Strathmore University Developing Skills & Strategies for Success Discussion

 

Do you believe that with effort and skill development you can achieve what you set your mind to? Or, do you believe that you are not in control of your abilities and get discouraged when mistakes are made? This discussion explores the concepts of growth and fixed mindsets as well as the role grit plays in goal achievement

Reflect

  • Review these common fixed mindset statements:
    • Either I’m good at something or I’m not.
    • I can’t learn now; it’s too late.
    • There’s no point in trying if I’m going to fail.
    • I take feedback as a personal attack.
    • I always struggle with this task.
    • I can’t make this any better; it is what it is.
    • I already know everything I need to know.
    • I know that I can’t do this.
