What does it take to believe? That question is what Dimple and Jeff explore as we dive into  Season 3, Episode 5 – Signs. 

This week pulls together all the major themes of positive psychology–topics like self-limiting beliefs, the inner critic, the question of do I matter, intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, and validation, and most importantly, growth mindset. As Dimple and Jeff dive deeper into these areas they look at what it means to operate from above and below the line and about not being tied to outcomes and the power of “yet.” On the leadership front they talk about what it takes to provide meaningful feedback and why the compliment sandwich is the worst mistake a leader can make.
