Our mission is to flip the funnel from the traditional mindset to a growth mindset centered around lifestyle-first, skills and talents next, and align those with a career . We believe Lifestyle sets the *direction* someone wants to go. Life is a *journey*, not a one-stop destination. We prepare every student to be Future Ready.  [Download The Find Your Grind Ethos PDF](https://resources.findyourgrind.com/hubfs/Find%20Your%20Grind%20Ethos_%20The%20Funnel.pdf?hsLang=en) ![funnel](https://resources.findyourgrind.com/hs-fs/hubfs/funnel4.png?width=401&height=500&name=funnel4.png "funnel") ![lifestyles-1](https://resources.findyourgrind.com/hubfs/lifestyles-1.png "lifestyles-1") ### Which Lifestyle are you? With our lifestyle-first approach, it’s not about *what you want to do* when you leave school but *who you want to be*. This activity is the very first step students will take toward that lifestyle-first mindset—a journey of self-discovery, career exploration, and critical 21st-century skills that build throughout the Find Your Grind experience.

Progressive learning cycles can help us understand how individuals gain expertise in a certain skill or asset, but how does all this connect to the lofty goal of preparing Gen Z for the future of work? By connecting progressive cycles of learning with Social Cognitive Career Theory, a model of career exploration emerges that can move and grow with the rapidly changing world of Gen Z.
