WISH North West - Developing a Growth Mind Set

This event is aimed at those women facing a transition in their lives, perhaps moving into a new role, thinking about applying for a promotion or coping with new responsibilities and change. With a focus on developing the whole person, Pam will help us to think differently about the challenges facing us.

Far from our qualities being carved in stone, a growth mind set argues that these qualities are simply the starting point for development and can be cultivated through effort, application and experience. Our mind set determines and influences our thoughts, behaviours and actions; with hard work, determination and perseverance, it is possible to achieve what at first seems out of our reach.

In this session, we will be looking in greater depth at what mind set is, the factors that influence how mind set is formed and how a mind set might manifest in our behaviours, capacity to deal with challenge and our engagement with feedback. We will also look at some techniques for recognising and challenging our mind set, and setting ourselves goals for success. It will be an interactive session with opportunities to explore and experiment.
