How can you promote a growth mindset during facilitation?

I begin by cultivating my own growth mindset. Recognizing that abilities can be developed lays the foundation for fostering it in others. As a project management expert, my mindset sets the tone for the team, influencing their openness to challenges and learning.

Language shapes mindset. I consistently use words that convey potential and improvement. Phrases like "learning opportunity" and "continuous improvement" create a culture where challenges are embraced. This linguistic shift encourages my team to view setbacks as stepping stones to growth.

In my experience helping the team to understand that we are all working towards the same objective helps to forget individual differences and redirect thinking towards the same common goals

Feedback is a powerful tool for instilling a growth mindset. I offer specific, actionable feedback that focuses on effort and strategies. Recognizing hard work and resilience, rather than innate talent, reinforces the idea that improvement comes from dedication and learning.

Helpful to reframe failure when we are developing a growth mindset. Sometimes our biggest failures will be the biggest wins in our future, if we are able to learn from these. Also, sometimes we need to challenge our own impostor syndrome and stereotypes, and accept that with hard work, we can achieve things.

A growth mindset flourishes in a safe space. I foster an environment where team members feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. As a project management expert, I understand that innovation and improvement thrive when individuals feel supported rather than judged for stepping outside their comfort zones.

Encourage the team to tackle ambitious goals. Present challenges that require learning and adaptation. Stretching their capabilities reinforces the idea that abilities can be developed with effort. As a project manager, I aim to balance challenges to stimulate growth without overwhelming the team.

Consider incorporating regular reflection sessions. This allows the team to revisit challenges and successes, reinforcing a growth-oriented mindset. Additionally, promote collaboration. Team members can learn from each other, fostering a culture of shared knowledge and continuous development.

Mein Top-Tipp: Vorbereitung. Sich selbst vor der Moderation -auch, wenn ich nur 2’ Zeit habe- in einen Growth Mindset-Zustand zu bringen, ist aus meiner Erfahrung heraus der erfolgsentscheidende Faktor Nummer 1. Und dann, w?hrend der Moderation, die Muster der Teilnehmenden aufmerksam wahrnehmen, sprachlich wertsch?tzend re-framen, Entwicklung würdigen, bzw. entwicklungsorientiertes Feedback erm?glichen.
