What About Our Own Growth Mindset (Part 2)?

We have written about psychologist Carol Dweck and her ideas on developing a growth mindset, an attitude that embraces challenge and ongoing learning, in past blog posts.

People who bring these qualities to the workplace will also develop their own professional skills and contribute to the success of the organization.Read Dweck’s article to learn more about how and why to bring a growth mindset to your own workplace: https://planetexpat.org/2018/01/15/growth-mindset-professional-development/Article by Elizabeth Sautter, M.A., CCC-SLPSpeech Language Pathologist & Executive Director of Communication Works
