“The Innovator’s mindset can be defined as the belief that the abilities, intelligence, and talents are developed so that they lead to the creation of new and better ideas. ” - Excerpt From The Innovator's Mindset, George Couros

Couros begins this second episode of Mindset Monday with a brief reflection on last week’s episode about effort. This week, Couros focuses on obstacles. Throughout this episode of Mindset Monday, Couros shares ways he has “bounced forward.”

Quotes:

“People who cultivate a growth mindset are more resilient in the face of setbacks or obstacles. The growth mindset, after all, relishes the process of learning, not achievement” - The Growth Mindset Coach, Annie Brock & Heather Hundley

“By altering the way we look at the challenges above (and many others that I haven’t listed), we can shift from a mindset of obstacles to one of opportunities. This is the embodiment of the Innovator’s Mindset.” - Couros, George; Novak, Katie, Innovate Inside the Box: Empowering Learners Through UDL and the Innovator's Mindset

Resilience doesn’t just mean getting back to normal after facing a difficult situation. It means learning from the process in order to become stronger and better at tackling the next challenge.”- Donna Volpitta
