Learning to Fly

Inspire Group CEO Dan Tohill interviews Inspire Group Leadership Development Manager Nic Veltman on the topic of mindset and leadership and why it's so important.

"Everybody talks about growth mindset and how you can only achieve outcomes, goals and aspirations if you have a growth mindset. I completely disagree. I truly believe that everyone has both a growth mindset and a fixed mindset and they use them interchangeably every single day."

Nic Veltman
Inspire Group Leadership Development Manager
