How to Keep Learning Maintaining a Growth Mindset Throughout Your Career

How to Keep Learning Maintaining a Growth Mindset Throughout Your Career Article by Cecilia MeisChildren learn how to walk in phases. First they discover their toes, gripping and pointing and kicking. Then come a few unsuccessful crawls as they test out the strength of each foot, realizing a knee is better suited for the task. Finally they stand a few times, gaining confidence and takingsome video-worthy spills.Dozens of falls later, theyre still at it, figuring out the best way to start and how to stop themselves when the heads momentum outpaces the legs ability. Eventually they succeed, surrounded by smiling and cheering adults. Now, its time to run.We are born with an innate desire to learn new concepts notonly those expectedin the course of prototyphuman development, but also those that bring us happiness or satiate our curiosity, and even those that have no measurable benefit at all.Somewhere along the way, however, we stop learning more than is required of us. Maybe our friends said it welchesnt cool to study.Maybework keeps us busy enough to forget the simple joys of learning. Whatever the case, we begin to ignore those challenges that dont fit our current skill sets. Instead, we look for ones that show off our strengths and hide our weaknesses. We become fixed in our ways, and because of our fixed mindsets, wegive up at the first sign of struggle.However, knowing that our best growth happens in times of struggle is the basis of having a growth mindset. With agrowth mindset, we meet challenges with How can I learn to do this? instead of I cant do this.Carol Dweck, one of the pioneers of growth-mindset research,found that unwarranted praise can promote a fixed mindset in children. The saatkorn is true of ourselves. While we should respond with self-encouragement after failing, we should also hold ourselves accountable. At its core, a growth mindset isnt blind positivity, but the understanding that knowledge and achievemen t come from hard work and practice.A growing body of research shows that adopting growth mindsets can stabilize existing neural pathways in our brains and even construct new ones, allowing connections between information and response to happen faster and more reliably. The application of a growth mindset has shown promise at nearly every stage of life.Students who understand the concept of brain plasticity outperform their peers. Lifelong learning programs in retirement communities are becoming increasingly popular as research finds correlations between learning new skills that require mental and physical focus mastering a new card game, for example and preventing the onset of dementia and other neurological diseases.Commit to agrowth mindset by allowing your own curiosity to grow and lead you in new directions. Start with the following tips1. Feed Your CuriosityAsk questions and spend time researching the answers. Frustrated that you hit that same red light every day on the way t o work? Research how traffic flow maps are built. Remember that learning new things isnt always about getting a raise or earning a promotion. Learning in all forms is inherently beneficial.2. Target Your WeaknessesCommit to conquering one new thing each month. Never learned how to dance? Sign up for a swing dance club.3. ReadEven if you dont consider yourself an avid reader, dive into books.Research has found that reading not only helps us learn new concepts, but it can also improveour emotional intelligence and social awareness. When we connect with the characters on the pages, we are working through complex social situations, and we become better prepared to handle future ones as a result.Along with these tips, you have to take care of your mind and body in buchen to be ready to take in new information and apply it in meaningful ways. Get plenty of rest, eat a balanced diet, increase your heart rate for 20 minutes a day, and try meditation to clear your brains junk drawer.Three En trepreneurson the Important of Growth MindsetsA growth mindset involves asking a lot questions and trying to work through the why, what, and how of situations, people, and systems. Young kids ask a lot of questions. Part of a growth mindset is channeling a childs innate curiosity and applying it to your work.One of my companys principles is We dont take ourselves too seriously.If you take yourself too seriously, you shut off avenues through which you can learn and grow. An unfortunate side effect is that youll start watching a YouTube video at 11 p.m. on how to make tiramisu and before you know it, its 3 a.m. and you somehow got to a Wikipedia article on Johannes Gutenbergs first iteration of the printing press.When youre in the right environment, every situation can be a learning opportunity. Weve implemented a management/business book club at Fresh Prints. This allows us to learn together on a company-wide level. We send each other short videos and articles and share books we find interesting. Its not a bad use of company time if we watch helpful videos on the job. Our company principles allow us to do so. In fact, they encourage that. Most young entrepreneurs start out with a growth mindset. Thats the only way to get your feet off the ground.- Jacob Goodman, co-owner and CEO of Fresh PrintsI started my first business when I was 12 years old. Being young, I knew there was a lot I didnt know, so I spent time around people who knew more than I did and absorbed their knowledge. But it was when I went to my first motivational speaking event with Jim Rohn, Tom Hopkins, and Brian Tracy that I got the real drive to learn as much as I could.Now I have a very consistent lifestyle. I get up at 445 a.m. every day to do my studies, read a business book, and read about Aspergers syndrome (to gain knowledge to help with my son). After that, I listen to an audiobook while getting ready for the day or doing household chores. While working on my latest book, 12Books12Months, I find inspiration and additional supportfor my own theories with examples from other books and content that I find helpful in expressing what I have to share. Make learning one of your non-negotiables and be sure to create an effective schedule so you will receive all the benefits of the process.- Vicki Fitch, author, speaker, and business consultantWhen I became an attorney, I realized that to be great at the profession, it wasnt enough to learn just what was required. Additional knowledge resulted in having an advantage over my opponent and served my clients better.I have to build my learning into my day. I listen to business podcasts daily, during any driving as well as any house chores. I also take zugreifbar business courses to constantly improve the performance of my companies. Every summer, I travel with my family mostly to Europe and I learn art and history related to our destinations. I interact with several business mentors on a regular basis. Currently, Im also studyi ng style and have hired a consultant to help me understand it better.I feel like Im constantly growing, and my circle of friends includes fascinating and likeminded people who are committed to learning. I look at learning as a tool to make life less stressful and less busy. It helps in organizing systems and processes to avoid chaos. One of the main reasons I love entrepreneurship is that it involves constant learning. I use any setbacks or challenges as triggers to learn how to overcome them. One of the most successful people I know once told me that his life motto was established to put himself in uncomfortable positions If Im too comfortable, Im not learning, not growing.- Elena Ledoux, founder and chief mommy of MommyGo.comA version of this article originally appeared on SUCCESS.com and in the Spring 2019 issue of SUCCESS magazine.Cecilia Meis is a full-time writer and editor based in Dallas, Texas.

