Unlocking The Potential Of A Growth Mindset

While attending a conference a few years ago, I stumbled into a talk on “Growth Mindset,” a concept I knew nothing about. It was one of those moments that completely upended my understanding of talent and intelligence. The speaker challenged my core beliefs, revealing that intelligence isn’t fixed at birth and that persistence trumps talent. This revelation had profound implications for how I viewed my own potential and the way I praised others. Embracing a growth mindset means believing that abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence. This simple yet transformative idea can lead to significant improvements in personal and professional growth.
