"Nobody’s Done. Nobody’s defined what their limits are. ...Whatever you think your limits are, you’re wrong!"

[jajajaja]

I like this concept of labelling people as learners, because not only it helps to treat people more equally, but also takes lots of weight off any mistakes. It's definitely something valuable that I've learned today

[bjornlekselius]

Some messages can't be said often enough. As a principal and teacher I feel the urge to repeat these truths over and over with both students and colleagues and am thankful to get it presented in this appetizing way.

[elsamcgehee]

As a new teacher, I really needed to watch this video! Thank you. Using the word "learner" to describe our students as opposed to good at math/ not good at math is brilliant.

[benjaminkeep]

This is one of your best videos. Linking the work on the pygmalion effect and brain plasticity without relying on a bland "believe in yourself!" message is perfect. The fantastic animations don't hurt either.

[tjltraining]

Absolutely a great video. Everyone who is a teacher/ coach needs to understand this!

[mattdenure]

Outstanding content, the visuals and interviews with the world-class researchers were tremendous. I found this project inspiring and will recommend this to really everyone but especially to those who work with students and athletes.

I’m at 8:15 and I’m now thinking about your own self talk and what you think about yourself. How that makes a huge impact

[adamhaniver]

Understanding this will really help you uncover any unconscious bias towards your delivery. Class as usual from Trev!

[joecommented]

Absolutely outstanding video, Trevor! I appreciate the time and effort you and the Learner Lab put into these videos. A fantastic message that everyone should know!

[ricardoarayafernandez]

Thanks Trevor, great stuff as usual. And also I have to mention the graphics are fantastic, it makes it much easier to watch and enjoy!
Looking forward for the next video.

[mattyprz]

oh my goodness! thank you so much for sharing all these gems!

[Manullus]

Unbelievably high quality video. Thank you Trevor! In the name of science and evidence-based personal development, thank you!

I learned about the pygmalion effect during my studies, this video perfectly outlines why it matters so much.

[isabellestephant]

Absolutely great video, fantastic content. The message should be repeated again and again and not just at schools and sports. I work in a large international organization and can see applications in talent management: what if we ALL had potential, rather than some staff members being put in the "reached their limits" box? I'm sharing the video with the HR folks, they must see it!

[rolandovalles]

Tremendous message on this video!!!! Outstanding visuals that helped break down the information. Thanks Trevor!!!

[purusothamchippala]

very useful and prooven concept of positive labels to the kids and students to become the master

[panogobnean]
