Nurturing a Growth Mindset
Because the way we think shapes the way we lead, learn, and grow.

Why This Matters
In fast-changing workplaces, fixed thinking limits what’s possible. A Growth Mindset helps individuals see challenges as opportunities, feedback as fuel, and effort as the path to mastery. This workshop helps teams internalize that mindset – not through theory, but through experience, reflection, feedback, and real-world application.
Research by Carol Dweck shows that teams with a growth mindset achieve:
47%
Higher trust
37%
Higher innovation

Walk-Through of Learner Experience
At FocusU, every learning experience follows a deliberate arc – moving participants
from awareness to application, and from insight to action.
| STAGE | WHAT HAPPENS |
|---|---|
| Discover | Participants experience engaging activities, challenges and scenarios that surface real attitudes, assumptions, and patterns of behaviour. |
| Reflect | Guided debriefs and discussions help them make sense of what they experienced - connecting it to their personal and workplace realities. |
| Reframe | Learners explore new mindsets, tools, and frameworks that offer fresh ways to approach everyday challenges. |
| Apply | Through practice, planning, and peer feedback, participants translate insights into actionable commitments they can take back to work. |
Every FocusU intervention is designed to move learners from knowing to doing – ensuring
that learning doesn’t end in the workshop, but continues in how people think, collaborate, and lead.
Optional Learning Reinforcements
Each intervention can be enhanced with practical job aids that extend learning beyond the workshop:
- Participant Handbook – a session workbook to refer to key concepts and capture reflections (soft or hard copy).
- Pre-Work Assignment – helps learners feel primed and curious for the session (via LMS or Google Forms).
- Post-Work Assignments – enables reflection and application after the session (via LMS or Google Forms).
- Pocket Insights – bite-sized takeaway summarising the key ideas (soft or hard copy).
- Manager Checklist – a simple guide for learners’ managers to help them reinforce learning on the job (PDF soft copy).

The intervention that FocusU designed was brilliantly relevant for our management offsite. It was flawlessly executed. The exercises got us to smile, laugh, put our thinking caps on, connect but above all reflect constructively about some of our key issues. The facilitators kept the energy and encouragement going but knew where to step back and allow the conversations to move forward unaided.

First of all, thanks to FocusU team for all support and conducting memorable offsite. This is was the best offsite we ever conducted in last 4 years. Employees were really happy and sent appreciation to us. This is was not possible without FocusU team. Few of the employees have already recommended name of your company to their connects in industry which I think gives a feedback about your team.

As a People’s company, everyone knows and understands the concept of Growth Mindset & Accountability, however the kind of activities and experiential learning programmed by FocusU added an element of excitement and gave us enough room to think and play around it. Great effort was put into make the overall session very logical coupled with the de-briefs after summing up each activity.

The concepts discussed in the workshop helped our participants to collaborate better with their cross-functional team members. Your openness & promptness in working on feedback shared with you is commendable. The change made in getting the participants to come up with their own case study and getting them to use it during the workshop has been a wonderful value addition.

FocusU was a simple Google search for me. Having said that, there were other training firms whose details also showed up. But right from the time that I established my first contact with them, there has not been an instance where I had to follow up with their team. Extremely proactive, understand their clients needs and the best part - they customize the training requirements really well!

For each workshop, we can help you with three different teasers you can customize and share periodically with participants to build excitement and get traction.
You can reach out to your designated client advisor or reach us at hello@focusu.com to know more about the workshop. Our team will talk with you to understand your needs better to ensure that the workshop is customized to your context.
We are glad you asked that question. Every learning intervention starts with "Why?" and "What is the difference you want to see at the workplace because your learner attended this session?" Once we are clear, our learning designers put together a thoughtfully curated learning journey that could be a mix of different methodologies chosen to suit your learning environment. Besides this, to aid learning, we can (optionally) buttress it through:
- A pre-learning assignment for learners to know where they stand before the journey
- A participant handbook aids the learner in returning to what was covered during the session and reviewing it again. It helps in learning reinforcement.
- A post-learning assignment helps learners know where they stand after the journey. Assessing the gap in learning helps learners in bridging it.
- Pocket insights—a ready reckoner with the key concepts that can either be carried along or be pinned up as a ready reminder.
- Manager Essentials—tips (for the managers of the learners) to recognize behavioral changes and create an environment that encourages the learners to put what they have learned to practice.
- Post-learning application of learning at the workplace through a specific project.
- We try to capture the impact of every learning intervention through an impact report that is then shared with clients.
Every single workshop (except the asynchronous self-paced modules) is customized to the precise customer need and brief. Our client advisory team will work closely with you to understand your context and pass it on to the execution team.
