Contributions of Learning 5320 & 5318 (88/100)
The ADL program did a fabulous job of prompting self-reflection, and cultivating opportunities to grow as good leaders.

Growth Mindset
The message of “yet” is profound, as it eludes to something that will be in the future. The growth mindset sets the stage for better and more to come. Adopting a growth mindset is something I have been working on and aware of for about 7 years now. It is actually very liberating to know…
