The Self-Developer in Growth-Mindset Organisations
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR CHANGE
Real transformation does not come about through strategy papers, but through the daily behaviour of people in the company. In this presentation, Andrew Bannon explains how the attitude of the self-developer (Jens Corssen) practically complements the growth mindset (Carol Dweck) and the concept of psychological safety (Amy Edmondson). This creates an environment in which experimentation is encouraged, feedback is valued and change becomes a shared source of strength.
CONTENT
Static ways of thinking block you: If you constantly have to prove how good you are, you close yourself off to growth. A growth mindset, on the other hand, means recognising that skills can be developed – through effort, openness and perseverance. Andrew Bannon combines these insights with the philosophy of the self-developer and shows how teams can learn to deal productively with setbacks, use constructive feedback as a resource and celebrate successes together. Neuroscientific findings on the plasticity of the brain emphasise that change is possible at any age. This creates a culture in which individual development and corporate goals go hand in hand.
Key messages
Awareness of one’s own thinking habits is the basis for growth and real change.
Obstacles and defeats are not stop signs, but rather transit points – supported by self-confidence.
Growth mindset can be learnt: with neuroplasticity, old thought patterns can be overcome and new skills developed.
Target group
Employees and management teams who want to promote an open, learning-orientated and courageous culture in their company

Customer testimonials
“I received only positive feedback on Mr Bannon’s lecture. I think Mr Bannon’s humorous, but also down-to-earth and honest manner was the key factor here that ensured openness and enthusiasm. I wouldn’t know what to criticise at this point. The presentation was entertaining and exciting, and fitted perfectly into the overall context of the day and underlined our message for change.
Charline Dänzer “The way you presented was really entertaining and showed a fine sense of (seemingly British) humour. The fact that the talk was discussed in all the following breaks proves that you raised and discussed important points for the self-development of all participants. Even the next day, some presentations already referred to quotes from your speech. In summary, your talk was an exciting highlight.”
