieve something, that we only can't do it YET. It does not mean you can't do, and never will do it. Just that you can't do it yet. It is a fundamental part of learning that we learn from our mistakes, that we challenge ourselves and ask what it is we can do in order to learn something. When I first learned about growth mindset, I realized I had a fixed mindset in many aspects of my life, including personal ones, or ones outside of work. Growth mindset helped me understand that I can achieve whatever it is I set out to do.
