ACTIVITY
Two mindsets
The mindset you choose can lead you down two distinct paths. As you can
see, by embracing challenges and learning from mistakes, you can unlock
your full potential and reach higher levels of achievement
The “yet” and “not yet” trick is a great way to reframe a situation and
remind yourself positive results are a product of continued dedication
and grit.
IT'S A PROCESS
Double take on
mindset
We've got two activities lined up! First, fill out the worksheet to understand
fixed and growth mindsets. Then, group up and chat about a tough time —
maybe a bad grade — and discuss how someone with each mindset would
react.
takeaways
A growth mindset believes a person can improve through
effort & persistence, while a fixed mindset thinks they cannot.
2 Setbacks as opportunities

roadblocks.
4 Having a plan

down into simple, manageable tasks.
