Adopting a Growth Mindset | Kristen Harcourt

Are you in a fixed mindset or a growth mindset? A fixed mindset is when you have scarcity thinking, while a growth mindset is thinking from a place of possibilities. You can shift from a fixed mindset at any point; it’s just a matter of choosing and allowing yourself to create new patterns.
In this episode of the Inspirational Leadership podcast, Kristen discusses the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset and how to adopt a growth mindset.
