Improve your performance: ADAPT YOUR THINKING

Recognise how your strengths and mindset preferences impact your career in Speech and Language Therapy.

Whether choosing what to eat, buying a house, or growing a business, life is full of decisions to make, tasks to approach, and teams to work within. Psychologists know our mindset and behavioural style preferences influence how we perform these things.

When it comes to mindset, we all see the world in different ways. Perhaps you see a world full of opportunities and look to take bold action toward your goals. Or maybe you’re more likely to approach tasks in a pragmatic and prudent way – making sure you don’t make mistakes to ensure consistency of results. Both have strengths. The key is to know how to leverage them.

Learning lessons from high performance athletes, psychologist Dr Mark Bawden will help you recognise your strengths and mindset preferences, understanding how to leverage them as strengths, whilst being aware of how they can also become potential weaknesses. Mark’s a performance psychologist and co-founder of Mindflickwith experience across elite sport, education, health, and business. He was Team GB Head Psychologist at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
