Mindset is everything. It's said that if you go into something expecting to fail, odds are you'll wind up with a self-fulfilling prophecy. On top of that, you'll always face new problems in your life. A willingness to tackle what life throws at you — along with a mindset that sets up success — is critical. Fortunately, both a gritty attitude and a positive, growth-focused mindset can be acquired. Everyone has the ability to have that tenacity and mindset. This course will help you unlock that potential. With the expertise of Dr. Shari Collins from the ASU School of Humanities, the Grit and Growth Mindset course will put the tools, knowledge and strategies of mindfulness directly into your hands.
