In this episode of the Confident Storytelling Podcast, we dive into the transformative power of the "growth mindset" and how it shapes both our inner and outer storytelling. Host Haritosh Srivastav explores the essential difference between a fixed and growth mindset, drawing on insights from Dr. Carol Dweck’s influential book, Mindset. With practical examples and engaging reflections, Haritosh discusses how to reframe self-talk, using simple techniques like adding the word "yet" to statements.

Listeners will learn why the stories we tell ourselves—like “I’m not good at storytelling” versus “I’m improving my storytelling”—impact our lives and growth journeys profoundly. Haritosh also shares tips for external storytelling, helping professionals, entrepreneurs, and coaches convey their stories as inspiring journeys of transformation rather than obstacles.

The episode wraps up with a personal growth story prompt designed to help you shift your mindset towards growth. Tune in for actionable insights, inspiring stories, and practical steps that will empower you to tell a more positive, growth-oriented story to yourself and others. Listen, reflect, and start rewriting your personal narrative with a growth mindset!


Stay tuned, and as always: keep learning, keep growing, and keep stepping out of your comfort zone.
