Pigs can fly!

But only if they've been on the Laughology growth mindset workshop for workplaces

GROWTH MINDSET WORKSHOP CONTENT

Transform your team from "know-it-alls" to "learn-it-alls" with our growth mindset workshop. Empower them to embrace change, conquer challenges and become problem-solving pros. 

It’s time to say hello to a culture where the impossible becomes possible—even airborne farm yard animals!

Ever feel like your team is stuck in a rut? Whether it’s Brian from accounts, who’s married to his yawn-inducing pie charts or Clare from HR, who won’t embrace the shared calendar, some people don’t like change.

Perhaps you’ve even heard the words, “What has that got to do with me?” or “I thought that was your job!”

It’s frustrating, right?

After all, what you’d love to hear is, “Let’s find a solution” or “I’ll give it a go!”

Well, we’re here to make that happen.

Our Growth Mindset workshop helps shift even the most stubborn mindsets. We’re not just talking about slapping a new coat of paint on old ideas either; we're talking about a full-on, transformative experience.

Here’s what we bring to the office party, boosting your team's ability to:

  • Understand the science and psychology of growth and fixed mindset and how our belief system impacts how we see ourselves, situations and other people
  • Recognise when fixed thinking and behaviours are getting in the way of progress and ways to challenge this and move forward
  • Create a feedback culture that promotes continuous learning and high performance.
  • Develop ways to review setbacks as learning opportunities so mistakes aren’t wasted but part of progress
  • Help people become solution-focused and know how to problem solve when stuck, enabling smarter ways of working
  • Skill to adapt and flex to change and new ideas, supporting transformation and change through diversity of thought and action

We’ll help you create a workplace where learning and growth are as common as coffee breaks, transforming your team into resilient problem-solvers who embrace change and thrive in the face of challenges. Say goodbye to change fatigue and hello to a team of adaptable innovators.

So, if you’re ready to turn your team into growth-mindset superheroes, contact us to chat about our workshop or a tailored session. We’ll get your folks evolving faster than technology—yes, even Brian from accounts.

Growth Mindset FAQs

How long is a session?
For people to have a good understanding of theory and practical application, we recommend a half day. However, we recognise that all teams are different, and this might not suit all, or some might want longer. In this case, we can shorten and extend sessions to suit your needs.
How do we embed this?
We recommend a series of sessions with action learning between each session (facilitated mini group sessions, virtual or face-to-face, that use real workplace challenges to discuss how practical techniques learnt during the session could be used to address the challenge. Groups agree on a way forward and give it a go, then come back together to discuss what went well and what they might need to do differently)
Who is this relevant for?
We recommend tailored sessions for different levels. For managers, it would cover how to support people using growth mindset tools and techniques, and for teams, a language and set of behaviours that are shared.
Is it delivered virtually or face-to-face?
We’ve learned to be learning experts in any setting. Our online delivery is as engaging as our face-to-face workshops. We use a variety of webinar platforms and can create learning packages to suit your team's location. Chat with us about your team's location and how they work, and we’ll share ideas.
What is a growth mindset?

Ever heard of Carol Dweck? She's like the Sherlock Holmes of the brain world, uncovering the mystery of why some of us are like elastic bands, stretching with every challenge, while others are more like old rubber boots, comfortable but not great at adapting. Thanks to her, 'growth mindset' is now a phrase commonly used in the workplace. Think of it as your brain's secret sauce for learning and bouncing back.

Not so long ago, we thought our brains were like old-school computers – limited hard drives, what you see is what you get. But Dweck showed us that our noggins are more like smartphones, constantly updating and downloading new apps of knowledge and skills. It's all about believing in the brain’s capacity to grow.

How does a growth mindset help create high-performing teams?

In a high-performing team, a growth mindset isn't just nice to have; it's like the office Wi-Fi – essential for connection and progress. It’s the difference between saying “I can’t do this” and “I can’t do this yet.” Teams with this mindset are innovation powerhouses, where setbacks are more 'aha' moments than 'oh no' disasters.

Meanwhile, a fixed mindset is like still owning a flip phone in the age of smartphones. Sure, it makes calls, but you're missing out on so much more.

Without flexibility and the motivation to grow, people fear change rather than feel inspired by it. Not only that, but it takes time and effort to develop your people, and turnover continues to rise as those who resist change leave or feel ill-equipped to adapt. High-performing teams are agile and can adapt quickly, working together well to support each other and challenge where necessary for continuous improvement.

We're feeling the love!

“We had a job on our hands to bring two new teams together. We needed to think differently about the future and what this means for our players and communities that we support. Laughology has helped us do this in a way that is fun and engaging and has helped us kick-start our transformation. We’re looking forward to phase two.”
