This is where I transform your mindset and allow you to break down the walls that you probably never knew you had. There are two ways to view intelligence or ability: Ability is fixed or ingrained; in other words, we are born with a certain level of ability and we cannot change that. This is called a fixed mindset. We can develop our ability through hard work and effort. This is called a growth mindset.

These two different beliefs lead to different behaviours and different results. For example, students with a growth mindset were shown to increase their grades over time. Those who believed that their intelligence was ingrained did not. In fact, their grades got worse. Having a growth mindset (the belief that you are in control of your own ability and can learn and improve) is the key to success.
