Mindsets-Based Empowerment
Our mindsets are the inherent attitudes and perspectives we carry that influence how we view ourselves and the world. These attitudes and perspectives determine the quality of our lives, how we connect with others, our decisions, and our actions.
Mindsets-Based Empowerment, or MBE, is the personal application of the seven most essential growth mindsets. When we adopt these mindsets, we reimagine our dreams, discover our strengths, and relentlessly pursue a meaningful life with passion and vigor. Communities are transformed when youth are empowered to think differently. Our mission is to open the hearts and minds of our youth so they may dream, imagine, and build a better world.
Inspiring a Better World
In 2008, we launched a three-year study that asked a single question: What allows an individual to find happiness in life? The research concluded that it is how a person thinks, revealing the 7 Mindsets. The 7 Mindsets are the attitudes and perspectives that lead to a meaningful life filled with passion and joy. We spent the last 15 years sharing the mindsets with youth worldwide, and millions of lives have been positively changed.
The Empowering Minds Conference is a transformational experience and pioneering force in mindsets-based empowerment. The conference is specially crafted for champions of youth to learn proven strategies that empower youth to dream bigger, tap into their passions, work better with others, be more accountable, and act with a greater sense of purpose.
The 7 Mindsets’ impact on youth has been thoroughly researched and peer-reviewed, demonstrating a significant improvement in hope, optimism, behavior, achievement, and more.
