We probably cannot go thru a day without putting a LABEL on someone. We encounter people we tag as kind, mean, grateful, self-centered, and on and on.

The danger with a LABEL is we have a default way of thinking that it can never change that it is always fixed. The most dangerous practice of LABELING involves how we LABEL ourselves. Carol Dwerck wrote a book called Mindset that says that all LABELS (our mindset) are not fixed, it is possible to have LABELS evolve. It is possible to change them.

In her bestseller, she shows how success in relationships, education, a career, on a team, our creativity and almost every area of human behavior and performance is influenced by the LABELS we give ourselves. I will repeat what I wrote in the last paragraph not all LABELS are fixed they can be altered.

Maybe all you need today is just to listen to Rock Thomas story. Rock Thomas is the founder of Rock Thomas International

What fixed LABEL are you going to start working on changing?

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
