Welcome everyone! Introduce today’s lesson: reflecting on personal goals, adopting a growth mindset, and crafting a concise elevator pitch. Emphasize real-world relevance—college interviews, job fairs, networking events.

Distribute or display Growth Mindset Quote Cards. Ask students to read silently, jot down what each quote means to them, then discuss with a partner. Use this to segue into how mindset impacts goal-setting.

Distribute the [Personal Goal Reflection Worksheet](#personal-goal-reflection-worksheet). Guide students through each prompt. Circulate to support deeper thinking and keep them on task.

Introduce the [Elevator Pitch Template](#elevator-pitch-template). Explain each section: start with an engaging hook, state your goal clearly, and end with a concise action plan.

Model a sample pitch on the board. Highlight how the speaker uses growth-mindset language and clear objectives. Invite students to note effective techniques as they craft their own.

Explain pairing and feedback norms: one positive comment and one constructive suggestion. Encourage concise feedback to fit time limits. Wrap up by inviting volunteers if time allows.
