Why Our Mindset Matters

How can we develop change resilient leadership capabilities?

To successfully build a vibrant culture of innovation and continuous improvement, everyone needs to be engaged in the incremental changes that allow us to achieve our potential and best practices. To do this, we need to first understand how our own beliefs impact on our personal and team’s success.

Karen will delve into the research of Dr. Carol Dweck, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist and author of ‘Mindset – the new psychology of success’. Her interactive, fun and experimental session will explore why our own mindset matters when it comes to delivering outcomes. She will discuss practical ways to turn every challenge into an exciting opportunity.

This session will help HR and business leaders to understand how to release potential in their people and to develop a culture of high performance, not high burn-out!
