303. Maintaining a Growth Mindset As We Age – Every Day’s a School Day

Send us Fan MailIn this first episode in our 4-part Thriving Through Life Changes mini-series, we explore what it means to keep a growth mindset as we acquire more experience and wisdom -  alongside potentially more bias and baggage! Growth doesn’t have an age limit; age and maturity don't necessarily arrive together. It can be reassuring to remember that there is no point at which we become the finished version of ourselves. Every day is a school day. And that's good for us – it keeps us looking forward rather than settling in.In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Andreea Batrinu, who shares her experiences of what happens when we intentionally stay curious, keep learning and remain open to possibility throughout our lives and careers. Drawing on her own journey from Romania to building a career in UK aviation, Andreea shares why she chooses ‘yes, and…’ over ‘yes, but…’, and the value of stepping beyond what feels comfortable. As many people are feeling overwhelmed by life and work at the moment, she reminds us why sometimes we simply need to start before we have everything figured out.From simply taking a different route to Tesco... to making life-changing career moves, it’s a brilliant reminder that every day really can be a school day.
