Growing up as a people pleaser and “fixer,” I survived by hiding my struggles; on the outside, I appeared to have it all together, but on the inside, I was miserable. I developed a process to fix my own mindset and now teach others to do the same with my message, Your Mindset Gives You Power. I am an expert in mindset development, a professor at Texas A&M University, an educational consultant, and the owner of Learning Engaged. In my academic career, I have spoken at over 100 conferences and given dozens of invited presentations. As an educator for over 20 years, I have seen the impact destructive mindsets have on learning, self-esteem, and well-being in myself, my colleagues, and my students. These mindsets have the potential to completely derail a person or lead them to success. While we have all heard that we should think positively, if it were that easy, we would do it. Instead, we experience a gap between theory and practice. The disconnect comes when we do not know how to take action to change our mindset. Through my research and experience, I have worked with people for decades to help them influence their mindsets. I have created actionable strategies to take this relatively abstract concept of mindset development to an actionable state. As a result, I have helped thousands of people take power over their mindset.
