Description

Last week I ran a workshop for a group of Year 11 girls on limiting beliefs, growth mindset and grit. And it might have been one of my favourite workshops I have ever run because I kept thinking, what would have changed for me if someone had taught me this at 16?In this episode, I share what came out of that workshop, because the truth is, most of us as adults are still operating from beliefs we formed as teenagers or even younger. Beliefs about whether we're confident enough, whether we're leadership material, whether we have what it takes. And the most dangerous thing about limiting beliefs is that they don't feel like beliefs. They feel like facts.This episode is about understanding where those beliefs come from, why our brain holds onto them so tightly, and the practical steps we can take to start rewriting them, because the identity you created at 15 does not have to be the prison you live in at 40.Key TopicsWhy limiting beliefs feel like facts rather than stories we tell ourselvesThe science of learned helplessness and why we stop tryingHow growth mindset and grit work together to create lasting changeWhy growth mindset is not toxic positivity — and what it actually meansAngela Duckworth's grit equation and why effort counts twicePractical steps to identify, challenge and rewrite your limiting beliefsKeywordslimiting beliefs, growth mindset, grit, self-belief, confidence, resilience, neuroplasticity, mindset, leadership, personal growth
