The Growth Mindset: 01. Understanding Fixed and Growth Mindsets
Learning objectives
- Discover the meaning of fixed and growth mindsets and how they impact our attitudes on our own accomplishments, failures, decisions, and more. Learn how to use each mindset for your own benefit.
Course overview
Perhaps you've heard people throwing around the phrase "growth mindset" lately. It's a popular topic right now. The source of all the chatter is Stanford professor, Carol Dweck's 2006 book called Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Throughout her book, Dweck compares a GROWTH mindset with a FIXED mindset. In this series, we'll discuss the differences between these two mindsets. For this first program, we want you to understand the importance of embracing "yet," which comes from having a growth mindset. "Yet" means that you know or expect something to happen in the future. It just hasn't happened "by now."
