During June, we brought our community together for our first Leadership Mindsets Festival.

We celebrated our alumni’s business achievements and personal successes of the past decade — and looked ahead to a future of even greater impact, connection, and results, powered by leaders using Mighty Mindsets in their most high-stakes moments.

This work presented a unique and golden opportunity to gather further insight and data on the effectiveness of a wide range of leadership mindsets and the methods for creating them. 

This builds on the data already drawn from over 800 mindsets, gathered across:

• A decade of delivering Mighty Mindsets workshops
• Lena, our digital mindset auditor (created in partnership with the team at Langwith Research)
• The Individual Leadership Transformation programmes

Unhelpful mindsets, which comprised 74% of the default mindsets that leaders brought to high-stakes circumstances before Mighty Mindsets training, included:

Festival participants chose empowering identities and created an inventory of Mighty Mindset #2s to draw on. 

Through this work, already exceptional leaders paused to reflect, re-anchor, and consciously choose how they want to lead going forwards. What they’ve set in motion is powerful — and we can’t wait to see what they create from here!
