Overview:
In recruitment, long-term success isn’t just driven by talent or effort, it’s driven by how you interpret challenges, setbacks, and feedback over time.
This session explores the concept of a growth mindset and why it is the foundation of consistent performance, career progression, and long-term success in a high-pressure, results-driven environment.
You’ll learn how top performers think differently about failure, rejection, and development, and how these thinking patterns directly influence their actions, resilience, and ability to improve.
We’ll break down the difference between fixed and growth mindsets, how they show up in day-to-day recruitment activity, and why some consultants plateau while others continue to evolve and outperform.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to:
- Reframe challenges, rejection, and feedback as opportunities to improve
- Identify and shift fixed mindset thinking patterns that limit performance
- Build a more adaptive, resilient approach to learning and development
The live delivery of this webinar will be on Thursday 13 August at 11:00am - 12:00pm AEDT // 1:00pm - 2:00pm NZDT.

Meet the facilitator: Paul McCormack

Before training with one of the world's leading coaches and becoming a certified Executive Performance Coach and Positive Psychology specialist, Paul spent the majority of his corporate career in middle management roles in the finance, recruitment, and legal industries across London and Sydney.
In 2020, a break from alcohol sparked a deeper personal development journey. What began as a short experiment became a catalyst for sustained change, leading to three successive promotions, the creation of two online businesses, and the strongest physical and mental health of his life.
Today, Paul works with professionals who want to operate at their best, sustainably. His work focuses on gaining clarity around what matters, aligning values with actions, and optimising mindset, habits, and energy so success feels purposeful rather than forced.
