What does your growth mindset voice say? Growth mindset is a concept you can apply in your academics and on the job. It's also a way to approach day-to-day life. Here are some examples of everyday situations in which you can consciously choose to respond with a growth mindset. Example 1: Your morning is full of the unexpected. You hit the snooze button too many times, resulting in waking up late for work. As you rush to get out the door to your job, you accidentally spill your coffee and must take time to clean up the mess. Since you left your home later than usual, traffic is moving at a snail's pace. A fixed mindset response would be grumbling about your crummy morning. A growth mindset response would be committing to waking up earlier and devising a more effective morning routine. Example 2: Most people like to be winners, and kids on sports teams are no exception. So when your daughter, who spent tireless hours in the backyard practicing her jump shot, makes 10 out of 15 shots-leading her basketball team in scoring on game dayyou can praise her by giving a fixed mindset response or a growth mindset response. A fixed mindset response would be "Great game! You're a spectacular athlete!" A growth mindset response, by contrast, would be "Great game! Your dedication, practice, and hard work were reflected in your performance tonight."
