Having a growth mindset has become a point of emphasis in classrooms today. As teachers, we teach our students that through practice, hard work, and perseverance, they’re able to learn new skills, talents, and abilities. However, as adults, when it’s time to take the plunge into a new career and work beyond the classroom, that mindset is hard for us to put into action.

In order to take action, there are 3 key steps to cultivating a growth mindset, which are to normalize and embrace the struggle, put in the work, and take “just right” risks. Throughout the episode, I focus on these 3 steps and share positive advice and tips on how they can impact your own life.

Hard work, learning, and feedback are 3 aspects that show how having a growth mindset can develop your own personal talents. Keeping those in mind, along with the 3 action steps, will give you a positive and growth mindset for working beyond the classroom.
