What Comes After Growth Mindset
How we show up and interact, reveals what we value, what we fear, how we think and what we believe. In this session we begin by noticing. Notice how we tend to show up in conversation. We will explore four types of mindsets that influence how we engage in conversation. The characteristics produce an energetic signature. Our mindset influences tone, timing, and ultimately then, how others perceive our trustworthiness. By applying several of the ICF sub-competencies, learn how to notice when a judgement arises and pause to allow curiosity to bubble up so we can generate new awareness that is the seed of evolution. The session offers an opportunity to match mindset traits with a specific business context, key relationship(s), and professional experience, applied first to self and second to your client context.
