Cultivating Growth Mindset

YMCA WorkWell Team • September 11, 2024
Sometimes we get stuck, at work or in our home lives. If we catch ourselves thinking or saying things like, "There is no point in trying that; it just won't work" or "Things are never going to get any better around here" or "We tried that before and it went nowhere", you may be stuck in fixed mindset. Instead, we want to cultivate growth mindset more often, where we can be curious, learn and grow both as individuals and as teams. In this workshop, we'll learn to recognize when we're in fixed or growth mindset, and develop some practical strategies for cultivating growth mindset more often.
