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

[@bjornlekselius1660]

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.

[@elsamcgehee8090]

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!

[@mattdenure5527]

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.

[@mattyprz]

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

[@BillYeagersTransformations]

Trevor, this is awesome man, I'm going to use this on the way I work with my team! Thanks man!

[@bubsmapp2010]

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

[@basemkhourma5163]

Thank you very much for this video and the GRATE knowledge in it.

[@rolandovalles9880]

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

[@adamhaniver4531]

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

[@panogobnean]

Thanks for this indepths account. You did an fantastic job indeed. Love it.

[@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.

[@isabellestephant6741]

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!

[@purusothamchippala4231]

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

[@kingdenny6334]

Incredible work.

[@ricardoarayafernandez9820]

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.

[@TrevorRagan]

[@AbdulMajid-nv3ml]

[@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!

[@TrevorRagan]

thanks, Joe - I appreciate that big time!

[@rahulkrishna9654]

Thanks a lot

[@barbralevinepakravan1274]

Wonderful.♥️🙏🏽🧠🌹💯♥️

[@yellowforyelling2050]

Wow, yet another fantastic video Trevor 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I would love to have you back a second time on my podcast. P.S great news on your cancer update 👊🏼

[@TrevorRagan]

Glad you liked it. I would be happy to come back on!

[@omarra6781]

As I listen to this, I wonder if the Pygmalion Effect can be used, so to speak, indirectly - e.g. by identifying with a parent, especially a same sex parent. For example, if a mother constantly talks about how bad at math or uncreative they are, will it trickle down to a young daughter. The same idea could be used for fathers. If a father always talks about being bad at something, would it fall under Pygmalion Effect if his son takes up the same mantra? Or does that fall under some other psychological topic? I'm talking about young, impressionable kids who are still in their truly formative years.

[@joaquinlion]

It’s a nice and supported idea.. but how about when you don’t get reciprocity from the people you help up? Most people just take and don’t give back and you end drained and tired of giving… Or maybe how can you find those who would reciprocate back..?

[@theexotic2983]

Perhaps you fill your emotional cup with other societal bonds especially when we realize some people don't give back not because they don't want to but because they don't know how...E.g Dismissive Avoidantt...Watch the Personal Development School KZbin Channel where Thais Gibson expounds more on DAs.

[@kgbov]

I wonder how this would work with kids with legitimate learning disabilities.

[@TrevorRagan]

Rosenthal and I discussed this during the interview. I think this is why it's important to focus the label on "learner" that doesn't say we can all master anything or that it's going to happen overnight. It's just saying we can all grow (probably more than we realize)
