#34 Carla Mumar 🇵🇭 - Developing a growth, grit and hacker mindset among the youth with SCALE Solutions

🇵🇭 Carla Mumar is serving underserved students in the Philippines to help them develop a growth mindset and their « grit » so they can find a purpose and unleash their potential. ✅ Carla always believed that she could have a fulfilling life without ticking all the boxes and wanted to prove she could be successful without a university degree. 🤩 She started her career as a call centre agent and then created her own curriculum to self-learn all the skills she needed to climb the corporate ladder and stand out in the job market. 💪 While she faced countless rejections, her hacker mindset and grit - passion and perseverance in service of a long-term goal - eventually led her to become a trainer and then founder of SCALE Solutions, to bring everything she has learned back to the community. 🎯 She shared how her life is an ongoing test and trial, where every job and experience was an opportunity to refine her purpose: to equip the marginalized youth with the skills they need to succeed and achieve their dreams. We discuss the unexpected start of SCALE Solutions, her mental health and wellbeing routine and explore her hacker mindset. ❤️ TIMELINE: 8’ - Growing up outside of the box and society’s expectations 33’ - Disrupting her own education and hacking the system 51’ - How to develop a growth mindset 60’ - Fulfilling her purpose to serve underserved students with SCALE Solutions 100’ - Documenting her personal journey through a podcast 🗒️ REFERENCES: About SCALE Solutions .
