4. MINDSET
Learn what distinguishes a growth mindset from a fixed mindset, how to cultivate a growth mindset, and use your mindset to move towards your goals.

What Participants are Saying
Best program of my life! – Geeta
Throughout the program, I have had numerous “Aha” moments that have transformed how I view myself, my career, and my potential. The knowledge and insights I’ve gained have been invaluable, and I only wish I could have taken this program years ago. It has been a game-changer for my personal and professional growth. – Kristi
The entire course opened my eyes to a host of potential ways forward for me, professionally and personally, as I was stuck in my “you’re lucky to have what you have” mindset. Some options and pathways were discussed in our sessions that I didn’t even know were available to me. To say the whole 8-week course was empowering and motivating would be an understatement. – Lisa
Equipt Women has helped me to grow more confident in both my work life and personal life. I was surrounded by a community of women who made me feel incredibly supported and heard. Because of this program, I now have the ability to self-advocate, lean on my values, and show up how I have envisioned myself to show up in life. – Hayley
I can’t recommend Momentum enough. – Tess
