How to achieve BIG change with small acts? According to the Stanford psychologist Gregory Walton, this requires what, in his new book, he dubs Ordinary Magic. Small psychological interventions , Walton argues, can create significant positive changes. He explains that people often face "agency-depriving questions" that undermine their confidence and sense of belonging. His research shows how addressing these concerns through simple but powerful psychological reframes and supportive interactions can help individuals overcome obstacles. Walton distinguishes his evidence-based approach from typical self-help books and "nudge" tactics, emphasizing that while these interventions may appear simple, they require careful design based on deep understanding of human psychology.Here are the five KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways from our conversation with Walton:* "Ordinary magic" refers to everyday experiences that help people overcome limiting self-doubts, creating potential for extraordinary positive change.* People often face psychological barriers in the form of questions like "Can I do it?" "Do I belong?" and "Does this matter?" which can become self-fulfilling prophecies.* Unlike behavorial economics style "nudge" approaches that treat people like objects to be manipulated, Walton's interventions aim to help people understand and reframe how they make sense of challenging situations.* Simple psychological reframes (like telling a tired child "when you're tired and keep going, your muscles get stronger") can have profound effects on persistence and achievement.* Creating environments where people feel they belong and are valued can dramatically improve outcomes - as demonstrated by interventions that reduced juvenile recidivism from 69% to 29% by connecting students with supportive teachers.* Greg Walton, PhD, is the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab and a professor of psychology at Stanford University. Dr. Walton's research is supported by many foundations, including Character Lab, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. He has been covered in major media outlets including The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and Los Angeles Times.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Learn How You Can Develop ‘Grit' and Why You Need It to Achieve Your Goals! Scarlett's guest for this episode is Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Angela describes grit as having what some researchers call an”ultimate concern”– a goal you care about so much that it gives meaning to almost everything you do. Grit is holding steadfast to that goal even when you fall down and when progress toward that goal is halting or slow. Scarlett and Angela discuss growing hope because a growth mindset leads to optimistic self-talk that then leads to perseverance over adversity. Scarlett and Angela infuse the Choose Love Formula into the extensive research Angela has dedicated herself to on grit and personal success. This includes having the courage to find what you enjoy, thinking of something you are grateful for to stay positive and strengthen what you want to master, finding a deeper purpose greater than yourself, and having compassion in action which is doing something, not just feeling it. Hope is when we let our pain go and that is strengthened by practicing forgiveness. All of the Choose Love formula values (courage+gratitude+forgiveness+compassion-in-action) lead to the grittiness required to achieve your goals. Angela Duckworth is an academic and psychologist focusing on achievement, researcher and author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. She is co-founder of Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive. She is also the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative. Her podcast, No Stupid Questions, is part of the Freakonomics Radio family.

Mike reports from the midst of a big week of Education and Innovation conference he's attending in New York. In addition to showcasing his favorite sessions from Fast Company Innovation Festival and EdTech Week, we continue our storied tradition of breaking down the recently released Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2022 while making connections to the world of learning and the future of work along the way. Gartner highlights 25 emerging technologies grouped into three categories: Evolving and Expanding Immersive Experiences, Accelerating AI Automation, and Optimized Technologist Delivery. We quickly rattle them off before showcasing two sessions Mike attended this week: Wayne Brady's session on Improv from the FC Innovation Fest and Angela Duckworth and Esther Wojcicki's conversation from EdTech Week. There's plenty to chew on as we return to the conference scene and try to get out ahead of trends in search of the new hotness while steering clear of the hype. You can find out more about what Wayne's doing here. Angela's Character Lab is here. And Susan's Tract App is here. Thanks as always for listening.

Many people think schools are no place for teaching character. Psychologist Angela Duckworth of the University of Pennsylvania and founder of Character Lab, disagrees. She talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the implicit curriculum for character, the critical role early education plays in shaping our adult values, and why the Marshmallow Test doesn't determine our destiny.
This week we bring you a conversation with Dr. Angela Duckworth, pioneering professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and the CEO of Character Lab, a nonprofit that advances science to help children thrive. She was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2013, and in 2016 published Grit, a book that explores what elements lead to success. She makes the case that achievement is not dependent on genius, but instead, on The Power of Passion and Perseverance: grit. Dr. Duckworth believes that grit is part of what allows humans to flourish.

