When to use it
Use it when a change requires skills you do not yet have and you feel exposed.
How to apply it
- Notice fixed-mindset thoughts such as 'I am not a numbers person'.
- Add 'yet' to the thought: 'I am not confident with numbers yet'.
- Identify the specific strategy or help you need to improve.
- Seek feedback on your approach, not just your results.
- Record one example each week where effort led to improvement.
Tip: Effort alone is not the point; change strategy when something is not working.
