This session is open to all Monash University students who would like to learn how to develop a growth mind-set during their job search process.

The view that you adopt of yourself profoundly affects the choices you make and the way you lead your life. Our beliefs limit our potential or enable our success. They are often the difference between excellence, mediocrity or failure. They influence our self-awareness, our self-esteem, our creativity and our ability to face and overcome challenges.

This workshop focuses on the key elements of Growth Mindset and the latest research and Positive Psychology to increase participants’ awareness
of tools to build optimism, positivity and long-term career success.