This week's conversation is with Angela Duckworth, the founder and CEO of Character Lab, a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive. She is also the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative, and faculty co-director of Wharton People Analytics.A 2013 MacArthur Fellow, Angela has advised the World Bank, NBA and NFL teams, and Fortune 500 CEOs.Angela completed her undergraduate degree in Advanced Studies Neurobiology at Harvard, graduating magna cum laude. With the support of a Marshall Scholarship, she completed an MSc with Distinction in Neuroscience from Oxford University. She completed her PhD in Psychology as a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.We all know Angela from her book, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,” the #1 New York Times best seller, which was the impetus for our first Finding Mastery conversation back in 2016… that's Episode 029 if you're looking for it.I wanted to have Angela back on to discuss her new research on character, and how character development can be actioned to benefit others (and oneself). As Angela says, the term “character” is used far too vaguely most of the time. She shares the 3 dimensions of character – and – ways to train them.She is incredibly grounded in the scientific evidence on how character strengths like self-control, curiosity, and gratitude are critically important to social and emotional well-being, physical health, and achievement.Angela is amazing. Her work is a gift to us all. This conversation, and our friendship for that matter, is a breath of fresh air - life-giving and life-lifting.----Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

A Character Lab tip about honesty, and how stress makes it hard to practice [https://characterlab.org/tips-of-the-week/honest-people/], got us obsessing about times when we've been honest, or tried to teach our kids honesty, with mixed results.
An article about uncertain incentives led us to talk about whether our kids are motivated by praise that's intermittent or constant. Say it with us: Parenting is hard! Motivating kids is hard!!

Remember your college days dreaming big dreams, anxious about your grades, fearful about your future until one day, you find yourself in a different place, at a different stage of life doing very different things than you could ever imagine as a student? “Where Are They Now?” Is a special co-production between One in a Billion and WHRB (Harvard Radio Broadcasting). It is a 6-part series featuring one-on-one interviews with Harvard graduates who draw lessons from their campus experience and personal insight from their current career to give you a taste of their trailblazing journey. In episode #1 - We interview Dr. Angela Duckworth - Harvard Class of 1992, Founder/CEO of the nonprofit Character Lab, author of the New York Times Bestseller “Grit,” and the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Duckworth talks about goal-setting, risk-taking, and a "rebellious" detour from her father's expectations. I am happy to be co-hosting this Special Series with Harvard student journalist Gemma Schneider (Class '23). “Where Are They Now” is sponsored exclusively by One in a Billion Productions Inc. (501c3) - an educational media company designed to foster Asian voices. We believe in the power of personal storytelling to reach a wider and diverse community of audiences for better intercultural understanding.
Dr. Angela Duckworth, Harvard Class of 1992, is the Founder and CEO of the nonprofit Character Lab, the author of the New York Times Bestseller “Grit,” and the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Contributing commentator and co-host Mable Chan also joins the conversation a bit later in the episode. Together, they unpack which goals and expectations are, and are not, reasonable for students to impose upon themselves during their college years. They also get candid – talking about how difficult it has become for today's students to engage with uncertainty, take risks, and pursue non-linear career paths; and about what the consequences of this might be.Tune in for all of this, and more, in our first-ever episode of “Where Are They Now?

Do you hear negative, nagging, bullying voices in your head? Are they telling you you're a bad leader or fundraiser? That you'll never raise what you need to grow your organization? In this week's episode, I talk to Dr. Ethan Kross, psychologist, neuroscientist, professor, and the author of Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters and How to Harness It. There is so much chatter that inhibits action, like negative thoughts and limiting beliefs about perfectionism, scarcity or what someone will think if we ‘ask them for money'. Tune in as Dr. Kross explains a few of the tools from his book to help reduce toxic mental chatter and how we can apply them as leaders and fundraisers in the nonprofit world to move more money into our organization and the sector as a whole. Episode highlights: (02:28) - Dr. Ethan Kross and all the work that went into his amazing book: Chatter (04:27)- Why turning your attention inward can help us solve problems or make us miserable. (06:32) - What does “chatter” refer to? The amazing things our inner voice allows us to do and the negative dark side of it. (10:39) - One of Chatter's tools: Distance self-talk, using your name and the second person pronoun to coach yourself through a problem. (16:44) - Why single quick fixes don't exist!: How to mix and match different tools to find healing. (24:03) - Cultivating the witness: Distancing yourself and the ability to step back to approach the problem with more objectivity. (27:40) - Stop zooming into negativity: How the nonprofit fundraising space can benefit from changing the narrative. (33:04) - How to find resources hidden in plain sight for your unique chatter triggers. (40:34) - Minimize the toxic effects of chatter: Why negative emotions aren't something we want to avoid completely. (47:49) - Shout out to Dr. Kross's favorite nonprofit: Angela Duckworth's The Character Lab.

