A day doesn’t go by that someone doesn’t ask me, in one way or another, “How do I get my staff to change their mindset?”
And with good reason…our mindset impacts how we think, feel, and act.
So when we face resistance, when staff seem unwilling to change their perspectives or actions, or even when we can’t seem to build trust between us…what can we do?
In this riff I cover the following topics:
- Why our mindset is so critical to getting to a change in practice
- Examples of different mindsets and how they impact how we “show up in the world”
- Invitation to use what we know about children in our work with adults
- Steps for shifting mindsets
- “What” before “How”
- Ensuring the adult is in the “green zone”
- Leveraging strengths
