Success at work isn't solely determined by your skills or
qualifications. Your mindset also plays a pivotal role in shaping your
professional journey and achieving your career goals.
Mindset has quite a few facets: growth mindset and attitude are a
couple. It has an enormous impact on your resilience and mental health.
It's the mental health connection that I focused on a bit more in this
episode with Laura Terrell. Laura is a coach and was a former special
advisor to the US President. She's also a lawyer. I figure she probably
knows a thing or two about mindset. Like:
š¤ You can work on your mindset. It's not a static thing. And it's
starts with being intentional about it.
š„ When something upsetting has happened... give yourself the space to
be upset. Then: how to I move forward from here so this doesn't define
your job?
š¤¬ When something bad happens, sometimes we feel justified in our anger
and vent enthusiastically to friends... it may not be that helpful.
What you should do is go for a walk or do something you like. THEN
consider an appropriate reaction. A break may create objectivity.
šØ We self-limit too often. We don't ask questions because we fear the
answer. Or we tell ourselves "I don't have all the qualifications."
