Executive Education – Leveraging a Growth Mindset for Personal, Team, and Organizational Success

Fostering Agility, Innovation, and Performance for Lasting Impact Our view of the skills and capabilities we possess has a tremendous impact on our performance, happiness, and ability to learn. By believing in our potential for personal and professional growth, and pursuing each through communication, collaboration, innovation, and openly addressing challenges and stumbling blocks, we create new opportunities to grow and develop. This one-day workshop will focus on the principles of growth mindset, using the research of Carol Dweck and her colleagues as a foundation. This interactive program is designed to help you embrace challenges as opportunities, to be more resilient in the face of adversity, to pursue your goals with reckless abandon, and to help others do so as well. We will focus on your own development of a growth mindset as well as ways to influence your workplace and team to adopt this way of thinking. The program will be highly interactive, focusing not only on understanding growth mindset and related concepts, but on exercises and discussions to actively develop these skillsets. You will apply program learnings to your real-world environment in consultation with other like-minded participants, as well as develop a personal action plan to take you forward.
