Nurturing Growth Mindset Challenge
Build the mindset to learn, adapt, and grow through everyday challenges
At a glance
Why This Matters
In fast-changing work environments, success depends less on what people know and more on how they respond to setbacks, feedback, and uncertainty.
A growth mindset helps individuals view challenges as opportunities to learn rather than obstacles to avoid. The Nurturing Growth Mindset Challenge helps learners recognise fixed patterns of thinking and practise more adaptive, effort-oriented responses in everyday situations.
