326: Growth Mindset Helps You Rise From the Ashes

Jeff Hittenberger: Orange County Department of Education Jeff Hittenberger is the Chief Academic Officer for the Orange County Department of Education. Key Points If you don’t deal with things on a personal level, they will oftentimes negatively affect your work. It is important to cultivate emotional intelligence in the workplace. A growth mindset will help you overcome a sense of despair because it gives you a sense of agency. Learning about the growth mindset as a team will give you a common language to communicate with. Poor reactions to a problem can make the problem even bigger. Learning about emotional intelligence while in the workplace will also help outside of work. Learning about a growth mindset and emotional intelligence takes time; it can’t be a one-shot deal.
