Mental Muscle Building for Leaders: Navigating Wild Times with a Growth Mindset
Ready for a kickstart toward mental strength and entrepreneurial resilience? The past months have been a wild ride for many companies, filled with uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. Business climates have suffered, and overlapping crises are far from fostering booming revenues and corporate growth. Yet, it is precisely in such storms that true “leadership” is revealed—those who remain mentally and emotionally stable.
What’s the key? Mindset! Or more specifically, the Growth Mindset as described by Carol Dweck. This mindset is about embracing challenges—not just as obstacles to endure, but as opportunities for personal growth. During times of corporate crises, this mindset is particularly valuable for leaders. A Growth Mindset helps them stay less overwhelmed by fear during uncertain times—fear that can otherwise lead to irritability, decision paralysis, and impulsive actions. And these are precisely the traits employees don’t need right now. Instead, they need emotionally stable leaders who radiate psychological safety and confidence.
Vaya Wieser-Weber is not only a gifted speaker but also a passionate entrepreneur. Her firsthand experience has taught her exactly what it takes to remain capable and flexible when the pressure feels insurmountable. She has developed strategies for acting entrepreneurially during turbulent times—while always keeping in mind the people under one’s care. Her methods help leaders better cope with the mental challenges of navigating modern, ever-changing companies.
In her inspiring keynote, she shares these strategies with her audience, equipping them to face financial pressures and an uncertain global environment with greater poise and balance.
