Growth Mindset
A half-day training course on developing and supporting a growth mindset.
Overview
A half-day course covering what a growth mindset is, how to develop one, and how to encourage it in others. Sessions move from the science of learning through fixed-mindset triggers and self-talk to a closing action plan with SMART goals. The pack gives a trainer a fully scripted session, workbook, handouts and certificates, ready to deliver in person or online, with unlimited rights to edit and rebrand.
Format. Half day (about 4 hours including breaks). Designed for classroom delivery and adaptable to live online sessions.
Who it is for. Open level, suitable for employees who have never met the growth mindset concept as well as those with some familiarity who want to develop it further.
