Learn what a "growth mindset" really means!
Have a “growth mindset” — we hear it all the time, but what does it REALLY mean? Joshua Moore and Helen Glasgow, a life coach and personal growth researcher, wrote the book on the subject. Literally. The Growth Mindset: A Guide to Professional and Personal Growth is the perfect read on this topic. And we will discuss it and more in this course.
Also, Malcolm Gladwell is the best selling author of Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference; Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking; and Outliers: The Story of Success. All his works deal with research in the areas of psychology and sociology and unexpected implications for individuals. The Tipping Point deals with critical mass; Blink deals with how people can make informed decisions rapidly; and Outliers deals with how the environment, as well as personal drive and motivation, contribute to success.
YOU ARE HERE in your life. Let’s talk about where you want to be next. Let’s work on some self-development and write your script for success!
Please note: This is NOT your typical CPD course! This instructor hosts and records a live, "CPE (CPD) Book Club" regularly and this is one of her popular recordings. Polling questions throughout will not be required (they were only required live), but they are still within the recording for your entertainment only. We truly hope you enjoy this unique CPD course!
