“My manager will never change”: believe it long enough and you stop offering ideas, and they really never do.
What we believe about ourselves, about others, and about what is possible shapes what we do until it comes true. The good news: you can choose your beliefs. This module helps you spot the beliefs that hold you back, feed more helpful ones without fooling yourself, and surround yourself with people who help you grow.
