FIXED OR GROWTH? Who am I?Michael Jordan I’ve missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot...and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed.

BASIC BRAIN FACTS Adult human brain weighs a little over 3 lbs. It is about the size of a small grapefruit and can fit in the palm of your hand. The brain works ceaselessly, even when we are asleep. Although it represents only about 2 percent of our body weight, it consumes nearly 20-25 percent of our calories! David Sousa’s How the Brain Learns

Your mindset is an important part of your personality, but you CAN change yours.

HOW CAN YOU LEARN TO CHANGE FROM A FIXED MINDSET TO A GROWTH MINDSET?
21
1. LEARN TO HEAR YOUR FIXED MINDSET VOICE AS YOU: FACE A CHALLENGE HIT A SETBACK FACE CRITICISM WHAT MIGHT YOUR FIXED MINDSET VOICE SAY?
22
2. RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE A CHOICE
23
3. TALK BACK TO THE FIXED VOICE WITH A GROWTH MINDSET VOICE “Are you sure you can do it? Maybe you don’t have the talent.” “What if you fail—you’ll be a failure.” “If you don’t try, you can protect yourself and keep your dignity.” “It’s not my fault, it’s something or someone else’s fault.” How will your growth mindset voice respond?
24
4. TAKE THE GROWTH MINDSET ACTION take on the challenge whole-heartedly learn from your setbacks and try again hear the criticism and act on it—it is now in your hands!
26
Remember the Little Engine That Could? The message in your mind should always be that if you try hard enough and prepare well you can accomplish great things. I think I can…I think I can… I KNOW I can…I KNOW I can…
27
Believe you can. Believe you can’t. Either way you are right.
