Speaking with a growth mindset is music to my ears.
I can’t WAIT to see you prove yourself wrong and grow in ways you didn’t think you could 🤜🤛
Do you ever catch yourself using limiting self talk? Here are a few examples of how this sounds with fixed mindset:
>> I’ll never be able to do XYZ
>> It’s just not in my DNA
>> I’ve always been this way; this is just who I am
>> I don’t have the time to
On the flip side, with a growth mindset you might say things like:
>> I’m going to need to practice
>> I’d like to learn how to do XYZ
>> This is really challenging right now
>> It will take a lot of effort
>> I’ll have to put in some hard work
Fixed and growth mindsets sit on opposite ends of a mindset spectrum. When you start taking ownership of developing your skills and abilities, you become more coachable.
