    Fixed vs Growth Mindset and The Results in Leadership with Jake Thompson

    In this special episode recorded live at The Impact Driven Leader Annual Summit, Tyler Dickerhoof sits down with Jake Thompson, a leading speaker, author, and the founder of Compete Every Day, where he helps individuals and teams develop mental toughness, embrace challenges, and pursue their goals with determination.  The conversation highlights the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset. Jake explains that a fixed mindset sees abilities as unchangeable, avoids challenges, and rejects feedback. In contrast, a growth mindset embraces feedback, sees challenges as opportunities, and believes skills can grow with effort. He also shares research on childhood praise, showing that praising effort builds resilience while praising results creates fragile confidence. Jake emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal growth ("running your race"), taking small, consistent steps toward big goals, and relying on core values and strong relationships to navigate leadership challenges.
