Mindset Shift Challenge

Most people have a growth mindset about some things and a fixed one about others. You might happily learn a new system at work and still say "I'm just not a numbers person". The Mindset Shift Challenge asks you to find those pockets.

It works in three steps over a period you choose: name the areas where your thinking is fixed, set yourself a realistic challenge in one of them, then reflect on what happened.

What's inside

• Three working sections: fixed mindset areas, setting challenges, and reflection on the impact
• A reference table of five fixed-mindset traits, each with a description and an example: avoiding challenges, defensiveness about criticism, believing in talent over effort, perfectionism and fear of failure
• Short guidance on doing it without self-judgement, and on celebrating small wins

The perfectionism example will be familiar to many: not starting a task until you're sure you can do it perfectly. If that's you, the challenge might be to hand something in at eighty per cent.

It is a short worksheet, essentially a frame for one challenge at a time, and it won't design the challenge for you. It also doesn't explain the background to mindset ideas. If you coach, it suits a client who keeps saying "that's just how I am".