On today's episode, we sit down with Angela Duckworth, the founder and CEO of Character Lab, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, a #1 New York Times best seller. Angela has an amazing story, and one we can all relate to as we pursue our own individual versions of success. Angela left a stressful job in management consulting at just 27 years old to pursue teaching and eventually enroll in graduate school to become a psychologist. This conversation is centered around grit – a characteristic of successful people that Angela has dedicated years of research to in an effort to better understand what truly drives successful people to be great. A few of the topics we covered include how to delay gratification & control your impulses, how gritty people handle failure, the “I'll show you” effect, and where perseverance truly comes from. This was hands down one of our favorite episodes to date, and we think you'll all find Angela's insights to be easy to digest and applicable no matter what your lifestyle looks like. We hope you all enjoy this conversation with Angela Duckworth. Let's go!
SYLLABUST Episode 2:0: Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance We're celebrating Women's History Month! In honor of the annual March observance, this episode of SYLLABUST focuses on one of the few well-known business books authored by a woman. Dr. Angela Duckworth's 2016 title, GRIT, rocketed to number one on the New York Times Best Sellers list. Its research and conclusions about grit as an essential factor in success--resonate (and for some, rile!) to this day. What is grit? Who are "paragons of grit?" Why does grit matter? How can it be measured? How can it be grown in families, in cultures, and in organizations? Dr. Duckworth is the daughter of Chinese immigrants and mother to two daughters of her own. She is a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, a MacArthur fellow, and the founder and CEO of Character Lab--a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the science and practice of character development.

