I first met Lucy five years ago on a “Managing Personal Change Effectively” course organised by CABA, the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Association, which Lucy presented. It was the first time that a personal development course resonated with me as she introduced me to Carol Dweck’s work on the growth mindset and neuroscience concepts. This inspired me to start my personal development journey, which helped bring about the “Reframe & Reset Your Career” podcast so thank you Lucy!

Lucy is also a big fan of Dorie Clark and she showed one of Dorie’s talks on the course. This was the first time that I had heard of Dorie’s work, which inspired me to reach out to Dorie, we connected and Dorie kindly agreed to be a future guest on the podcast! I had a great conversation with Lucy, the time just flew by and our discussion included the following:

Fixed versus Growth Mindset,

Developing a Growth Mindset,

Dealing with Failure,

Neuroplasticity and its implications,

Reframing and looking at the reality of the situation,
