as we age.

As we age, there is a gradual evolution of a proving mindset into an improving mindset. This may be because as we age, we simply become more self-aware – and it may also have something to do with confidence, males show improving self-confidence up until their early 40s, experience a mid-life dip, then experience rising confidence again until their mid-50s. At that point, their confidence tends to decline. Women, on the other hand, start out less confident, but show steady increases from their mid-20s until their mid- 60s, ending up more confident than the men.
it is easier to change a person’s behavior than to change their attitudes. And mindset – whether “proving” or “improving” — is most certainly a complex set of attitudes. We recommend that anyone wanting to move toward a growth or improving mindset begin by asking for feedback from colleagues. Start with small doses and gradually increase the amount and frequency of the feedback you are willing to hear. You will learn that the information you gain is beneficial, and your willingness to ask will elevate you in the eyes of others.Also it would contribute much to the improving you. There is no hard and fast rule one can improve if one wills be it male or female.Attitude is al that matters.