Today we continue our Destination Growth Series by discussing “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by author Angela Duckworth. Angela Duckworth is a professor of Psychology at UPENN and also the founder and CEO of Character Lab. Much of her professional focus is on using scientific insights to help children thrive. However, in her best-selling book Grit, the insights go far beyond only helping children become grittier. It really is written for anyone to not only understand the importance of grit, but also to learn how to become grittier at any age.So, what is the definition of Grit, as defined by Dr. Duckworth? Grit is defined as “the tendency to sustain interest in and effort toward very long-term goals"The book is broken up into three parts:Part One is What Grit is and Why it MattersPart Two is Growing Grit from the Inside OutPart Three is Growing Grit from the Outside InFor our purposes today, we apply this book in three areas: For ourselves, as parents and for our marriage.For OurselvesJackie’s takeawayShowing up and putting in the work can close the gap between those that have a natural ability vs. the determined individualPurpose drives my motivation in everything I do.How I view my efforts matter - Brick layer parable – laying bricks, building a church, building the house of God – job, career or callingTommy’s takeawayTalent doesn’t make you gritty.Growth mindset – perseverance comes through failure if you believe that failure isn’t a permanent state.Importance of consistent deliberate practice. There can be pleasure in the pain of practice.That purpose and passion can evolve as you become proficient or an expert in something that you maybe didn’t start out thinking it was going to be your purpose.Grit and personality can be developed and aren’t fixed even as adults. That the brain has plasticity and can grow and changeFor ParentingJackie’s takeawayHow do we teach Grit as parents?Supporting vs. Demanding approachCreating the right environment for your children to flourishTough love vs. nurturingDo you offer an example of Grit to your children – Will they want to emulate you?Tommy’s takeawayFollow through for at least a year on whatever activity/club/sport/hobby is crucial to build grit in childrenAuthoritative vs. Authoritarian – easily confused. Authoritative is putting hard demands on children but also being supportive and caring equally. How important it is to have outside help to foster grit. Whether it be from us as parents or with coaches, teachers, or other authority figures – we can’t do it alone. For our Marriage Jackie’s & Tommy’s takeawayReally encouraging that our brains can literally rewire themselves. Our marriage can continue to grow and mature through deliberate “practice” with loving each otherThat marriage takes real grit to be successfulEnjoy!
Glacier National Park (0:00:00)In the Rocky Mountains of Montana lies a national park incomparable in beauty and adventure. Glacier National Park gets its name from peaks literally carved by glaciers. The park goes all the way to the Canadian border and is home to miles of hiking trails. To tell us more about this beautiful National Park and why you should consider making a trip there is Gina Kerzman, one of the park's employees. Self-Control (0:16:44)On The Lisa Show we talk a lot about having a good lifestyle. We've had many conversations about spending less time on our phones and planning healthy meals among other things we can do to improve our well-being. While all of these things will help us, the only way we'll see changes in our life is if we have self-control. To help us figure out how to have more self-discipline in all areas of our life, we invited Dr. Angela Duckworth onto theshow. She's a professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a co-founder of Character Lab, a website dedicated to using science to build character. Finances in Marriage (0:37:35)One of the top stressors that contributes to divorce today is finances. Dealing with debt and other financial difficulties puts a strain on marriages and leads to a lot of blaming rather than problem-solving. With this looming fact in the air, we wanted get some expert advice on what couples can do better when handling money so they can eliminate stress and keep their marriages together. Our next guest, Rachel Cruze, is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and host of The Rachel Cruze Show where she helps people learn the proper ways to handle money and stay out of debt. She joins us today to talk about how we can improve our finances for the sake of our marriages. Cybersecurity (0:52:50)With our kids enrolling in Zoom University, online safety has become more important than ever. Cybersecurity is on all of our minds. So, what can we do to ensure our own internet safety? Here to give us some advice is tech consultant Anna Murray. Mini Book Club (1:10:16)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about books that are banned from schools and the ones you should consider reading. Authentic Tacos (1:21:22)When you hear the word “magic,” what comes to mind? Fairy dust, unicorns, diet coke? For me, I think of tacos. Now I'm not talking about your fast food, 99 cent tacos; rather, your spicy, authentic tacos that you wash down with a crisp coca-cola. Today we have Raul Ortega, the owner of Mariscos Jalisco, L.A.'s repeatedly top-rated taco shop, here to tell us what makes a taco authentic and how to find the best taco shop wherever you live. Seeking Closure (1:30:44)We often refer to different periods in our lives as chapters. Eras that open and close, replete with different characters—all with their own individual story arcs. But as we all know, all good (and bad) things must come to an end. Sometimes, however, things don't end the way we want them to. We're left unsatisfied with the way the event transpired and with how it ended. So, we seek closure. What makes us seek closure? Is it just part of our DNA? Dr. Iskra Fileva, assistant professor of philosophy at the University Colorado, Boulder, is here to discuss closure, why we as humans crave it, and how to obtain it.

