Probably you used it before, even if you don’t know the “technical” definition, more likely you used it while you discarded a task that at that moment you know you’ll not be able to have the desired outcome.

Carol Dweck, a psychologist, and professor of psychology at Stanford University, built on the theory of neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to continue to form new connections into adulthood, after it has been damaged or when it is stimulated by new experiences.

The technical definition of mindset refers to the collection of attitudes, beliefs, and thoughts that shape an individual’s perception of themselves, their abilities, and their potential for growth. It represents the lens through which individuals interpret and respond to the world around them, including their career transitions.

Dweck introduced the concept of mindset, distinguishing between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

A fixed mindset refers to individuals who believe their talents are innate gifts whereas a growth mindset refers to individuals who believe their talents can be developed.

By developing a growth mindset, individuals can effectively navigate career transitions with resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning and personal growth. This mindset empowers them to confidently and optimistically embrace change, overcome challenges, and pursue new opportunities, using the power of their attitudes and beliefs.

Carol Dweck's theory of neuroplasticity, supports the idea that you can adopt a growth mindset at any time of life. It’s never too late to change our mindset or have a career transition.

Let’s grow our mindset ?!🧠
