"In a growth mindset, you are focused every day by your growth, not deterred by challenges and not overwhelmed by accomplishments--you're just moving on to the next day." -Brad Stevens
Boston Celtics Coach Brad Stevens is no stranger to success. In 2013, Stevens was named Boston Celtics' head basketball coach, leading one of the most storied franchises in American professional sports. Stevens is an avid proponent of using a growth mindset while coaching his players. About the time Stevens began coaching at Butler University (2007-13), he was given Mindset as a gift. Ever since his initial reading, Stevens says Dr. Carol Dweck's work has influenced him as a coach, a father, and a person. He says, "Regardless of what happens today, [that] should not affect how you approach tomorrow."
We are pleased to share that Dr. Dweck spoke at TEDxNorrkoping in Sweden! In this November 2014 talk, Dr. Dweck discusses a growth mindset and the power of "yet" in schools.
Read a short exerpt from her talk below!
Oprah Winfrey delivered this inspiring commencement speech at Harvard University this summer. She shares her truths and emotions when her network was experiencing failure ("I felt I was stuck in a hole.").
She explains what it is like to rebound after a very public failure. "If you are constantly pushing yourself higher and higher, you will at some point fail." She goes on to explain that "failure is just life trying to move us in another direction."
Watch her speech (the story begins at minute 5:05) and hear this accomplished woman speak to us about writing the story of "who you want to be."
