Winning in Learning Tip #48: Be Kind to Yourself
In education, a winning mindset is rooted in understanding the brain’s role in learning, well-being, and performance. Neuroscience shows that engaging the mind can authentically drive deeper connections, motivation, and success. The key to happiness is in the drive, not the achievement. Our goal is to provide weekly tips and strategies for building a winning mindset and a generative drive to help you build a connected culture and a more engaged workforce.

A key takeaway from Amna:
“I invite you to be kind to yourself! That’s the one takeaway I want you to take with you. Because what you’re programmed to do is to think you have to be really hard on yourself and if you are hard on yourself that is going to make you successful. Studies show that it doesn’t work that way. That is probably why you’re procrastinating that project you really want to get done or that next role you want to go for. You have to be your ally. I invite you to talk to yourself with the same kindness you would talk to a friend or even a stranger.”
