The Power of a Growth Mindset
in Career Transitions
Changing Careers Can Feel Like....
Jumping out of an airplane without knowing if your parachute will open.
But what if we told you that success in transition isn't just about skills or experience?
Research by psychologist Carol Dweck shows that individuals with a growth mindset — the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication — are more likely to succeed in new roles.
Why It Matters:
• 92% of executives believe that adaptability and curiosity are key skills for the future (LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report).
• Those with a growth mindset are 47% more likely to see challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles (Dweck, Mindset).
Action Plan:
Here are 3 simple things you can do to help shift into a growth mindset:
-
Reframe Challenges – Replace "I can't do this" with "I can't do this yet."
-
Embrace Learning – Commit to one new learning experience per month, whether it’s an online course, a new book, or a networking event.
-
Seek Feedback Actively – Ask mentors or colleagues for constructive insights and use them to improve rather than feel discouraged.
