Leadership Series - Growth V Fixed Mindset

Women's Empowerment Podcast

In the first paragraph of his book The motivation manifesto Brendon Burchard asks a question - why having being endowed with the courageous heart of a lion do we live as mice? This is a very profound question to ask. One of the ways we can lean into this question and find out why we may be living like a mouse as opposed to like a lion is to find out which dial our mindset is set on is it set on a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. Because our actions are fueled by that that mindset. Some of those actions are conscious but most are unconscious. To be conscious is to be aware of what is motivating you to do what you do. To be unconscious is to not realise what is fuelling your actions. Most of what you do is fuelled from this unconscious place which is home to the habitual patterns you run on, I will speak to that more later. The unconscious is also where you store the parts of yourself that you disassociated from in order to fit in and feel like you belong.
