Mindset, and the dichotomy of a "fixed" vs. "growth" mindset, has come up often in the podcast and in nearly every workshop, program, or training NuMinds develops. That's because it's so foundational to nurturing a full human being ready to survive and thrive in a 21st century landscape that demands adaptability, humility, and a willingness to embrace challenge and feedback.

Today's guest is Shannon Anderson, award-winning author and teacher who has been featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and in USA Today. She's taken her wisdom from teaching growth mindset very directly and explicitly with students and leveraged it into a unique portfolio of children's books focused on the topic. I've been talking mindset with smart people for years, but I've never come across someone with Shannon's breadth of both passion and practical understanding of this lynchpin of learning and development.

Educators, parents, and those interested in self-development will find inspiration and tools. Shannon's enthusiasm is contagious, and her analogies and props are the tell-tale sign of a master teacher!

Creatives and aspiring authors...stay tuned until the end, when I pick her brain about her creative process as an author. ;)
