I’m KJ Walton founder of Growth Mindset by KJ Walton.

I’ve been working with Mindset principles for the last nine years and started my journey in schools as a teacher, surrounding children with messages and behaviours that all go to creating a culture where consideration of our Mindsets is forefront of everything that’s done day to day in the classroom & home. The messages of the philosophy are not just important for children but also adults who model to children through their own behaviour. Adults can, in turn, develop their own Mindsets which will enhance other areas of learning in their own lives.
