first step. These are situations that make you feel defensive, anxious, or
worried about your ability (e.g., getting performance-improvement
suggestions, low grades, new projects, etc.) What are some fixed-mindset
triggers you experience at work and at school? Explain how you these make
you feel.
o Choose one of your identified fixed-mindset triggers. How might you respond
with a growth mindset voice instead?
o Think of a recent setback and explain how you were able to overcome it or
how you plan to respond to the challenge.
