When do we stop growing? Sure we stop growing physically at some point, but maintaining a growth mindset is vital to our success both professionally and personally. You have to believe that you are able to learn new things, tackle new tasks, and take on new responsibilities. No one knows the importance of maintaining a growth mindset more than Danielle McCombs, our guest on this week's episode of The Unconventional Leadership Podcast. Tune in to learn more about growth mindset and how to apply it to all areas of your life!

Main Points from the Episode:

Growth happens best when you understand your learning style

Growth leads to opportunities

Growth mindset is for everyone

Be curious and ask questions 

Quotes from the Episode:

The best way to define growth mindset is your belief in your ability to learn, not your ability in playing the saxophone, or your ability in algebra, but your ability to learn those things.

There are also places where you can have a fixed mindset in some things and a growth mindset in others. It's not an either-or.

We want to build up individuals who think intentionally about themselves and those around them, both professionally and personally.

So much of what you do is helping give people the confidence and the voice to own who they are. Building that confidence and being willing to be bold in whatever your past says, this might be part of your past, but it doesn't define your future.
