Legal Move Top Litigator From Pittsburgh Joins Our Buffalo Office
While there are no treadmills for the mind or ellipticals for our nerves, science tells us that mental exercise can help us obtain a growth mindset . The American Psychological Association defines a growth mindset as “the belief that a person’s intelligence and abilities can grow and improve with practice.” A growth mindset is the antithesis of a “fixed mindset,” which people exhibit when they quickly give up if they can’t solve a problem. Nurturing a growth mindset, in contrast, can help you view failure or setbacks as opportunities for learning. MORE THAN EFFORT Having a growth mindset is about more than just effort. It is the belief that you can develop your abilities and talents, as well as a perspective on how you approach life’s lessons and learning. That belief allows you to learn more quickly and achieve greater results, no matter what you aim to achieve. This does not mean simply having an open mind; it also means finding a way to continue striving to improve your knowledge, attitude, and performance. Some call it having “grit.” Psychology of Success HARNESSING THE POWER OF A GROWTH MINDSET
At Cellino Law, we are always looking for fresh talent to provide the best service possible for our clients. The litigators working to secure our clients the best legal outcomes possible all have unique stories worth sharing. Katie Monbaron, an experienced personal injury attorney, is a new and invaluable addition to our Buffalo office. DECADE OF EXPERIENCE Katie, a Connecticut native, studied history and political science at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. She had a particular interest in the World Wars and Russian history, as well as how post- communist nations had evolved since the fall of the USSR. She spent a month studying abroad, including stints in Kyiv, Ukraine, and Prague, Czech Republic. During college, she decided to utilize her degree by seeking a law career. She attended law school at the University of Pittsburgh and worked at a personal injury firm for most of her time there. After graduating, she practiced personal injury law in Pittsburgh for seven years and has spent a decade working in the field. Naturally, she is also a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan, but we won’t hold that against her here at our Buffalo office. GAELIC GAMES Katie is not just a fan of sports; she also plays ball herself. She is heavily involved in Gaelic, or Irish, sports. She plays Gaelic football, a team sport where 15 players from each team square off, using their feet and fists to get their ball into their opponents’ goal. She also plays Camogie, another Gaelic sport with rules similar to those of men’s hurling. When she isn’t competing in Gaelic football or Camogie, she enjoys playing pickleball. HER HEART IS IN BUFFALO Katie’s boyfriend wanted to move back home to Buffalo, and she happily moved with him. Fortunately for us, we have acquired a skilled litigator who will further improve our service to our valued clients. Buffalo, a blue-collar city that adores sports, reminds Katie of Pittsburgh; she has grown to love it.
CULTIVATING SUCCESS With a growth mindset, success plays second fiddle to self-
improvement. Celebrating the effort we put into each task motivates and encourages us to work harder and accomplish more in the future. Rather than focusing on the destination, the focus is on the journey. A growth mindset is a great way to become more positive, successful, and adaptable. By incorporating more facets of a growth mindset into your life, you will be well on your way to changing things for the better.
