Workshop Description:
Based on Carol Dweck’s work on Growth versus Fixed Mindset and incorporating different components including Positive Psychology, Authentic Leadership, and Improv Comedy, this workshop will take you through a journey to better understand your own mentality and how they may be limiting you. Endless research has shown how our mindset determines success, thankfully your brain can be trained and this workshop will offer tangible tools to help refocus one’s mindset to be more constructive and supportive. Also discover the art of Human Centered Design Thinking and how to implement this technology in your everyday life. If you are looking for a solution to any problem, this workshop can help you understand how to create an innovation and sustainable solution.
