#32: Q&A with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson — 4 Critical Mindsets for Success

Is your way of thinking the best way to think?  This is a question Dr. Ryan Gottfredson asks in his brand new book, Success Mindsets, currently available in audio and E-book format and scheduled to be released in print form on May 5, 2020. While many have focused narrowly on different mindsets, Dr. Gottfredson pioneered a widespread study and synthesis of all critical mindsets for achieving success. On this podcast episode, we explore 4 specific mindsets each person can cultivate to achieve greater success: a growth mindset; an open mindset; a promotion mindset; and an outward mindset. Dr. Gottfredson is a mental success coach and cutting-edge leadership consultant, author, trainer, and researcher. He helps improve organizations, leaders, teams, and employees by improving their mindsets. In addition, Ryan is a leadership and management professor at California State University-Fullerton (CSUF). Dr. Gottfredson did his undergraduate work at Brigham Young University, and he holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from Indiana University.  Connect with Dr. Gottfredson on LinkedIn and find his work on ryangottfredson.com.   Find full show notes at https://www.calwalters.me/.
