Growth Mindset

Having a growth mindset means that you believe that abilities come from dedication and hard work, as opposed to a fixed mindset, which believes qualities are fixed and success can come from talent alone. Source

In my professional life, prioritizing a growth mindset means that I’ll be able to continually build skills and adapt to each work environment.

3 Reminders for how I can keep a growth mindset are:

• Reminder 1: Remember times in the past that I’ve learned new, challenging skills.
• Reminder 2: Remember that growth is inevitable, and that staying still is boring.
• Reminder 3: Think of successful public figures (such as my personal fave, Beyoncé), and remember that her talent plus the skills she’s learned over the years are what have made her excel as an artist. 👑 🐝
