I am the Co-Founder of the Growth Mindset Institute (GMI), an organisation dedicated to fostering high-performance cultures that are innovative, inclusive, diverse, and supportive across the education, business, and government sectors, alongside John Rives. Our core focus is on leveraging a growth mindset for leadership development, behavioural change, and organisational culture. We continually invest in research and development (R&D) to advance our knowledge and expertise. My collaboration with Professor Carol Dweck of Stanford University has been instrumental in translating academic research on growth mindset into practical, impactful applications. Prior to establishing GMI, I served as the CEO of the de Bono Institute, working closely with Dr Edward de Bono, the creator of the "Six Thinking Hats" and "Lateral Thinking" methodologies. In that role, I led substantial consulting and research projects aimed at enhancing creativity and innovation in educational and corporate environments. I regularly speak at international forums and conferences, including co-presenting with Dr Edward de Bono at the United Nations, where we discuss the significance of creative thinking for global development. I have also presented alongside Professor Carol Dweck at numerous conferences and was featured in the documentary "Rewire Your Brain: Tod Sampson on Creativity." My contributions to growth mindset theory and practice have been recognised in several academic and professional publications. Notably, I coined the term "false growth mindset," identifying a critical pitfall where growth mindset theory was superficially applied, focusing merely on effort without integrating effective strategies, mentorship, and genuine learning behaviours (Dweck, 2016; Barger et al., 2022). Professor Dweck explicitly credited me for highlighting this issue, noting that I "recognised, before we did, that many educators were misunderstanding the growth mindset or implementing it in ineffective ways" (Dweck, 2016). John Rives and I conceptualised and co-developed the Mindset Profiler, a validated assessment tool created in collaboration with researchers Mary Murphy and Katie Mueks, under the guidance of Professor Carol Dweck. This tool helps individuals, teams, and organisations identify and manage specific "fixed mindset triggers," such as feedback, setbacks, comfort zones, and challenges, thereby fostering a resilient and persistent growth mindset. (Murphy & Yeager, 2024). Our work integrates neuroscience, behavioural science, clinical psychology, cognitive development and further demonstrates how fixed mindset triggers activate emotional threat responses in the brain, and our interventions help people consciously engage courage and resilience responses (Mackie, 2021; Murphy, 2024). Through my ongoing collaboration with Professor Dweck, Mary Murphy, David Yeager, and other thought leaders, my work continues to shape educational and organisational policies. My approach emphasises authentic practice and systemic support rather than superficial slogans, and my contributions have been pivotal in shifting the mindset discourse from theoretical concepts to sustainable, evidence-based practices, impacting educators, leaders, and organisations globally (Memari et al., 2024; Aus et al., 2021; Yeager et al., 2022). John Rives, prior to co-founding GMI, served as the CEO of one of Australia's top 50 private companies, bringing over 20 years of experience in the service industry. With his deep knowledge and expertise in AI, Customer Experience, System Development, and Growth, he continues to consult and assist Governments and Organisations with complex integration challenges. Together, John and I have built the Growth Mindset Institute into a global leader in mindset assessment, program design, and delivery. Our combined efforts continue to influence educational and organisational practices worldwide, promoting authentic growth mindset cultures that lead to meaningful and sustainable change. Some of our clients include Microsoft, JDE Coffee, Johnson & Johnson, AWS, Westpac, NUBS, Medtronic, Allianz, Kemin, Conagra, Procter & Gamble, and RGA.
