Episode Synopsis

Motivating young people feels like a struggle! But does it have to be? Dr. David Yeager is the author of the powerful book 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People. He shares groundbreaking research which shows we may be misunderstanding young people in fundamental ways, which is contributing to their perceived lack of motivation. If we re-examine our beliefs about young people, and meet their underlying needs of respect, status, and feeling valued, motivation may come quicker than we think. He also provides a helpful reset on what growth mindset is and is NOT, so the objective is centered on meaningful growth.