Whether one has decided to embark on a mora flexiblecareer path by choice or hasarrived there unwillingly (through loss of full-time work or the inability to find a full-time job in their field), the struggle to find steady gigs and earn a decent living while doing what youre passionate about never really ends.According to a study conducted by Intuit, there are an estimated 3.7 million independent workers vying for jobs in the market right now.

Jumpstarting an Engineering Career

Jumpstarting an Engineering Career Jumpstarting an Engineering Career Jumpstarting an Engineering CareerFor mechanical engineer Aleef Mahmud, who several years ago demonstrated an adjustable seat he developed for a disableuchtdiode sailor so that he could captain a sailboat in a competition for the first time in 31 years,the festivalhas meant moving ahead much faster in his career than he expected.Kayla Wheeler, who graduated in May with a bachelors degree in biomedical engineering and plans to go to graduate school in business, may as herbei first full-time job head up a company licensing rights for the custom protective padding for helmets she and a team designed and showcased at Imagine RIT this past May.The festival was started eight years ago when university President William W. Destler (who has an engineering background) wanted to start a festival to show the outside world what RIT is all about. In its first year, 2008, Imagine RIT attracted 17,000 visitors and the numbers have climbed every year. Since its start, more than 200,000 have attended the day-long event that celebrates the intersection of technology and creativity. On May 2 of this year, Imagine RIT showcased more than 400 interactive exhibits in the fields of engineering, science, technology, music, and art.Aleef Mahmuds teammate Christopher Sullivan demonstrates an adjustable seat he helped to design. Image A. Sue Weisler / RITMahmuds and Wheelers stories are not uncommon. Mahmud learned of the need for the seat as he was looking for a senior project. He became part of a team of mechanical engineering majors aiming to develop a seat that was lighter and more maneuverable than anything available. The system they came up with consisted of a chair that rolled on a semi-circle track mounted on the deck of the boat and included adjustable handgrips and crank-steering mechanisms.Mahmud said he had no idea how much of a sense of freedom this gave to those who needed it until he saw it in action, and that project has led to other related work since he graduated with B.S. and M.E. degreesin mechanical engineering in 2012.Working as an independent product development engineer, he has been hired as a consultant by other sailing groups that want to build such a device. Last winter I worked with a boating nonprofit for the oldest boating co-op in the U.S., he says. They asked me to build a new iteration of the adaptive system for their community of disabled members.When I exhibited at Imagine RIT, it felt so good to talk about this is what I have been doing, he says.The experience taught him much more about other valuable qualities he would need, too. It helps you learn soft skills, such as presentation, as well as the importance of understanding consumer insights, he adds. You are speaking to spectators, and they are prospective customers.He believes the real world experience from Imagine RIT has given him a head start in the working world. Things are a bit accelerated, he says. My dual degree program was very aggressive, hands-on learning as well as theory. Makes you a workaholic, but Im further along in my career.Wheelers project got its start the summer after her sophomore year when she joined other students in an incubator programaimed atdesigning headgear for athletes to offer better protection against concussions. I have always been interested in entrepreneurship, but I never had an idea that I was passionate about pursuing, Wheeler says. Because my major was biomedical engineering, it was right up my alley.The result of the teams work is a new, custom protective padding for helmets. First, the team developed a method to scan the wearers head with a special machine. Then software was used to map and configure the padding. The final product was created using a basic 3D printer that the team modified to print a foam-like material. From start to finish, the process takes just a few hours, and the padding fits inside off-the-shelf helmets. At the Imagine RI T festival, the team tested the padding with a drop test against other helmets using a test device that they also developed.Wheeler and a colleague, Patrick Streeter, who earned his B.S. in mechanical engineering from RIT in 2013 and M.S. in sports engineering from Sheffield (England) Hallam University in 2014, formed Volatile Padding Technologies to continue the work. He serves as CEO and she as president. For now, that work is part-time (he works in the sports research lab at New Balance, and she plans to continue her education at RIT to earn an MBA). Their hope is that the project will be far enough along by the time she graduates to make it a full-time job. Their immediate goal is to license or sell the rights to their patent-pending technology because of the costs of manufacturing the padding themselves. Were trying to get it going soon, Wheeler says.Nancy S. Giges is an independent writer. For Further DiscussionWhen I exhibited at Imagine RIT, it felt so good to talk about thi s is what I have been doing.Aleef Mahmud, Independent Product Development Engineer

