The Growth Mindset

During the expert session, Rod Ben Zeev engages the audience by discussing the impact of mindset on growth and adaptation, using examples from renowned figures and interactive exercises. Throughout the session, Rod invites participants to join breakout rooms for activities that promote active listening, creativity, and connection-building.

• Understand the critical role of the growth mindset in determining success or failure.
• Gain a shared vocabulary and greater awareness of individual strengths and weaknesses related to the growth mindset.
• Develop a clear individual action plan to effectively adopt and maintain a growth mindset in daily life.

In this 60-minute interactive session, Rod presents the compelling argument that the success or failure of everything we do hinges on one crucial factor: adopting a growth mindset. Drawing on the pioneering research of Stanford University's Carol Dweck, as well as his own extensive work on innovation and leadership with hundreds of organizations worldwide, Rod will guide participants to understand and experience the significant benefits of a growth mindset. Through engaging discussions and practical exercises, attendees will learn how to adopt and maintain this mindset more effectively in their professional and personal lives.

Rod's session emphasizes the practical application of the growth mindset, helping participants to not only grasp its theoretical underpinnings but also to feel its advantages firsthand. By the end of the session, participants will have developed a shared vocabulary around the mindset, enhancing communication and collaboration within their teams. They will also gain greater awareness of their individual strengths and weaknesses, empowering them to leverage their unique capabilities more effectively.

The session includes two breakout room activities, providing a dynamic and interactive environment for deeper exploration and practice. These breakout sessions will allow participants to engage in focused discussions, share experiences, and develop actionable strategies tailored to their specific needs. By the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will have a clear individual action plan, equipping them with the tools and confidence to cultivate a growth mindset and drive continuous improvement in their personal and professional lives.

Feedback (with breakout rooms)

How do you give and receive feedback? We often find it difficult to tell someone what we really think. And when we do, the receiver is not always open to it and in the end, nothing changes. What is the right way? Rod gives an interactive session full of insights about human behaviour. Based on true stories, some even with disastrous results, he shows how important it is that we are able to give each other feedback in the right way. Easy and fun exercises help you understand how you can give valuable feedback, so that both you and others can continue to grow, develop and learn. This session contains 2 breakout rooms.
