According to Stanford psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck, a growth mindset is based on a belief that you can increase talent, ability, and even intelligence through curiosity, learning, and discipline. When new teams form or an organizational restructure occurs, leading and influencing a growth mindset culture, especially in a virtual environment, can be challenging. How might you build a growth mindset culture that engages employees and empowers teams to disrupt and innovate, so you see more leadership potential in your employees?

This session will teach you various techniques that empower a growth mindset culture to flourish in a virtual environment, such as building squads, team chat rooms, and social media shoutouts. You'll review examples of how team influencers demonstrate the mindset of "progress not perfection" and "learn fast, learn often" with teach-back sessions and team huddles. You'll use design thinking methods to brainstorm ways to build a work-family culture that encourages others to innovate, succeed, and address challenges as a team, then compare them with your session peers. You'll leave with a playbook to reference all the ideas and methods shared so you can confidently use them with your team to start fostering a thriving growth mindset culture.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to build a work-family culture, so the team members trust and listen to each other
• What it means to be an influencer and how individual contributors can also be leaders
• How to encourage innovation powered by professional development and creative thinking
• How to celebrate progress and address challenges as a team
