October Mindset: Passion First
Passion First teaches that each of us is a unique expression of human existence and that our lives should be focused on finding our genius and sharing it with the world to the maximum extent possible. In this mindset, you will learn to make your dreams authentic, and they will give you the fuel to overcome the many obstacles you’ll face.
- Focus on Strengths: We all excel in different areas. When we focus on what we’re good at, we naturally perform better, gain confidence, and contribute positively to those around us.
- Explore Your Interests: We all have things we enjoy doing. When we do things that energize and engage us, we’re more focused, perform better, and improve faster.
- Take a Stand: We must pursue what truly matters to us. Inevitably, we’ll face challenges along the way, and a strong sense of connection to what we do allows us to persevere.
- Be Authentic: Our dreams must matter greatly to us and align with our strengths, interests, and core values.

Passion First in Practice
Simple ways to practice this mindset yourself and bring it to life with your team.
- For You: Think about the future and imagine the story of your life. In that story, you will find your core values that make you unique. These core values will create a foundation of strength for your life. Identify the values that define you, taking note of the most important ones. See the complete Educator Life Plan in the 7 Mindsets Platform.
- For Your Team: Here is an activity to build trust and a sense of belonging with your teammates: Connect with colleagues to quickly exchange ideas on how we can spark more joy, boost enthusiasm, and unlock our team’s full potential.
