Who is organising this training course?

I am a trilingual Learning Professional located in Luxembourg, with 30 years of experience and a proven track record in industry, academia and consulting. My observation is that technical skills get people hired, but the so-called soft-skills are what allows them to develop their maximum impact. My conviction is that people skills and managerial skills are learnable and teachable. My passion is making breakthrough learning happen through enjoyable training sessions and professional coaching.

What are the aims or the skills being targeted?

After this session, participants will be able to:

Distinguish between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset
Describe the benefits of a growth mindset
Understand how perseverance and curiosity drive success
Apply these insights at work and elsewhere

What does the training course cover?

Talent matters, but it is only part of the performance equation. A growth mindset emphasizes learning, effort, experimentation, and improvement. Grit encourages persistence and patience when progress becomes difficult. Together, these ideas provide useful ways to think about learning, setbacks and sustained performance.
