Session: Mindset
Have you ever procrastinated doing research about that new security feature in Kubernetes, beating yourself up for being lazy the entire time?
Have you ever delayed opening a PR, fearing that your code wasn’t good enough to pass the code review?
Have you ever said “I’m just not good at… math / coding / public speaking / networking…” and given up on a goal?
If so, this talk is for you.
We will discuss what a “growth mindset” is and how it could turn around a huge 45-year-old enterprise like Microsoft.
We will walk through the steps and pitfalls of the journey from a lifetime of “fixed mindset” to “growth mindset” based on my personal experience, and the experience of the entire organization, and what steps you could take to get there.
