Our Methodology

At Good Enough to Grow, we have designed our personal development methodology to reflect our own experience.  We have used ourselves as guinea pigs in the laboratory of life to research what works and what doesn't.  We aspire to help people who discover our methodology and connect with it on a deeply personal level.  Belief in our methodology is critical to achieving successful results. 

Our personal development methodology is based on five core principles:

• Growth is available to every individual, because all human beings are worthy of achieving their potential.

• Growth is possible when an individual willingly steps out of their comfort zone.

• Growth is sustainable when an individual feels 'good enough' in the present moment.

• Growth is a source of physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well being.

• Growth is not a finite resource. It exists in abundance and should be shared with others.

introducing your four Growth MINdset 'super powers'

Having a growth mindset is the magic ingredient when dealing with unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours during periods of study and when sitting exams. At Good Enough to Grow we focus on four attitudes that experience has shown us are common in those people who achieve healthy, sustainable growth and exam success.  We call these four attitudes your 'Mindset Super Powers'.  Injecting these super powers into your mindset will cause a chain reaction of change which will enable you to move outside your comfort zone, where all growth and success lives.

Commitment

Commitment is the first and most important of the four mindset super powers. It is the source of all your effort to achieve your desired goals. When effort is combined with purpose and discipline you can achieve exceptional levels of commitment. To flourish during long periods of study, including demanding exams, you need to put all your effort into your course, remain disciplined in following your study plan and have a strong sense of purpose for completing the programme.

Courage

Courage is the mindset super power that enables you to leap outside your comfort zone, where growth and success live. Pushing yourself to your limits to achieve results in an exam takes a lot of bravery. It means staring down the risk of failure. When you can get comfortable with discomfort, be resilient to pressure and remain true to who you are you will find the courage to tackle any challenge you encounter during your course or your exam.

Curiosity

Curiosity in the mindset super power that fuels learning, development and growth. It is the catalyst for asking questions in class. It is the desire to know the unknown. Engagement during your study requires you to be open to new ideas, concepts and techniques. You must learn to absorb knowledge and integrate it with other skills to produce value in your exams and your work. Curiosity will keep you asking the questions ‘Why do I need to know this?’ and ‘How can I apply this knowledge and experience to add value to my life?’

Introducing the three stages for growth

All growth is a result of learning and development.  Our experience of working with individuals and organisations, over 22 years, tells us that learning and development is a process made up of three key stages; a FOUNDATION of knowledge, REFLECTION upon strengths and areas for development, ACTION to acquire skills and experience.  We apply these three stages to each of the Mindset Super Powers to develop and strengthen them until they create momentum for growth towards achieving your personal and / or professional goals.
