How much do we truly understand about the world around us? And how often do we overestimate the certainty of our knowledge? We usually fall into the trap of overconfidence, assuming we know more than we truly do. This mindset, though subtle, can limit our growth by discouraging curiosity and new learning.
How do we solve this? Applying the concept of fixed versus growth mindsets provides a powerful framework. By comparing the fixed mindset — where abilities and intelligence are seen as unchangeable — to the growth mindset — which emphasizes adaptability, effort, and learning through challenges — we uncover how our beliefs shape our actions and potential.
Drawing on insights from Dr. Carol S. Dweck’s pioneering research, this talk explores how these mindsets influence our reactions to setbacks and opportunities. Relatable scenarios and an interactive discussion will guide to recognize the transformative power of the growth mindset.
Our potential is not fixed, but rather shaped by our willingness to learn and grow. As we reflect on where we want to go, we are reminded that adopting a growth mindset is a tool for personal development. It’s a way to unlock new possibilities in every aspect of life.
