9. Why Your Mindset Matters At Work
Every fortnight, Lucy and I talk through the trials and tribulations of working in the food industry. This is to help you find new ways of coping through the daily stresses and potentially avoid some of the mistakes that we have both made along the way.
In this episode, we’re talking about the Growth Mindset. The concept was created by Carol Dweck in the 1980s, a growth mindset is having the belief that your intelligence and talents are always growing and developing. The opposite of this is called a Fixed Mindset which follows the belief that your talents and traits are fixed and it’s not effort and perseverance that creates success. We talk all about developing new talents, how you can teach an old dog new tricks and how to handle your mindset if setbacks occur. The food industry is a place where you’re constantly faced with new challenges and trying to innovate, which is a fantastic place for a Growth Mindset to develop!
Some of today’s content was inspired by a webinar Amy recently attended hosted by Sarah Ellis, the Co-founder of Amazing If.
We’d love to know what your experiences of a growth or fixed mindset are, have you noticed either of these traits in your workplace or social life? And have you ever changed your lifestyle to adopt a growth mindset? Let us know on social media on instagram or LinkedIn
