67. How Do We Foster a Beginner's Mindset?

Our podcast is all about celebrating fresh starts, or piloting journeys, and sometimes part of trying something new or starting over is learning to be a beginner again. Whether you’re picking up a new hobby or career, or just trying to stay at the top of your game for something you’ve been doing for years, having a beginner’s mindset is crucial. We discuss: - leading with curiosity and an open mind - getting comfortable trying new things and failing - the pitfalls of overpreparation - the Japanese concept of “shoshin” - tips for maintaining a beginner’s mindset - balancing confidence and ego when you’re already an “expert” - finding a “beginner buddy” - & so much more!
