      The Growth Mindset - Joshua Moore

      Introduction

      If you’ve picked up this book, it is more than likely that you are feeling discontented with certain elements of your current life. Whether you are unsatisfied with how your personal or professional life path is progressing, or yes, even both, this book has been written to help you re-orient your position towards personal fulfillment and professional success.

      The main problem we’ve noticed with many self-help books of this ilk is that they immediately take on a distinct personality or character. If this personality resonates with you, then life is good and you will probably get a lot out of it. If the character of the book seems fake or impractical to you however, chances are you won’t even get past the first 15 or 20 pages. And even if you are in sync with the personality of the book, there seems always to be a real disconnect when it comes to the subject of scaffolding, or applying the great stuff you learned for personal growth to your professional growth, and vice versa, if it is addressed at all.

      This book will be different. WE guarantee it. How? Because we, the dynamic duo who have paired up to write this book are polar opposites when it comes to personality, life experience, motivation, individual and career focus, and how to achieve personal and professional growth. Sounds complicated? We like to think of ourselves as the perfect storm! Between the two of us and our different approaches, we pretty much cover the gamut of personal and professional growth challenges. Why? Paraphrasing the words of Jerry Maguire, from the movie of the same title, We complete each other. My coauthor is already gagging a bit; but there is truth in these cloying words, as you will soon see. Finally, how can we be so confident in our mission? We’ve already been to this rodeo. We recently coauthored a book called The Emotional Intelligence Spectrum: Explore Your Emotions and Improve Your Intrapersonal Intelligence. We were so pleased by the success and positive feedback from this book that we decided to become a bit more transparent and write in a unique, back and forth manner, sharing both our commonalities, but more often and more importantly, our differences in how we perceive, approach and conquer personal and professional growth challenges. Finally, we will always leave you at the conclusion of each chapter with The Big Takeaway; combining our forces for the common good and your future personal and professional growth success! And fortunately for you, it will be all cleaned up so you won’t have to witness our hair-pulling, name-calling creative process! Most of the time...

      ––––––––

      The Balancing Act of Personal Growth

      Joshua: Helen, who you will meet on the next page, and I had our first fight when I wanted to include the word ‘holistic’ in the title of this book. I find oftentimes that certain words get a bad rep when they are adopted by new age alternative treatment types. When used as a medical term, the word ‘holistic’ means the treatment of the whole person, taking into consideration the effect of mental and social factors rather than just diagnosing based upon the symptoms of the disease. This would necessitate including one’s environment (business or private) and status (personal or professional) when diagnosing and curing the dis-ease of growth challenges. All of a sudden ‘holistic’ is sounding a lot less airy fairy and a lot more necessary and practical. However, going along with the saying A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, I graciously conceded this point to my coauthor’s wishes, modeling compromise and team playing (both excellent personal AND professional growth tools!).

      This book will, thanks to our combined efforts, give you a complete, (holistic) yet practical plan; a roadmap, if you will, to self-fulfillment and/or career success. The choice is always yours to make, but as I always say, it takes balance to create an environment of optimal growth and opportunity. With that in mind, who better to pair up with in this venture than my polar opposite, a woman who has devoted her life to attaining career success, first for herself, and then paying it forward by sharing her wisdom and teaching others?

      I have spent my life as an author, researcher, eternal student of and life coach to individuals who are in search of finding balance in their lives. I’ve travelled the world presenting to and training people about what I consider are the truly important and complex personal growth issues that affect each and every one of us; and I make it my personal mission to explain these topics in what I hope is a simple but practical and impactful manner. I look forward to our time together in this book, and I relish the challenges and sometimes vastly different perspective of my writing colleague Helen, who without further ado, I now introduce to you!

      Growing Your Career to Its Maximum Potential

      Helen: Gee Thanks Josh! Ok. Let’s cut to the chase: my career development was (and still is) my main sphere of interests, my challenge and even my hobby. I have two Masters in Public Relations and Economics, as well as an MBA. I’ve managed to have a successful career in Marketing and Sales. Having reached the top of my profession, I decided to pay it forward and give a little back. I also work as a tenured teacher and trainer at corporate retreats and business conferences, specializing in soft business skills, including public speaking, self-marketing, corporate manipulation, and the art of persuasion and negotiation skills. Finally, as you already know, I’m also a published author.

      You’ve heard Josh’s sales pitch. Now it’s my turn: Professional Growth is the KEY. In my experience, life coaches are the PROBLEM. I’ve been to loads, including our friend Joshua. Most of the time all I’ve gotten from these guys and gals is additional frustration and a sizeable dent in my purse! All I wanted was for someone to tell me how to use personal growth techniques to better myself in business. Simple, right? But all they wanted to talk about was my feelings, my past traumas, my miscues and disconnects with peers and management, blah blah blah... And then there were the Kings and Queens of the Obvious. You know the type. They listen to you attentively, take a deep cleansing breath and then impart these pearls of wisdom: Ummm – shouldn’t a good product sell itself? or Why don’t you figure out how to attract more customers.  Ya think? Sometimes at the end of one of these sessions, I’d be sorely tempted to send them a bill for MY services, because it felt like I taught them more about how corporate business works than they taught me about scaffolding personal growth techniques around my career!

      Here's my bottom line: I passionately believe that
