Mindset Matters: What Offenses Can Teach Us about Influence and Identity

Have you ever felt a little defensive about something someone
said or did, and then the more you thought about it, the more you
felt a wall being formed, brick by brick, between you and the
other person? We all have moments where we feel isolated,
frustrated, or caught off guard by someone's words or actions. At
times, these events can feel like momentary glitches in our sense
of self, but other times, they can be full-scale identity
earthquakes that cause us to question the very core of who we
are. How we respond to these moments can give us a glimpse into
our social influences, our personal paradigms, and the unseen
factors that drive our beliefs and our behavior. Our offenses can
illuminate our allegiances. This week, in the second episode of
the Mindset Matters series, Dr. Dunne will equip you with the
tools you need to rise above faulty mindsets, deal with offenses,
and communicate hope to those in your realm of
influence.
