About This Workshop

The biggest limiter on performance isn’t capability, as much as it is how people respond to challenges, and their willingness to improve.

When obstacles are seen as a signal to pull back, avoid risk, or stay within what’s already known, growth slows. Over time, individuals plateau, teams become less adaptable, and opportunities to improve get missed.

This doesn’t come from a lack of ambition, but from deeply ingrained patterns: avoiding what might expose weakness, taking setbacks personally, resisting feedback, and not actively cultivating growth.

Teams that improve quickly relate to difficulty differently. They treat growth as a continuous process: approaching challenges as opportunities, adapting quickly, and building new capabilities over time, treating setbacks as part of the process rather than a sign to stop.

In Growth Mindset, participants learn how to shift their response to challenge and build habits that support ongoing development — not occasionally, but consistently.

The result: people who take on harder problems, adapt faster, continue getting better over time, and have a desire to grow that feels like second nature.

Alex Simon

Founder of Lifeshop

Alex Simon is a Yale professor who teaches the emotional and communication skills we all should’ve learned in school—but didn’t.

She facilitates experiential workshops and courses on: how to have hard conversations, stop people-pleasing, listen better, navigate big life shifts, and more. Her sessions are deep, connective, practical, and—somehow—shockingly fun.

When she was 27, she started teaching at Yale: she created “The Self & Other: In Theory and Practice,” one of the university’s most sought-after courses.

In 2025, Alex founded Lifeshop, a school for adult emotional education in New York, which offers workshops for real life.

She also launched The School of Life in New York, and leads corporate workshops.

Before devoting her life to emotional education, Alex was a management consultant at Bain and worked in strategy and ops across sectors. She lived and trained at Plum Village, Esalen, and completed dozens of programs in mindfulness, communication, and personal development.
