International Women’s Day Podcast 1 – “Developing a growth mindset”
We know from research that women often face limiting beliefs; self-confidence tends to be lower in women than men. We’ll explore how to develop a growth mind-set, so we understand our true value at work and the potential of our career aspirations. This will build on the neuroscience and studies of growth vs fixed mind-sets.
We’ll be exploring key themes that help us move from a fixed to a growth mindset:
