A growth mindset means you feel knowledge and abilities can grow and improve with effort; setbacks are learning opportunities (Cote, 2022). A growth mindset allows one to develop in all areas of life, including professional life. A fixed mindset is the belief that one’s intelligence and abilities are unchanging, limiting one’s development. To continue forward, one must adopt a growth mindset as it is inevitable that one will encounter things that they do not know or complete a task incorrectly; a growth mindset will not allow the individual to get stuck when this occurs but will push them forward towards learning.
