Having a growth mindset means viewing failures and setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than seeing them as a reflection of your intelligence or your self-worth.

Our guest, Krista Satterthwaite, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise’s Mainstream Compute, shares that when you embrace a growth mindset, you shouldn't see failure as a defeat, but rather as a chance to learn and improve future actions and decisions toward success.

However, Krista also highlights that having a growth mindset does not guarantee that you will always "win”. There will be times when despite your best efforts, things may not go as planned, and you may not achieve your desired outcome.

Join me in this conversation with Krista as we discuss how she prepares for difficult conversations, getting what you deserve and staying intentional and focused on your goals.
