160: Growth Mindset

Listen Later

Today on the podcast we’re chatting about Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset:

Growth Mindset:

  • Definition: A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed with effort, learning, and persistence.
  • Characteristics: Embracing challenges, persisting through setbacks, seeing effort as a path to mastery, learning from criticism, and finding inspiration in others’ success.
  • Example: A person with a growth mindset will likely believe that they can improve their painting skills through practice and learning.

    • Fixed Mindset:

    • Definition: A fixed mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence are static traits that cannot be significantly developed.
    • Characteristics: Avoiding challenges, giving up easily, seeing effort as fruitless, ignoring useful feedback, and feeling threatened by others’ success.
    • Example: A person with a fixed mindset might believe that they are either naturally talented at painting or not, and no amount of practice can change that.

      • Be sure to listen to the podcast where I share 10 Fixed Mindset Statements (such as “I can’t draw”) that you can easily transform to Growth Mindset Statements (such as “I don’t know how to draw yet, but I can improve my drawing skills with practice and dedication.”)
