What Having a "Growth Mindset" Actually Means

What Having a "Growth Mindset" Actually Means 9 Feb 2022 --- Individuals who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others tend to achieve more than those who believe their talents are innate gifts. 00:00 The meaning of "growth mindset" has become distorted 00:59 Misconception 1: "I already have it, and I always have" 01:27 Misconception 2: A growth mindset is just about praising and rewarding effort 01:54 Misconception 3: Just espouse a growth mindset, and good things will happen 02:16 Here are some traits of companies that encourage growth mindset 02:50 But, we all have our own fixed-mindset triggers to overcome This is because they worry less about looking smart and they put more energy into learning. When entire companies embrace a growth mindset, their employees report feeling far more empowered and committed; they also receive far greater organizational support for collaboration and innovation.

How to Control Your Emotions During a Difficult Conversation: The Harvard Business Review Guide

How to Control Your Emotions During a Difficult Conversation: The Harvard Business Review Guide 2 Mar 2022 --- When you’re in the middle of a conflict, it’s common to automatically enter a “fight or flight” mentality. But it’s possible to interrupt this response and clear a path towards a more productive discussion. 00:00 Have you ever lost control during a heated argument at work? 00:28 Emotions are a chemical response to a difficult situation. 01:35 To stay calm, first acknowledge and label your feelings. 02:25 Next, focus on your body. 03:32 Use visualizations. 04:19 Focus on your breath. 04:52 Repeat a calming phrase or mantra. 05:08 Ok. Let’s review. Start by taking a deep breath and focusing on your body. Repeat a mantra to yourself such as “This isn’t about me,” “This will pass,” or “This is about the business.” And try to distance yourself from the negative emotion you’re feeling by labeling it: “He is so wrong about that and it’s making me mad becomes I’m having the thought that my coworker is wrong, and I’m feeling anger.” And don’t forget the value of taking a break. The more time you give yourself to process your emotions, the less intense they are likely to be.
