Interesting perspective. Qualitative data may challenge this claim. #mindsets
@GuyClaxton @trev_mackenzie @molly_coffey_ Effects of growth mindset on academic achievement are minimal. Precious time better spent elsewhere.

Reconsidering our change processes can improve our impact. Systematic and strengths based approaches have shown to have increased benefits, impact and sustainability #wellbeingscience #evidenceinformed #leadership #reframe #beingoutthebestinothers #pypchat #iben
It is only recently that the "positive" aspect of positive change has taken on systematic, strength-based, and scientific meaning. The result? It's changing the way we think about change.

When we relate from the heart, people warm to us, we build trust and we form solid relationships that can ultimately lead to greater achievements and success. https://t.co/ic3hqig3UZ

Your unrealised strengths represent a depth of potential that sits within you, and from which you can draw on as you seek to grow and develop yourself and your abilities. https://t.co/z5Zskpzu66

#WiseWords again from Brené. I think we're seeing this at @AISMmoz this week, and it is powerful. Still have more steps to take on this path but we're on the path together. #AISMlearns #EdLeadership #daretolead
If we want people to fully show up and to bring their whole selves including their unarmored, whole hearts so that we can innovate, solve problems, and serve people, we have to be vigilant about creating a culture in which people feel safe, seen, heard, and respected. #daretolead

What a great way to start the day, mindful-moments❤️ and a bit of dance!!!
Take 5 deep breaths. Just be for 4 moments. Enjoy 3 people today. Appreciate 2 songs. Dance or boogie to 1 tune that makes you smile. #spring #streetphotography
