He is one of Ireland's most successful and prolific writers.

He won the Booker Prize for Fiction in 1993 for his novel Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha. The Woman Who Walked Into Doors (1996) is the tragic story of Paula Spencer. Doyle revisits Spencer's life in his 2006 novel Paula Spencer. A Star Called Henry written in 1999 is set during the civil war in Ireland and Rory & Ita (2002) tells the story of his parents' lives. His most recent books include The Dead Republic (2010); Two Pints (2012); The Guts (2013); Two More Pints (2014); Dead Man Talking (2015); and Smile (2017).

What kind of mindset do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset? A person with a “fixed mindset” assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens which we can’t change in any significant way, and if we experience success it is because we are a "natural" at certain tasks. On the other hand, a person with a “growth mindset,” is up for a challenge and sees failure as evidence opportunity for growth. We can manifest a fixed or growth mindset from a very early age, and it affects us in both personal ways and ultimately professional ways. It can even make a difference in our overall happiness. In this episode of the Engage Chesterfield podcast, you will learn the characteristics of a Growth mindset, the difference between growth and fixed mindset, learn how mindset affects learning, and discover ways that you can help foster growth mindset with your children or students. In addition, our three expert CCPS teachers, Shelby Bartilotti, Paula Spencer, and Erin Guthe share the positive impacts of using growth mindset strategies in the classroom.Thanks for engaging with us!

Transitioning from volume to value is a difficult but necessary change. Each hospital has different challenges, cultures, etc., so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Even so, we can still learn from each other’s experiences. Value University is a program that’s engaging 10 teams from health care organizations across the United States, hosted by The University of Utah and sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. These teams each launch an improvement project at their institution and then share their best practices, success and failures so everyone learns. Paula Spencer, program manager of RAM Care at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System, talks about how they’re responding to health care transformation, share what they’ve learned, and offer their advice for other institutions making the value transition.
