an inquiry into the power of our beliefs, both conscious and unconscious
and how changing even the simplest of them can have profound impact on nearly every aspect of our lives.
Mindset – what is it?

Mindset – what is it?
7
Is intelligence something that is inherited or something that can be developed?
Mindset – what is it?
8
1. Can you learn new things?
2. Can you really change how intelligent you are?
3. No matter how intelligent you are, can you always get better, can you sometimes improve (maybe a lot)?
Insights of Fixed and Growth
Fixed Mindset (FM): Intelligence/talent is a fixed trait
- abilities cannot change...Myth of the “natural”
Growth Mindset (GM): Intelligence is a malleable quality
- a potential that can be developed
- abilities can change (grow)...Talent is a starting point

Insights of Fixed and Growth – attitude
10
The brain is static, talent is permanent
Look clever at all times and at all costs
Unchanging personal attributes bring success.
You must be smart at this!Look smart, don’t risk making mistakes!
It’s importantfor me to learn new things
Insights of Fixed and Growth – attitude
11
Insights of Growth – ability
12
cultivate the abilities
the belief that everyone can improve over time.
talents or skills - something that can be developed through practice…
Insights of Fixed and Growth – effort
13
Effort is a bad thing.
For those with no talent!
Learning should come naturally!
Enhanced ability,path to mastery
Motivate to overcomechallenging work
If you were smart , you wouldn’t need effort!
Insights of Fixed and Growth – setbacks
14
And if you don’t have it, you will never have it.. => defines your identity
Give up and retreat to comfort zone
Blame others for your failures
Mistakes are part of learning
Capitalize on mistakes
Confront deficiencies
You just don’t have it,hide your mistakes
Insights of Fixed and Growth – setbacks
15
“You have to be pretty much flawless.
And you have to be flawless right away.”
by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.
Insights of Fixed and Growth – beliefs(about yourself, about others)
16
Based on little information
Quick to stereotype
Threatened by other people's success
Find inspiration in others
Don’t ignore information about others,is not all black / white
Quick to judge others
17
The tyranny of now – advantage of not yet
Am I happy when I work out hard and see improvement?
Or am I looking around at others and think that I’m not just as strong/fast/fit/ ______ as others?
Not Yet - learning curve, path to the future you

20
The tyranny of now – goals setting
21
Performance goals
Learning goals
MASTERY and COMPETENCE
Scores reflect how people are doing NOW
Validation from others
Both success and failure cause ANXIETY
22
Praise – junky and panacea
23
Some thoughts on feedback
24
Bridge to yet
Fail your way to the future
25
Some of us
Don’t think that they are failing, So BLAME NO ONE
KEEP GOING
Remain HOPEFUL that they will get there
BLAME
Feel DEPRESSED
GIVE UP trying
Fail your way to the future
26
The worst mistake anyone can make is being too afraid to make one
Fail your way to the future
