You will find out about the ability of the brain to learn new things and the types of mindsets that contribute to the process. You will also learn that it is okay to make mistakes and receive guidance on how to achieve a growth mindset.
Building solid relationships and defusing conflict are key abilities to maintain a healthy professional and personal life. You will learn about these in module two, Emotional Intelligence.
