The Power of Belief – Mindset and Success

What do you think the key is to achieving our goals?

Some people say it is hard work, focus and persistence. However research shows these are by-products of something we can develop.

 

The Power of Belief – Mindset and Success by Eduardo Briceño

In the following The Power of Belief TedX Talk, Eduardo Briceño articulates how mindset, or the understanding of intelligence and abilities, is key

Some of the quotes and ideas that were worth remembering for me in the Power of Belief Tedx Talk included –

  • “The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.” ~ Josh Waitzkin
  • The fixed versus growth mindset research by Carol Dweck
  • How we can change our own ability of how we think and perform
  • Fixed Mindset – questions: do I look smart? Effort is for the incapable. “I’m no longer interested.”
  • Growth Mindset – questions: how can I learn? Effort makes me smarter. Knows setbacks are part of life and keeps trying.
  • Making sure feedback is process related instead of performance based.
  • 3 things we can do today to instil a growth mindset – 1. recognise that a growth mindset is supported by neuroscience, 2. help ourselves and others to learn about and grow our abilities, and 3. listen for your fixed mindset voice and respond with a growth mindset!

Questions for Reflection –
