Fixed mindset or Growth mindset? What is a mindset?

This episode, we look at the two mindsets that Carol Dweck describes. Though we aren't one or the other in every situation, it's interesting to consider where we might hold a little lighter our perceptions of our own intelligence, ability and skill. We discuss how our language and inner narratives effects our mindset; how mindset impacts our relationships, work lives and interactions; and how our upbringing effects our conditions of worth, and how this impacts us during challenges and rejections. Finally, we discuss ways to change our mindsets through embracing them, understanding our triggers, and seeking feedback to inform more daring decisions.

Hope you enjoy.
