The Mindset Practice Difference

Rich Cook founded Mindset Practice to bring the power of mindset change and Growth to everyone. Working in partnership with Jackie Grier, focusing their expertise of applied EI facilitation and occupational psychology to help people to perform more consistently from Growth.

They have developed our integrated practical tools and psychometrics in collaboration with our most trusted customers and partners.

Feedback from participants and a growing research base suggests their mindset practice of EI delivers sustained changes in performance, wellbeing and genuine application back in the workplace.

Everyone has the potential to operate from a mindset of Growth or Survival, and to reach our full potential we have to learn to manage Survival habits, and nurture and exploit our Growth habits.

Inspired and underpinned by a fusion of humanistic psychology and evidence-based practice, our approach to development is founded on several guiding principles:

• Everyone has the potential to operate from a mindset of Growth or Survival, and to reach our full potential we have to learn to manage Survival habits, and nurture and exploit our Growth habits.

• We all have an innate ability to own our learning and develop new Growth habits.

• Learning sticks when it is real, practical, and experiential.

• Our core mindset of self -belief and belief in others is fundamental to our ability to show up more consistently from Growth.

• Technology supports people's development best when it enables rather than replaces experiential learning.
