Course Description

A fixed mindset can keep us from seeking learning opportunities and developing professionally. When you want to meet your goals, it helps to have a growth mindset. You’ll be more likely to seek out opportunities for development if you believe that you have agency in your successes and that your talents are the result of hard work instead of luck. So what’s the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset? We’ll help you learn!

In this course, we discuss how a learning mindset ties into achievement orientation and how you can work toward developing new skills and expertise.
