In this wrap up conversation on Growth, LJ interviews Jane on her awareness of her own growth. “What growth means to me is letting go of preconceived notions,” she says. The preconceived notion she must let go of is her dislike of psychological jargon such as the word 'growth mindset' which became popular about ten years ago after the publication of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University. 

“Research links the growth mindset with many benefits, including: greater comfort with taking personal risks and striving for more stretching goals; higher motivation; enhanced brain development across wider ranges of tasks; lower stress, anxiety and depression; better work relationships; and higher performance levels.”

Perhaps the entrance of psychological jargon into the vernacular is a sign of cultural growth?
