FROM STUCK TO STRONG: GROWTH MINDSET

Gisselle Hernandez

Onboarding Specialist @ Leap

Why is it that some people grow and change and others stay the same? Having a growth mindset really affects the kind of choices that we make and how our lives are lived out. Come with an area of growth that you feel helpless and cynical about (ex. I’m so awkward, I don’t know how to talk to people, I’m so bad at cooking, My English is still so poor, I haven’t achieved enough) and our workshop can help you to re-frame the issue, and move towards positive change.
