Develop your Grit & Growth at this Summer Retreat

original allison wolf Grit and Growth SQUAREHow and why do we sabotage our own success? And make choices that shift us away from what matters most?

Answers lie in Stanford University’s recent research into the science of mindsets, and the power of growth mindset to move us towards an ongoing, active pursuit of learning, challenge, and mastery.

The Grit and Growth Summer Retreat in the City is designed for lawyers of all years of call to explore growth mindset and learn to apply it to your legal practice.

In this half day program you will learn:

  • recent science-based discoveries about mindset
  • growth and positive stress mindsets that give rise to enhanced resilience, greater ability to deal with adversity, and a trait known as “grit”
  • the connection between grit and growth mindset and success in legal practice
    the American Bar Association’s undertakings in this area
  • We will directly apply grit and growth mindset to the challenges of legal practice, such as handling a heavy workload, dealing with negative feedback, and managing difficult clients.

In this retreat you will:

  • Access tools to determine your levels of grit and growth mindset
  • Uncover the impediments to your own progress and strategies to overcome these
  • Identify your strengths and how to best leverage these for success
  • Develop your own personal plan for applying growth mindset in your personal and professional life
  • The Grit and Growth Summer Retreat balances teaching and training with periods of coach-guided, independent reflection.

The program goes well beyond the usual advice you hear about resilience and well-being. With game-changing, practical insights that lawyers can apply directly for success in legal practice, the coach-guided retreat format also provides a contemplative experience where new ideas and concepts can be immediately put into practice.
