The growth mindset, a concept pioneered by Carol Dweck and developed further by David Yeager, has made a significant impact in the fields of education and personal and professional development. This framework emphasizes how abilities and intelligence can evolve through dedication and effort. The brain is like a muscle that grows stronger and smarter when it undergoes rigorous learning experiences.
This mindset shift is a critical framework in my executive coaching practice because the research shows how we can motivate ourselves, learn from disappointments and failures and improve performance.
