Practical, research-backed tools
'Growth mindsets' are globally recognised as valuable for academic and career performance, however, most mindset training and courses provide a generic and vague understanding of the practical and performance implications of mindset-related concepts.
​
My work with clients involves a deep-dive into our beliefs relating to performance, how they have influenced the strategies and behaviors we've adopted, and our instinctive responses to setbacks and challenges.
There are three elements to improvement: Awareness of the impact of our beliefs and behaviors; The source of these limiting beliefs and practical tools to shift our mindset and performance
The practical impact of mindset on our goals
Beliefs
Fixed and Growth Mindsets are popular terms for the implicit beliefs that influence the adaptability, lifelong learning habits and resilience of individuals. While true, these are generic concepts that are not helpful to effect change. Mindset research provides valuable insight into the deeper implications and sources of our beliefs around learning and performance. We discuss specific beliefs around learning, performance, effort and struggle and failure that allow people to identify their beliefs and build awareness of their influence in their lives and goals.
Behaviors
Our beliefs and experiences influence and embed our behaviors and goal orientation. Our focus on performance over learning and result over process influences the level and type of effort we apply to achieve our goals. Our experiences and feedback have built our daily strategies and habits, that may require change as our goals shift, but will remain static if not interrogated with a growth mindset.
Responses to challenges
Our interpretations of feedback, challenges, effort and how the world 'should' work influences whether and how we 'step forward' or disengage when things get tough. This can manifest as procrastination, changing goals to try prevent future setbacks, developing or maintaining inappropriate strategies and habits that don't serve the goal, missing deadlines, avoiding feedback, not asking for guidance and help and sometimes disengaging actively or passively from our goals.
The group sessions provide members with the insights to consider these concepts in relation to themselves, and the individual coaching sessions provide them with the opportunity of exploring how these impact their specific challenges and situations.
The Sessions
Each session is an hour, and includes interaction and questions related to the concepts we cover.
Three elements are covered with each topic: Awareness of the impact of our beliefs and behaviors, the source of our habits and beliefs, and practical tools to develop habits designed to make progress towards our goals
Mindset
Our introduction to the series and mindset-related topics - What are our beliefs regarding learning and performance. What are our instinctive responses to setbacks and criticism? How does this impact our goals and habits and how do we shift these if needed?
Procrastination
Why do we avoid, procrastinate and delay the execution of tasks that will move us towards our goals? Are we just lazy? Why do we sometimes feels we're sabotaging our own goals? And how do we change this habit?
Imposter Syndrome
A popular term covering a multitude of challenges related to 'not fitting in', concerns about competence, and a feeling of misaligned skills for chosen goals. Where does this come from, what does it look like in our daily lives, and how do we address this?
Perfectionism
Environments prioritising achievement attract perfectionists, and may inadvertently embed related behaviors. Does perfectionism take us closer to our goals? What are the common challenges, and how do we change our thinking on this?
Confidence
What is 'confidence'? We want it, but do we need it to achieve our goals? How do we build it when we don't have it?
Motivation
Why do we want motivation to help us achieve our goals? What happens when we lose it? How do we keep working when we don't have motivation to drive us?
Mess or Success?
How do we perceive success? And failure? How do we perceive the journey to our goals? We may agree with the motivational posters that encourage us to "fail to succeed", but is this really how we respond in the midst of our 'messy' journeys?
