What is the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how does your mindset affect confidence at work?

In this episode, we explore how fixed and growth mindset can influence workplace confidence, particularly when you make mistakes, receive difficult feedback, try something new or get something wrong.

You'll learn:

  • The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and what each looks like in the workplace
  • How a fixed mindset can turn a mistake or difficult experience into a judgement about your ability and impact your confidence
  • Why low confidence, perfectionism and unrealistic expectations can reinforce a fixed mindset
  • What growth mindset at work actually looks like in real-life situations
  • How to use fair evaluation to assess your performance
  • A simple way to shift from “I'm just rubbish at that thing” to “What happened, and what can I learn?”
  • How this can help you build self-trust, resilience and confidence at work


This isn't about pretending everything went well or telling yourself you're brilliant at everything.

It's about learning to evaluate yourself fairly, understand what happened, take the learning - and move forward!
