What is a growth mindset?

by Susie Doenhoff on 2023-01-30T15:25:00+01:00 in General Study | 0 Comments

A growth mindset is the belief that one's abilities and intelligence can be developed and improved through effort, learning, and experience. People with a growth mindset embrace challenges, see failures as opportunities for growth and learning, and persist in the face of difficulties.

In contrast, a fixed mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence are innate and cannot be changed, leading to a fear of challenges, a tendency to give up easily, and a focus on avoiding failure rather than embracing growth. Adopting a growth mindset can lead to increased motivation, better learning outcomes, and greater success in personal and professional life.


Here are some tips to cultivate a growth mindset:

  1. Embrace challenges and see them as opportunities for growth.
  2. Focus on effort over outcome.
  3. Embrace feedback and use it as a tool for improvement.
  4. Be open-minded and willing to try new things.
  5. Embrace failure and see it as a step towards success.
  6. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people.
