This talk will explore the “growth mindset”, the evidence-based view that talents are developed rather than genetic. It provides practical tips on how to develop new skills with limited time, and highlights the importance of pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. 

The talk will also discuss the “abundance mentality”, that serving others grows the pie for all, rather than increasing others’ slice at your expense. It examines how to serve effectively, in a disciplined way that does not lead to you accepting every request.
