2nd Week Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset

100% Responsibility and the Principles of Learning Additional Learning:

‘ Mindset’ by Carol Dweck ‘Mastery’ by Robert Green

‘The Success Principles’ by Jack Canfield ‘Make it Stick’ by Peter Brown

Introductory Activity: Speed Dating Pair up your group or ask them to pair up. Give them 30-45 seconds to discuss a topic of your choice. Example topics below:

● If you could have one superpower, what would it be? ● Who is your idol? ● What food do you like to eat the most? Why? ● If a genie gave you one wish, what would it be? ● What do you want to be when you grow up? ● What is your favourite thing to do at school? ● Why do you want to be a better leader?

Growth Mindset

● A growth mindset understands that any challenge can be overcome through learning. No skill or talent is fixed, and everything is able to learn.

● A fixed mindset attaches their identity to their current level of skill or understanding in any action

● A growth minded person understands that everyone is on a spectrum of learning, and everyone begins from scratch, from a point of 0 understanding.

● If someone appears to have a natural talent, it’s because they’ve been exposed to environmental factors that have helped them learn or overcome barriers to learning that activity, or have already been engaging in purposeful practice

Frequency = Genius

● The more you repeat over time the principals of learning, the more you work towards becoming a genius.

Mozart: Mozart’s father was the pre-eminent coach for teaching music to students. By

age 12 Mozart had already learned all the principals

100% Responsibility We are responsible for everything in our life.

EVENT + RESPONSE = OUTCOME You can change your responses (R) to the events (E) - the way things are - until you get the outcomes (O) that you desire in your life. The 3 Principles of Learning

○ Active Recall: ■ Active Recall is testing your knowledge through bringing the information

to your mind without use of aids ■ Quizing

● Two reasons for quizzing ● To see establish your level of learning ● To ensure that you do Active Recall and that you know the

material thoroughly ○ Spaced Learning

■ Spaced learning is learning something over time. Learning occurs during sleep and consolidation of your memory synapses.

■ Cramming and studying overnight will only result in one time learning and will not result in long term knowledge and learning

○ Interweaving Knowledge ■ Deep learning happens through many different experiences and

mediums. You learn deeply through hearing, reading and experiencing emotions from different sources

Activity: Quiz your Friends! Take 5-10 minutes to write a small quiz about yourself! Write a short story about yourself answering the questions below:

● What is my favourite leadership style? ● What is my passion? ● What is my name?

● Why do I want to be a good leader? ● Who is my hero or inspiration and why? ● Any question of your own choosing

Pair up with a partner and tell them about yourself and then quiz them! Work with up to 3 partners and see who remembers you the best. Additional Learning: Make it Stick by Peter Brown.

LESSON 1

WHY? Why do we want to do Public Speaking?

● Better than average public speakers are generally more successful than other people, but great communicators start movements!

● Effective leaders have the ability to move themselves and others to action because they understand the invisible forces that shape us.

Key Fundamentals on Successful Public Speaking Dale Carnergie, the Art of Public Speaking, 1915

● Keep talks short ● Stories are powerful ways of connecting emotionally with your audience ● Use rhetorical devices such as metaphors and analogies ● Use visual aids ● Enthusiasm, pace and strong delivery

3 ASPECTS TO A SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION OR SPEECH: There are three aspects to a successful presentation or speech:

1) Emotional: They touch my heart 2) Novel: They teach me something new 3) Memorable: They present content in ways I’ll never forget

Emotional:

● Great communicators reach your head and touch your heart ● Syncing your mind to that of your audience ● Mastering the art of storytelling and helping your listeners get emotionally attached to

your topic ● Exhibiting body language and verbal delivery that is genuine and natural, almost as if

they are having a conversation Novel:

● Novelty is the single most effective way to capture a person’s attention ● Only that which is truly unique and unexpected can stand out ● Delivering jaw dropping moments ● Carefully, consciously design and deliver “wow” moments ● Genuine Humour: Unique to each presenter and you must learn how to use it

Memorable

● 18 Minutes is the perfect time to get your point across ● Creating vivid, multisensory experiences so that your audience can recall the experience

more successfully ● Staying in your own lane - becoming a public speaker that people can trust

LESSON 2 PASSION AND EMOTIONS : Secret #1: Passion is contagious (PATHOS, in the logos, pathos and ethos part of the equation) Passion is contagious. You cannot inspire others until you are inspired yourself. You have a much greater chance of persuading and inspiring your listeners if you express an enthusiastic, passionate and meaningful connection to your audience. WATCH!

WATCH! SIMON SINEK Key Ted Talks

● Start with Why -

● https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action People cannot inspire others unless and until they are inspired themselves. Our levels of desire, patience, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers . Finding your passion: What makes your heart sing? What makes you very excited and what is something that you want to do every day, something that makes you happy every day to do? Do you want to speak about what you are about to speak about? Successful speakers can’t wait to share their ideas. Charisma: Directly associated with how much passion the speaker has for their content

● Successful speakers have a JOY for SHARING their experience and passion for how their ideas, products or services will benefit their audiences.

● They know exactly how their message will affect their audience. ● Your goal has to be altruistic, designed to help people live better, more successful and

happier lives “People who are joyful about their work make the best public speakers” Entrepreneurial passion catalyzes full-blown emotional experiences, complete with engagement of brain and body responses. A positive, intense feeling that you experience for something that is profoundly meaningful for you as an individual. Core to your self-identity, core to your being, it defines who you are. PASSION influences others: Nothing great has ever been achieved without enthusiasm SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PASSIONATE PEOPLE: When you are surrounded by people, a collective number of people rallying around a collective purpose, anything is possible. IN CLASS TASKS:

● Students must list 10 things they love to do in life. It could be anything that comes to mind (10 Minutes)

LESSON 3 BECOME A MASTER OF STORYTELLING Bryan Stephenson, the TED talk with the greatest standing ovation in TED history, featured stories for 65% of his presentation. Stories allow us to capture our audience’s souls and communicate in a genuine way that really touches the hearts and minds of everyone. The Greek Philosopher Aristotle, one of the founding fathers of communication theory, outlined the three aspects of a good public speaker. LOGOS, PATHOS and EHTOS. LOGOS - Persuasion through logic, data and statistics PATHOS - Passion and emotions ETHOS - Credibility of the speaker The breakdown of a successful public speaking is as follows, with passion and personal insights making the majority of a fantastic presentation.

10% Ethos 25% Logos 65% Pathos The moral of the story? Add more stories, anecdotes and personal insights. STORYTELLING:

● Introduce heroes and villains ● Introduce a problem, then introduce a solution ● Stories affirm our life meaning. Stories affirm who we are. We’re born for stories. We all

want affirmations that our lives have meaning COMPASSION: What is compassion? According to Wikipedia, it’s a sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. If you are compassionate and you have an identity with your subject this is very important in getting in touch with your audience. You have to have a very specific.
