About: In this module, you will be learning about self-evaluation and growth. Both topics are important aspects of personal and professional development. Self-evaluation involves reflecting on your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, fostering self-awareness and a deeper understanding of your capabilities. Growth, on the other hand, encompasses the intentional steps and strategies you can take to expand your skills, knowledge, and overall potential.

1. One takeaway from this presentation would most likely be the self-evaluation it's a powerful tool for understanding your strengths and weaknesses setting between what you are good at and what you're not, each person has their own ones, some may be better in some things and some less better not mean one is better then the other just everyone has their disadvantages and advantages.
2. Growth to me means the process of development, expansion, or increase. Growth among yourself can be within a couple of seconds or years maybe, it's progress that takes the time YOU put into yourself.

I learned the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed and improved over time, while those with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities are innate and cannot be changed. I also learned the Importance of self evaluation. Self-evaluation is crucial for personal growth. It helps you identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Through reflection, you gain insight into your values, goals, and achievements. It fosters self-awareness, enhances decision-making, and promotes continuous learning.

Extrinsic motivations involve external rewards or…

From this presentation, I learned what a growth mindset is compared to a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is a mindset in which one believes their skills are still, they cannot improve. A growth mindset takes experiences and makes a person think what can they do to grow from it. A fixed mindset avoids challenges, gives up easily, sees effort as pointless, ignores constructive criticism, and feels threatened by the success of others. A growth mindset, on the other hand embraces said challenges, persists in the face of obstacles, sees effort as a path to mastery, accepts constructive criticism, and learns from the success of others. Fixed mindsets and growth mindsets are two polar opposites from one another.…
Flores Olmedo, Norma My Key takeaways from this presentation is the importance of self evaluation and growth. I learn the importance of your mind and how the way you think of things can affect your results at work. It’s important to have a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset. A growth mindset is the ability to see failures as a growing opportunity rather than something that can hold you back, seeing challenges with a positive attitude, that new things would be fun to try and even if they don’t work out in the end then it’s okay. A fixed mindset is the thought that failures are just the limit of your abilities, that if you can’t do something then you’ll…
