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.

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.
