Changing Mindsets: From Fixed Thinking to Free Thinking

Changing Mindsets: From Fixed Thinking to Free Thinking is a practical course designed to help individuals and teams unlock creativity and innovation by loosening rigid patterns of thought. Through a blend of psychology, self-reflection, and hands-on exercises, the course explores why our thinking becomes fixed—examining the influence of biology, upbringing, culture, personality, and situational factors.

Participants learn how to identify and challenge limiting beliefs, including negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, using proven tools such as cognitive reframing, curiosity-based questioning, and experimentation. The course offers practical strategies to cultivate a growth mindset—developing curiosity, embracing uncertainty, and learning through low-risk pilots and experiments.

Beyond individual mindset, the programme emphasises how organisational culture shapes thinking. It provides guidance on engaging people for innovation by creating safe spaces for experimentation, valuing contributions, and fostering a sense of purpose and belonging.

By the end of the course, learners will have a clear framework for freeing their thinking, empowering themselves and others to approach challenges with openness, confidence, and creativity—laying the foundation for a culture of sustainable improvement and continuous learning.
