Key Learnings

Detailed session description

In this 60-minute interactive session, Rod presents the compelling argument that the success or failure of everything we do hinges on one crucial factor: adopting a growth mindset. Drawing on the pioneering research of Stanford University's Carol Dweck, as well as his own extensive work on innovation and leadership with hundreds of organizations worldwide, Rod will guide participants to understand and experience the significant benefits of a growth mindset.

Through engaging discussions and practical exercises, attendees will learn how to adopt and maintain this mindset more effectively in their professional and personal lives.

Rod's session emphasizes the practical application of the growth mindset, helping participants to not only grasp its theoretical underpinnings but also to feel its advantages firsthand. By the end of the session, participants will have developed a shared vocabulary around the mindset, enhancing communication and collaboration within their teams.

They will also gain greater awareness of their individual strengths and weaknesses, empowering them to leverage their unique capabilities more effectively.

The session includes two breakout room activities, providing a dynamic and interactive environment for deeper exploration and practice. These breakout sessions will allow participants to engage in focused discussions, share experiences, and develop actionable strategies tailored to their specific needs.

By the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will have a clear individual action plan, equipping them with the tools and confidence to cultivate a growth mindset and drive continuous improvement in their personal and professional lives.

Questions about The Growth Mindset

Is this session interactive, or do people just watch?

It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.

Can we run this in Microsoft Teams?

In a normal Teams meeting, yes, and in Zoom or Google Meet just as well. Not in Teams Town Hall or Teams Live Event: those are broadcast formats where the audience cannot be seen or heard, and this session depends on people joining in. If that is the only option you have, tell us and we will host it on our own platform instead.

Is this for beginners or for people who already know the subject?

In this 60 minute interactive session, Rod makes the case that the success or failure of everything we do depends on only one factor: being in the growth mindset. Using both the research of Stanford University's Carol Dweck and his own work on innovation and leadership with hundreds of organizations worldwide, Rod... It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.

Is this a workshop or a talk?

A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.

Is Rod the right expert for this?

Rod Ben Zeev is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.4 out of 5, across 1,992 responses, and rate Rod personally 4.6 out of 5.

How long does it take, and what do we have to prepare?

It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Rod, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.

Who can join, and where does it run?

A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.

Can our global colleagues follow it?

The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.

Will our IT department have a problem with this?

No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.

How does this work under GDPR?

We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.

What do we get afterwards?

You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
