How do you react when something goes wrong?

Do you get frustrated and only focus on the problem? Or do you see the opportunity to learn and grow?

As a leader, you need to be resilient and having a growth mindset is key to make sure you don’t lose your mind!

Dr. Carol Dweck is famous for bringing the concept of a growth mindset to the world stage. It is a pretty simple concept, when you shift your thinking from negative and problems to positive and solutions, you are more successful and happier.

What’s not to love?

But I know it’s not always easy, especially at your level when the stakes are high and the pressure from above is fierce. I know this feeling only too well. 

Have there been times where you faced a setback? How did you react, was it negatively by catastrophizing and speaking down to yourself or was it positively where you saw it as a lesson and tried to learn from it to better yourself?

If you find yourself with a fixed mindset, you can change it and that’s exactly what I share in this episode.
