What if the biggest obstacle in your career journey isn't your resume, network, or skillset—but the way you talk to yourself? In this episode, we explore how our internal dialogue shapes our professional possibilities in profound ways.
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck's research reveals that people with growth mindsets are three times more likely to excel in achievement tests, and similar patterns emerge in workplace success. We share personal struggles with "deficit mindset"—that persistent feeling of not being enough that can feel like hiking uphill in the blazing sun.
It's not just positive thinking—it's about creating the internal conditions that allow you to take action, see opportunities, and persevere through challenges. We talk about highly successful people who share that they don't experience imposter syndrome and we reflect on how their beliefs impact their success.
