Academic Success Coaching
There are two types of mindset: fixed mindset and growth mindset.
"People with a fixed mindset - those who believes that abilities are fixed - are less
likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset - those who believe that abilities
can be developed. Mindset reveals how [you] can put this idea to use to foster outstanding
accomplishment." - Carol Dweck, PhD
