QUOTES

Dr. Carla explains that the growth mindset applies to all aspects of life: The growth mindset isn't limited. You don't just get one bucket of it. You can use it in all areas of your life. It might take some thinking to kind of like transfer it but you can just say, ‘Hey, look at how capable I am over here.'"

Dr. Carla discusses the need to make your work visible in the workplace: "A really interesting thing about influence is you can produce great results, but if people don't see them, it's like they didn't happen. And so the second piece is helping make your results visible. Sometimes that's some self promotion, sometimes that's making sure that the right people see it." 

Dr. Carla introduces her format for applying Performance Science Principles: "The 1-3-9 strategic framework is just a way to really clarify and distill it so it's like a one-page visual that they can look at and say, I know what my goal is, which is the one. I know what are the three most important critical priorities — think of those as the big gears that really drive you forwards. And then the nine is where we capture some of the detail in those priorities."
