What is the difference between Fixed v Growth Mindset? Lucy Whitehall and I discussed this on Episode 3 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.
Lucy told me:
“this work by Carol Dweck was essentially postulating that it’s the way that we approach challenge and difficulty in life that really leads to the outcome. So are we going to approach it with a mindset that is what she calls fixed, this idea of really not seeing the opportunity. Also this concept of seeing failure as the end …
people with a growth mindset they will also feel disappointed, hurt and sad when they fail but what they do differently is to pick themselves up and say yes this hurts this feels really uncomfortable, I don’t want to fail
but they then start asking themselves I wonder what I can do differently next time, who can I talk to, what resources can I draw on, what can I learn and who can I learn it from”.

I first met Lucy on a course on change that she presented. It really resonated with me as she introduced me to Carol Dweck’s work on the growth mindset and neuroscience concepts. This inspired me to start my personal development journey, which helped bring about the “Reframe & Reset Your Career” podcast, thank you Lucy!
