We frequently hear about the tangible impact of a growth mindset on life and career. You can read everywhere that by adopting a growth mindset, you will enhance your wellbeing, become more successful and create a fulfilling life.
Everybody is talking about it, but how can we improve our positive mindset practically?
Before diving into it, and finding out a simple way to improve our positive mindset,
let’s make sure we understand what mindset stands for and how a growth one generates success. 🪄
WHAT IS MINDSET?
In the 2007 book "Mindset", the famous Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck states that mindset – rather than intelligence, talent or education – is that which distinguishes successful people from those who do not fare so well. The term mindset refers to an individual's habitual state of mind. This plays a key role in the way you carry out daily tasks, make decisions and face challenges.
We can define mindset as the way you react to situations in life.
The change in mindset is the starting point to support all the difficult and brave choices you will face as an entrepreneur or professional. This means that all the tools you need to achieve your career goals are already inside you.
However, for most people it’s a question of unlocking that which is already inside.
Let me give you an example.
If you are convinced that you cannot speak in public, this mindset will lead you to avoid all occasions when you need to show your skills in front of others. However, this mindset is bad for you because it makes you deeply insecure and if you don't change it with time, you will be more and more inclined to turn down opportunities for the fear of making mistakes.
FIXED AND GROWTH MINDSET
According to Dweck, all individuals fall into one of two categories: those who have a fixed mindset and those who have a growth mindset.
Fixed mindset. Those with a fixed mindset think that their qualities, such as intelligence, logic or talent are fixed, immutable qualities.
Growth mindset. Those who think that one's basic qualities and skills can be enhanced and refined through study and practice.
Having a fixed mindset can keep you from fulfilling your potential,whereas a growth mindset can help you achieve your goals. In the opinion of Carol Dweck, your mindset can influence your life much more than your intelligence or talent.
It is therefore essential to fully understand the difference between having a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

Do you have a fixed mindset?
Those who have a fixed mindset believe that people were born with a certain level of intelligence, certain inclinations, qualities and talents that you absolutely cannot change.
You could have a fixed mindset if you…
🥱 Give up easily
You think it is useless to be optimistic because success is already predetermined.
😨 Have a fear of challenges
You do not see difficulties as learning experiences, but instead fear losing social approval if you "fail".
😟 Seek approval
You have a strong need to be seen as intelligent and talented. As a result, you always feel the eyes of others on you.
If you have a fixed mindset, you will probably be afraid of not being smart or talented enough to achieve your goals.
Worse still, a manager with a fixed mindset may fear that his team members' achievements will exceed his or her own. If they notice that a team member spots an opportunity that they themselves did not see, they perceive it as a threat. They may even thwart the growth of their team, to avoid being singled out as managers with no skills.
The good news is that the mindset can be trained like any other our muscles!
Those with a growth mindset think that intelligence and skills are not innate but are developed through hard work, persistence, resilience, and learning from one's mistakes!
GROWTH MINDSET
The growth mindset is based on the belief that it is always possible to improve oneself. If you have a growth mindset you believe that with effort, perseverance, and passion you can develop both your innate qualities and new skills.
The concept Dweck introduces is that of intentional engagement, i.e., the ability to use feedback and mistakes as opportunities to improve, enjoy the learning process and become more effective and productive.
With a growth mindset, you most likely also believe that you can overcome any obstacle: you simply decide to learn from experience, work harder and try again until you reach your goals.
How can the growth mindset lead to success?
The growth mindset is a quality that can be useful in every field,especially in professional development.
When you realize your full capabilities and potential as a person, this not only impacts your private life, but also has a profound effect on a work team or a company.
Employees who train their growth mindsets are very willing to leap out of the comfort zone. These employees will be able to build working relationships based on innovation, on the courage to take risks and to create something new and productive, so that the individual results obtained will benefit the whole company.
The same is true for a leader who trains a growth mindset.
Leadership based on the growth mindset can become a huge asset during difficult times. Leaders with the right mindset empower everyone to succeed and grow. They instill a culture of success in the organization and show employees the way, giving them confidence and encouraging team members to constantly refine their skills and bring to light talents they did not know they had.
Today, the market and the business world require all entrepreneurs and professionals to be able to make quick decisions and get involved with innovation and technologies. It is essential, therefore, that leaders and managers work consciously to develop and sustain a growth mindset in their employees, themselves and their organizations.
Developing a growth mindset requires commitment and also courage.
One great piece of news is that Dweck has based much of her research on the theory of neuroplasticity, i.e., the brain's ability to continue forming new connections in adulthood, even after it has been damaged or when stimulated by new experiences.
The theory supports the idea that one can adopt a growth mindset at anytime in life.The only real difference between the two types of mindsets is action taken vs action never taken, due to fear and uncertainty about leaving the comfort zone. That is why a growth mindset is closely connected to coaching.

“Effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.” ― Carol S. Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology Of Success
Don’t force through low energy levels. Honor your natural energy rhythms. If you are tired at 3 p.m. every day, for example, be aware of this situation and do recreational activities.
You can try taking a quick walk, doing stretches in your office, or even taking a power nap for 10 to 20 minutes.
You won’t be working efficiently, and you’ll drain even more energy from your mind and body if you work against your rhythm.
Balance your power and energy. Sometimes you may work at maximum energy levels, but you’re not operating at optimum productivity if you do this all day long.
Don’t aim to become a nonstop robot. Instead, you can try to balance intense productivity activities with slower, “brainless” activities or breaks.
A lot of stress is made up in our mind, and it can be controlled and minimized.
1. Decide Not To Be Stressed:
Most stress is not real, and therefore, you can make the intentional decision not to be as stressed anymore. Many stress comes from false timing, making things more important than they are.
2. Breathe:
Relax by taking in deeper breaths. Let your stomach out and allow it to fill up like a balloon with air. This will help you calm down.
3. Take A Walk:
Leave your office or house and go for a 20 to 40-minute a walk outside. When you are moving and breathing, this helps you open your mind and find more calm.
4. Get Organized:
Most stress in our lives could be managed if we just organized it better. Sometimes, just knowing that you are planning on handling something tomorrow at a specific time creates peace of mind now.
Self-care is your relationship and connection to yourself.
It is crucial to understand what you need to be your most constructive, effective, and authentic to yourself.
Therefore, self-care is a mix of physical health as well as care of the mind, emotions, relationships, environment, time, and resources.
Self-care should be ideally involved naturally in your workday. The how is highly personal and should help you to connect with yourself rather than adding more todos on your list.
Some tips and inspirations
Allow yourself a break.
Value time, money, and resources, and benchmark others requests against your priority list.
Reflect on what was running well in the last weeks and take a victory lap.
Surround yourself with good people.
Update your workspace and make it a reflection of your best self.
Every leader at one stage or another has to make a stand-up presentation to a group. This is an integral part of being a good leader.
To deliver an excellent presentation:
1. Create your presentation
by researching your topic, gathering applicable anecdotes, and talking to colleagues who have the information you need.
2. Develop an outline with three parts
The beginning – where you tell them what’s coming.
The middle – where you explain what you’re saying.
The end – where you remind them of your key points.
3. Structure your argument
which will be a mix of logic, reasons, and projected results of your suggestions. Your argument should be able to be expressed in one sentence and should be a mix of fact and personality.
4. Specify your persuasive message
what you actually want listeners to do after hearing your presentation. You need to have clear in your mind what actions you want people to take if you hope to be effective.
5. Develop the first draft of your presentation
while keeping in mind your answers to a few pertinent questions:
What is your central message?
Why are you giving this presentation?
What analogies are you using to amplify your message?
Which visual images are available to illustrate things?
What specific call to action will you close with?
6. Revise your draft
by rewriting it yourself or sharing it with colleagues and asking for their input. You may also give your boss a heads-up look at your presentation to make certain you’re on track.
Venue and formal style
While developing your presentation, you’ll also need to keep in mind how and where it will be delivered. Those factors will determine how formal or informal your presentation should be.
Many corporate leaders do both – they have a brief prepared presentation which is of a formal nature and then open it up for questions-and-answers, which will be quite informal in nature.
The venue you will be using will also have an impact in this area, as will the size of your audience and the circumstances in which you are meeting.
