Do You Have a Growth Mindset?

Posted on by Beth Tate

“Whatever you do today, do it better tomorrow.” – Robert Schuller

Growth is a choice. We can choose each day to repeat what we did yesterday, or we can choose to do that thing better and to learn a new skill to use tomorrow.

It’s easy to fall into a routine and just keep doing the same thing over and over. That’s true whether it’s your home routine, your fitness routine, or your work routine.

If you have a fitness routine, are you pushing yourself to go beyond your current comfort level? Maybe walk a little farther today? Run a little faster today? Lift a couple of pound more than you usually do?

If you have been in your current job role for awhile, has it become easy? Do you need to challenge yourself to learn a new skill? Expand upon your current role and take on more responsibility? Stretch yourself to do something completely new?

Many of us are thinking about our 2023 goals. Perhaps this is the year to challenge yourself to develop a growth mindset. Challenge yourself next year to learn a new skill or expand upon an existing skill.

How will you grow in 2023?

Christmas Musings

Posted on by Beth Tate

On this Christmas morning, I’m thinking about how much I learned about different traditions while working in a global corporation and having staff based in countries around the world.

Growing up in the southern United States, December was a time of preparation for Santa, Advent services leading up to very traditional Christmas church services, and hope for a white Christmas. I had little exposure to any other traditions except what I read about in books.

When I moved to the mid-Atlantic, and started working with people from around the world, I began to understand just how isolated I had been. As my career progressed and I moved on to an International corporation, my eyes opened wider and I learned even more.

Working with International colleagues and staff over the years, I have had the joy of learning about other traditions and Holidays around the globe. It has broadened my view of the world and deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and diverse ways of thinking.

Today, I have a much deeper appreciation for the experiences I’ve had and the wonderful colleagues and friends from around the world who have taught me so much.

My wish for everyone is to have experiences that open their hearts and minds to the diverse cultures from around the world that have contributed to the melting pot of the United States.

Happy Holidays to all!
