The power of yet | Carol S Dweck | TEDxNorrköping

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The live talks at this TEDxNorrkölping event have "plasticity" in common. Capabilities for problem solving and for learning (or progress) have often been regarded as (inherited) components of the personality. Both Carol s Dweck and Torkel Klingberg have made quite clear, that improvements of such capabilities are supported by systematic use of appropriate training and feedback. Very essential knowledge for any parent, teacher, leader and human being in general.

Carol S. Dweck is a leading researcher in the field of motivation and is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford. Her research focuses on why students succeed and how to foster their success. More specifically, her work has demonstrated the role of mindsets in success and has shown how praise for intelligence can undermine students’ motivation and learning.
She has also held professorships at and Columbia and Harvard Universities, has lectured to education, business, and sports groups all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. She recently won the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association, one of the highest awards in Psychology, as well as six other lifetime achievement awards. Last Spring, the White House held an conference on her work and both President Obama and Michelle Obama refer to her work in their speeches on education.
Her work has been prominently featured in such publications as The New Yorker, Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, and The London Times, and the Manchester Guardian, with recent feature stories on her work in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington Post, and she has appeared on such shows as Today, Good Morning America, NPR’s Morning Edition, and 20/20. Her bestselling book Mindset (published by Random House) has been widely acclaimed and has been translated into over 20 languages.

all those people talking about the speed she's speaking: she's speaking at an event in Sweden, and tailoring her speed to an audience that's speaking English as a second, third or fourth language. As an American who's lived abroad for 20 years, I'm constantly shocked at how bad English speakers are at adapting their speaking pace to their audience. Kudos to her for giving her audience every opportunity to get the point...

[ridpathos]

I read her book about 5-6 years ago, and it really changed my life. You may think she sounds creepy or hate her powerpoint or whatever, but her book has changed my life and multitudes of my students' lives. Her principles are now taught in nearly every classroom across every grade all over the US and the world. She's a pretty amazing person, and I can't recommend her book more highly.

As a learner who still need to improve my own English skills, she gets my respect for her slower speech. And the message is on point. It also benefits to all of us not only teachers or parents. Thank you!

[TEDxNorrkoping]

I was shocked when I learned about this after having been teacher and parent for over 40 years. Very basic solid knowledge I should have got from the very beginning!

Carol S. Dweck is the Lewis and Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and her work is transforming for teachers, parents, children, and our communities. I deeply appreciate her work and that she presents it so beautifully. Upon reading her work, you will discover that she is extremely well written, intelligent, and wise and models humility.

If you don't appreciate her talking speed, just use the youtube settings to change the speed to your liking. No need to complain.

I really don't care about the pace, I care about the point. And point taken. This is absolutely amazing video which I would strongly recommend to watch

[szttevm]

[zeynepolgun]

As a mom, I have already started using this expression consciously with my daughter. Such a miraculous powerful phrase to know and use! Thanks, dear Dweck for this amazing reminder

[botsynth]

It is absolutely brilliant. It is like theory of everything for general relativity and quantum mechanics in phycology, philosophy and cognitive behavioral therapy. It is like a stone on which everything else is built. Absolutely underrated.

[tlp]

Thanks Dr Carol Dweck for such great reminder!

This video changed my morning....and feel like it's def going to change my life, too....she sound really confirmed and it has that pecial power!

[TheJiei]

I really love the word "Yet" :)
It is so important for us, the adults,
to let the children know that they always can explore more if they don't know something "yet".
Although, it is very crucial to raise children's self value,
we have to admit that there are too many places still using numbers or letters
as if it proves how much they worth...
& unfortunately, many children lost their confidence in themselves before they try :/
We all should make difference, not just school, but at home too.
We gotta remember the statistics doesn't conclude anyone's personality or their potentials!

[Aquarithyst]

Watching this was psychology homework (at least the last four minutes of it).

Hi other psychology students who are watching this along with me. :)

[mikequitugua]

Whenever someone asked me to do something I couldn't do I always tell them "not yet". I'm glad Dr. Dweck confirmed it was a good habit.

[Zkauba]

I decided to Following the odin project and they recommend this talk, is very inspirational.

[dekhnazara]

Insightful video and it’s so clearly understandable. I remember when one of my relatives got his first ‘B’ had a very hard time dealing with it.

[Autotelique_moi]

So amazingly interesting! Thanks professor Dweck!!
