Growth Mindset: Keynote Speaker for SpunkGo
In November 2024, I was invited to be Spunk Go‘s Keynote Speaker to wrap up the annual series on growth mindset.
My topic was on An Athlete’s Mindset and I leveraged my expertise as an amateur triathlete to talk about the power of sports to nurture a growth mindset.
The vitual session was broken down into 8 principles to help develop a growth mindset to overcome challenges and achieve life goals, both personally and professionally.
The 8 growth mindset principles shared were:
- Unlocking your greatness
- Vision and visualization
- Positivity: positive mindset and language
- Planning & Execution
- Resilience
- Embracing feedback
- Gratitude
- Having fun
The session was attended by over 50 young women and girls from underprivileged communities in Central Asia and Africa. They participated by sharing their stories and asking questions to apply those principles in practice.
SpunkGo is a non-profit dedicated to the empowerment of the youth and make education and resources accessible to girls in marginalized communities.
