About this session

Is she smart at math because she was born that way? Isn’t he naturally an all-star basketball player? Is my grandfather nuts for taking up painting at this point in his life? What if we answered with a hard NO to all of the above? Come learn with guest facilitator Samina Hashmi, founder of Drop Ocean Consulting. Our emerging understanding of the brain has led to the discovery of the growth mindset –that you can develop your ability and intelligence at any stage of life. In this workshop we’ll learn more about growth mindset and practical tools to cultivate this mindset in your everyday life. In today’s increasingly complex world, having a growth mindset is seen as a leadership competency. Disclaimer: your brain will likely grow new cells during this workshop!
