EP58: MINDSET GOT YOU...Mmm? Pivoting From A Fixed Mindset To A Growth Mindset
Hey Chit Chatters!
Don’t you just love when the people around you (physically and virtually) provide you with moments of inspiration that have you saying... YAAASSS!
Well this episode comes from an inspiration from my Lindsey Pollak’s new book Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through The Changing World of Work, which is available tomorrow (03/23).
Y’all I am so excited for this book! I can wait for the world to experience it. If you want to know more about the book, I had Lindsey on the podcast late last year (2020) on Episode 34.
Today we’re going to go deep into the study of mindset, but also help you understand where you need to shift your mindset and how.
Carol Dweck, PhD, authored the book, “Mindset, The New Psychology of Success.”She compares people who have a “fixed” mindset to those who have a “growth”mindset
What’s the difference you ask?
Fixed Mindset: According to Dwek, an individual who believes that they have a particular group of qualities, traits and talents that are permanently set.
For example, “I’m terrible at math” or “I can never get that job!”
A Growth Mindset has the complete opposite approach, individuals who hold a growth mindset believe that almost any challenge can be overcome, any failure is an opportunity to grow, and any talent or ability can be improved through learning and action.
Now at this point you might already be aware of which midget represents you best. If you’re stuck on a fixed one, let work towards shifting it into growth.
In my friend Lindsey’s book she shared a powerful strategy that can help folks who want to pivot to a growth approach.
She uses a three letter word: “YET”. Instead of always thinking and believing that “you can’t do” or “you don” to any sentence add the word “yet” and it will shift to how you see, hear, believe and think about your abilities.
This just a small step to eliminate a limiting belief of what can be something great!
Here’s an example: “I don’t have the interview skills to succeed… it’s hopeless”
ASK YOURSELF: What can you do to help you prepare to improve your interviewing skills.
Now the journey to shift your mindset takes time and work in changing your behaviors. YOU NEED TO PRACTICE and remind yourself before you say I CAN’T or I DON’T of the word YET!
