Reset, Refocus, and Excel with these 3 Easy Steps:

1. Explore and reset your mindset: Each one of you has your own mindsets. What do I mean by mindset? A mind set is an experience that shapes how you will interpret and react to the next experience.  There are 3 mindsets: fixed, growth, and benefit. These mindsets develop your belief system and your ability to reset, your relationships, your productivity, and team-dynamics. When you see a challenge or obstacle your mindset affects how you interpret it, which in turn affects your opportunity for growth and learning. If you change your teams’ mindset you can increase motivation, learning ability, and productivity, and embrace challenges with grace.
2. Understand what motivates your team: Team motivation is the foundation for growth. There are certain things that energize your team to perform. Build your list of elements that motivate your team.
