How to cultivate a growth mindset to help you achieve your goals.

The first step to developing competence in any skill is to address the growth mindset. Below are the most impactful questions I usually use with my clients that are guaranteed to prime your growth mindset

​

🎯Does the goal you have set for yourself challenge you to learn and grow? Yes or no?

🎯Do you see that there will be areas where you will need to learn new information or improve an ability or skill in order to accomplish this goal? Yes or no?

🎯Do you recognize the importance of putting in the effort to develop in these areas, in order to be successful? Yes or no?

🎯Are you willing to commit to taking the steps necessary to learn and improve in these areas? Yes or no?

The second step is to identify what skills or abilities are needed and create a plan for improvement, whether it involves acquiring information, learning a process, or practicing a behaviour.

For each goal that is being actively pursued, explore the following questions:
​

🎯What knowledge or information needs to be acquired?

🎯Where or how can what is needed be accessed? If the material is more complex, what steps need to be taken in order to learn the material? What is the next small step?

🎯What skill or ability needs to be developed? For each, is this a new skill or an improvement of a current skill? What is the next small step?

🎯What thought or emotional patterns need to be improved? 🎯What does the desired thought process look like?

🎯What can be done to practice this new way of thinking?

🎯Is there any other skill that needs to be developed in order to make this change?

🎯What is the next small step?

What behaviour pattern needs to be improved?

🎯What does the desired behaviour look like?

🎯What can be done to establish a habit of this behaviour?

🎯Is there any other skill that needs to be developed in order to make this change? What is the next small step?

🎯What skills, knowledge, thoughts or behaviours are you already competent at that will help you develop these other areas or achieve your goal?

Once you have answers to these questions, you are ready to put down a solid, detailed and clear plan in action.

This is where as a Coach I would work with you in putting this plan in place and also help you work through any limiting beliefs you might have.
