Growth Mindset! In this blog post I will be talking about Growth Mindset, a topic I was never really educated about. Key traits in performers Before this assignment I had never heard of Carol Dweck or even growth mindset, but I'm glad I will be able to learn about it through this module.  And before I talk about what I learned from the research, that I haven't done yet, I  will write a few bullet points  about what I THINK this topic    Develop a growth  mindset will be about: Openmindness Broadening your horizon Expanding mental capabilities Dealing with problems through a new perspective Learning how to better yourself with a healthier mindset of  "I can" rather than "I might"   After encountering Carol Dweck, I found her quite interesting and insightful.
