Growth Mindset Ideas
Change your mind. That’s why you’re here.
Education is different from learning. Organized education leads to degrees and certificates, but not always learning.
Learning requires curiosity, willingness to admit that you don’t know something, and readiness to take steps to close the gap.
Recently, I was in a meeting where two participants came unprepared. They thought they masked their unpreparedness, but they didn’t. It showed. If only, instead of covering up, they agreed to what happened, we could have moved faster on the agenda. In the pretense, conversation felt like it moved, but it was where we started.
There’s no shame in not knowing, but there is shame in pretending you do.
Come prepared.
Do the reading.
Show your work.
Ask questions.
Clarify assumptions.
Welcome corrections gracefully and be open to considering alternatives.
You are part of the conversation to improve, to make it better, and to find the best solution together.
Be willing to change your mind; it’s the reason you're in the room, the meeting, the project, and the conversation.
Change your mind. That’s why you are here. #Growth Mindset
Life lessons that you can’t afford to ignore
How to Ace Every Meeting You’re In?
Meetings are opportunities to demonstrate clarity, reliability, and leadership, regardless of your role.
Be the person who makes the meeting better just by showing up. Not louder. Not longer. Just sharper, humbler, and ready to contribute.
Prep shows respect. Do the reading. Know the context. It’s obvious when you are unprepared and it slows everyone down.
Clear beats clever. Say less, mean more. Speak when it helps, not just to have airtime.
Ask the question no one wants to. If you're confused, others probably are too. Be the one who clears the fog.
Don’t fake it. Own it. Didn’t finish the doc? Just say so. Honesty builds trust; pretending kills it.
Actually listen. Don’t wait to talk.
Quiet reliability > loud promises.Follow through. If you say you’ll do something, do it.
Let your ideas evolve. Being right is less important than getting it right. Be open to better.

What belief, assumption, or opinion have you rethought because someone offered a perspective you hadn’t considered before?
