Pointing out, telling stories, showing people, having them do self-reflection on where they made the most progress, right? Where do you actually see the best outcomes coming? Is it always effortless, or have there been challenges that have been overcome, strategies that had to be pivoted, and teams that had to come together, right? So, illuminating the process of success helps people understand whether or not effort is what's required for ability, required for high success, right? And strong success and excellence. Why growth cultures are more diverse and inclusive49:36: In a culture of growth, it's much more diverse naturally. Why? Because it's not about matching to some narrow prototype of success that looks or feels a certain way. Instead, it's about who can grow the most, who can develop the most, who can pivot, who's overcome challenges. And when we look at our society and look at who has overcome challenges, who has actually had to pivot, try new things, and overcome these structural barriers, we see that that's a much more diverse group of people. And it's not just focused on any one identity. And so, we see that in these cultures of growth, they attract, retain, promote, and positively evaluate a much wider variety of people.How do we mirror growth to inspire workplace success?34:50: As adults in the workplace setting, if we can create relationships where we actually show employees and our direct reports—individual contributors—where we have seen their growth and development, appreciate that, and mirror it for them, it puts them in that growth mindset. This makes them willing to try something new, to continue to push, and to continue to develop either in that area or in a new area that's required in the moment. And so, I think that's one thing that we can do pretty easily—to just be that mirror for process, growth, and development for people and help them reflect on that for themselves.

The UK General Election results across Great Britain have been pored over by almost every media outlet on this island. However, there has been an air of the inevitable that the results for Northern Ireland have been largely ignored despite its recent cohorts of MPs having played a crucial role in the twists and turns of the UK's seperation from the European Union since 2016. Due to the enormous majority of the new UK Labour Parliamentary Group, the 18 seats from the 'nation' / 'province' / 'region' (delete as preferred) of the UK across the water, were never likely to be pivotal for the government of Britain. But for the people, parties, and governeance of Northern Ireland, these small number of individuals could be very influential. So here at the Hiraeth Pod, we take a deep look at the results and what we have learned from them. To guide us, we are joined by two great friends of the pod, who last joined us to discuss their book "A Troubled Constitutional Future: Northern Ireland After Brexit".

You've probably heard of the fixed vs. growth mindset. But did you know it applies to whole organizations, not just individual people? And, just like with individuals, there are certain things you can do to change, improve, and support an organization's mindset. Today, Dr. Mary C. Murphy, a protege of Carol Dweck and an esteemed psychology researcher in her own right, takes us through her newest book, “Cultures of Growth.”Business organizations are full of mindset triggers– situations that shift individuals' mindset to be more fixed-oriented than growth-oriented. Evaluations, high effort assignments, and feedback can easily create fixed mindset thoughts of “I'm terrible” or “I'm great” instead of “What can I continue to get better.” Dr. Murphy discusses how leaders, and even non-leaders, can purposefully frame these situations to prevent a slide into a fixed-mindset and create an overall culture that supports growth mindsets.This episode is jam-packed with neuroscience research, actionable tips, and “aha” moments. Dr. Murphy really puts on a masterclass for us. We hope you get as much out of it as we did.Check out Dr. Mary C. Murphy's book, "Cultures of Growth," today.
