Mindset: Because Brains & Talents Are NOT Enough

Growth Mindset is a simple idea discovered by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck with decades of research on achievement and success. On a fixed mindset, people believe qualities like intelligence or talent are fixed traits. In a growth mindset, people believe their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication & hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point.
