Shoremates,

In Chapter 7, we cover how mindsets influence parents, teachers, and coaches.

Shout out to this podcasts sponsor, Nautical Teas.  Gourmet, delicious, loose leaf teas.  Each tea you see at www.nauticalteas.com has been handcrafted with you in mind.  If you love tea and this podcast, check it out today.  

In this episode, we talk about how a fixed and a growth mindset make an extreme difference when it comes to our everyday relationships and how we interact with others.   

Action Items:

1. If you are a parent, pay close attention to how you are talking with your kids.  Are you saying things such as “you are smart.” Which leads to a fixed mindset or “that was a smart thing to do.” Leading to a growth mindset?
2. If you have a teaching role, have you subconsciously thought that your students were smart or they were not?  What can you do today to help lead your students towards a growth mindset?

Shoremates, once again, I understand that this episode can be a lot, as it can challenge entire belief systems from when you were growing up.  Relisten to it as much as you need to, give yourself grace, and I would highly recommend adding this book to your book shelf to see her studies yourself.

Always, always remember.  

You’ve got this.