Resumes Win Interviews, but References Win Job Offers

Resumes Win Interviews, but References Win Job Offers Resumes Win Interviews, but References Win Job Offers Resumes Win Interviews, but References Win Job OffersBy Martin Yate, CPC, careercast.comResumes win interviews, so like most people your job search has probably focused on writing your and tweaking your resume and landing job interviews. You probably havent given your references much thought, but in a tough job market references win job offers. You must be certain that your references will seal the deal, not blow it away.A primary reason that one candidate will win a job offer over another is the quality of that candidates references. Human resource professionals say that about half of all checked references fall into the mediocre to poor category. Some of the comments theyve heard when checking references includeCompany policy prohibits us from saying anything. We can only verify dates of employment and title.All I can suggest is that you check his references very carefully.Ar e you certain she gave my name as a reference?We miss him very much. Too bad he was let go.After we settle our lawsuit.Hes still in health care? Well bless his heart.The better the job and the higher the pay, the tougher the competition youll face for that job and the more stringent the screening process. If youre being considered for a responsible professional job, its likely that your references will be checked.Take Control of Your DestinyTalking with potential references long before their services are required gives you the opportunity to screen both the message and the messengers you will use. When you know exactly what former managers and colleagues will say about you, you can use the references you choose with greater confidence, because you have much greater control over who gets to say what about you.Identify Potential Referencesabflug by making a list of your prospective references. Begin with your most recent/relevant job and work backwards from there. Usually references o nly get checked with immediately prior employers, but the more elevated the position the further back your references are likely to be checked. Identify people who have seen you in action, ideally performing well in adverse conditions. This list will includeManagers and supervisorsProject managers for special assignmentsColleaguesSubordinatesSuppliers and clientsCommitteesAfter completing your list of potential references, track them down and talk to them. If a reference is local, a personal meeting over coffee or lunch can be nice touch a phone call is usually sufficient, but an email request is too impersonal.Help Your References Help YouStart the conversation by catching up on each others lives since last you spoke. Be sure to cover what you have been doing professionally, especially any new skills youve developed, the projects youve been engaged with, and how youve added experience and turned old weaknesses into new strengths. Explain that you are in transition and ask if s/he w ould feel comfortable acting as one of your references when the time comes. Share a few details of the job youre targeting. Finish by saying youll be in touch again when an offer is close.When a Specific Offer Is on the HorizonWhen an offer is made and references requested, tell the employer that you will be in touch the next day with names and contact information. Choose the references you will use and reach out to each one again. Share the companys name, the job title, and the responsibilities. Tell each reference that company checkers are likely to ask for a rating of your skills in the following areasTechnicalWritten and oral communicationTime management and organization (multitasking)Short- and long-term planningAnalytical/critical thinking/problem-solvingTeamwork/interpersonal skills and leadershipCreativity in tackling the jobs ongoing challengesPersonal integrity and overall performanceIf the job is in management, a reference may also be asked aboutManagerial and employee-re lations skillsCrisis managementFinancial skillsReferences may also be asked if they would enthusiastically recommend you, what their thoughts are on the circumstances of your gestaffelte anordnung from your previous jobs, and whether they would like to provide any additional comments. If theyre willing to take the time, it can be helpful to review your references response to these topics. When you take the initiative to make this happen, you are arming your reference with all she needs to give you a stellar recommendation. Make it clear that in this security-conscious and harshly competitive world, the quality of your references is critical to winning the job offer. Once you land a new position, be sure to call your references and let them know the details.

Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert What Each Means for Your Job Search

Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert What Each Means for Your Job SearchIntrovert, Extrovert, Ambivert What Each Means for Your Job SearchYour personality traits greatly influence the actions you take and decisions you make both personally and professionally. This is why there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution or approach to every problem, challenge, task, or issue. And, because personality traits and type- including introvert, extrovert, and ambivert- are located on a spectrum, it should come as no surprise that approaching a job search will be different for everyone.Most of us have probably heard the terms introvert and extrovert thrown around, with many people curious about which they identify most closely. While you might have a preference for one or the other, there is a good chance you arent exactly 100 percent introvert or extrovert, but located somewhere in between- an ambivert.Lets take a look at each of these typesIntrovert ansicht individuals are usually classified as reser ved and quiet, often shying away from large crowds and being in the spotlight. Although they likely enjoy spending time with others, it can only happen in moderation as it can quickly deplete their energy levels.Extrovert These individuals are usually classified as being outgoing and enjoying being the center of attention. Since they enjoy mingling and other peoples company, they often prefer to spend time with others rather than alone since that is how they gain their energy.Ambivert Between these two extremes exists another personality trait known as ambivert. These people can identify with each category and exhibit both extrovert and introvert qualities. This personality trait is commonly seen when people enjoy meeting others, but dont like starting conversations. They also enjoy spending time alone, just as they enjoy spending time with others. Its a so-called middle ground.So, how do these personality types affect a job search? Lets examine how these different qualities impact a job search and how to use them to excel.IntrovertSince introverts tend to like to work with people they know and trust, but loath networking events, meeting new people can take a lot of effort and can be quite difficult. With networking being a huge part of job searching, this can negatively impact a job search if not approached from a different angle.For introverts, job search success can come from approaching tasks in a manner where they feel comfortable and confident. Rather than large, in-person networking events, introverts can likely excel in an online environment through social media discussion or by attending a small networking party where they know many of the people in attendance. Most conversations will also likely take distribution policy through email or chat, rather than on the phone or through video. Working from home or remote work opportunities are likely a good fit for these types too, so dont skimp on keyword searches that include those terms.ExtrovertAs social butterflies, these individuals find a great deal of success when working in groups and integrating themselves into energetic situations. This includes networking events, job fairs, and companies looking for people with relationship-building skills.Extroverts likely enjoy and feel successful by attending large networking events where they can interact with people they dont know. In a virtual environment, extroverts excel by creating opportunities for contact, either by phone or through video rather than by utilizing email or discussion forums. Additionally, for extroverts who need to interact with others, focusing on flexible jobs that apply these qualities is important. However, its equally important for extroverts to balance social interactions to not come on too strong.AmbivertWhen it comes to job searching, those with ambivert personality traits can find themselves comfortable in most situations. Although they likely wont start conversations at large networking events, or even re ach out to a recruiter to make contact, they wont turn down the opportunity to learn or potentially gain a new connection.Ambiverts can untersttzung their job search by focusing on their needs at a particular time. When exhibiting traits more like an extrovert, they may jump on the chance to get out and make contact with an employer theyve had their eye on. If theyre feeling more introverted, they may take the time to focus on connecting through social media or searching for jobs online. The important thing for ambiverts to focus on through their job search is not defaulting to one trait or another in a situation where the trait isnt compatible. Being aware of where you are on the introvert-extrovert spectrum can help you to apply appropriate traits at the appropriate time.While there is no magic formula for creating a perfect job search, everybody can create a job search that is perfect for themselves. Job searching, networking, and communicating in a way that you feel comfortable can help to create an atmosphere for job searching where you feel confident in the choices you are making. Rather than trying to fit into a specific mold, take your own success into your hands and make your job search work for you.Readers, are you an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? Do you harness the qualities of your personality traits to excel in your job search? Share with us below