The Borgen Project (0:00:00) Fighting global poverty can seem like quite the daunting task. With 736 million people living in extreme poverty and about 2.5 billion that lack access to improved sanitation, we have a long way to go before we solve this issue. But fighting world poverty is a much more serious issue than just a simple policy change. That's what the Borgen Project, a nonprofit organization located in Seattle, is doing an incredible part in not only raising money and materials to fight poverty, but also pass legislation that create long term solutions. Today, we're joined today by Kim Thelwell, the Vice President of Policy and Communications for the Borgen Project. She's here to talk about the impact of poverty and what the Borgen Project is doing to stop it. Science on Tik Tok (0:14:09) You've probably heard all sorts of things about the app TikTok. Created in 2016, it features all sorts of videos, from skits and singing to memes and dad jokes. But, just like any other social media platform, your kids might find themselves scrolling through their feed for hours without even realizing it. Sixty percent of TikTok's audience is under 20 years old and still in school. So, Phil Cook, a chemistry teacher of 20 years, decided to create more meaningful content for the app. From explosions to elephant toothpaste, Phil creates science videos that have taken the platform by storm. Self-Control (0:33:13) On The Lisa Show we talk a lot about having a good lifestyle. We've had many conversations about spending less time on our phones and planning healthy meals among other things we can do to improve our well-being. While all of these things will help us, the only way we'll see changes in our life is if we have self-control. To help us figure out how to have more self-discipline in all areas of our life, we invited Dr. Angela Duckworth onto the show. She's a professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a co-founder of Character Lab, a website dedicated to using science to build character. The Future of Movie Theater (0:51:38) There's something about watching a movie in a dark room with strangers that makes a movie a little more enjoyable for me. But with all the movie theaters closed right now and streaming platforms getting more popular every day, I'm a little worried about the movie theaters ever reopening. So, we've invited film producer and former studio executive Glenn Williamson to tell us what he sees in the future for movie theaters. Furnishing Homes (1:06:52) We're always looking for opportunities to serve here on The Lisa Show, and this week we wanted to highlight an opportunity to serve people coming out of homelessness. Treger Strasberg is the founder of Humble Design –an organization that collects donated furniture to furnish the homes of those coming out of homelessness. She and her husband also happen to be on BYUTV's show Welcome Home. The Single Parent Project (1:25:00) As many of you know and experience every day, being a parent is hard. I don't think any of us has it easy—because all children like to challenge their parents. But some people, in my opinion, are super parents... and they are the single parents. Today, we are talking to the founders of an inspiring organization, the Single Parent Project, Meghann Brimhall and Alissa Harrod, about how we can better understand and support the single parents around us.
The world is currently going through the strangest thing that any of us will likely face in our lives. And there's a ton of fear and anxiety and doom and gloom that comes along with a worldwide pandemic, of course. But in this episode, happiness expert and author Jennifer Moss gives us incredible, tangible advice on how to navigate through this uncertainty with less guilt. But also to accept the many stages of grief that we may be moving through right now, no matter what form the emotion may be taking. It's ok to not be thriving right now, but we don't have to completely sink either. *This episode was adapted from a Facebook LIVE that was recorded on March 26th, 2020 (if you want to see the video, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6uLz2hRdqo) List of Resource Suggestions from this episode: HERO GEN – https://hero-generation.com/covid19/ Global Happiness Council Access here: http://www.happinesscouncil.org/ The Global Happiness Council (GHC) produces the Global Happiness and Well-Being Policy Report with the goal of informing policy around Positive Education initiatives, Happy Cities, Societal Well-being Interventions, and more.

Angela Duckworth is co-founder and CEO of Character Lab, a nonprofit that uses psychological science to help children thrive. She is also the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative, and faculty co-director of Wharton People Analytics.

Sharing new insights from her landmark research, Angela explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success. Angela has found that grit—a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal—is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain. She’s also found scientific evidence that grit can grow. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference.

Without effort talent is just unmet potential and without effort, skill is what you could have done but didn’t. Effort is the multiplier that opens up your talent, potential and skill. There’s a formula in the book that says skill x effort = achievement. The effort is grit and grit is a combination of passion and perseverance. Angela talks about the idea that your overall goal (which is the one thing you are gritty about) is fixed but how you get there is fluid. How you get to your goal can be a bit experimental; trying out different things on how to get there. This means that talent is overrated and over romanticised. We often look up to people who we think have innate talents, however a lot of the time it’s actually talent that has been realised through the application of effort and grit. BIG IDEA 2 (8:22) – Foster interest over passion. A lot of people say ‘follow your passion’ however not everyone knows what they’re passionate about. And just because you love something doesn’t necessarily mean you’re good at it or that you will be the best in that field. What we need to do is to find what interests us and foster that. Interest is also not found through reflection, it is triggered by interaction with the outside world through discovery – and this can be messy. Before hard work comes into play, you need to find first that thing you will enjoy and will keep you interested. This is how grit is maintained, through curiosity and finding the answers to more questions. Passion is not like a firework going off, it’s like a smoldering fire that just keeps burning over time and continues to linger. If you are worried that you don’t feel this burning passion inside you, unlike those you follow on Instagram or business people you read about, all of them didn’t have at first either. they just started by getting interested in something and see how that goes. To be gritty at something you need to find something you’re interested in which may take several attempts. A lot of people who were successful in their fields, whether its research, science, sports or business, have been through this process. BIG IDEA 3 (13:17) – get gritty. Dan Chambliss who studies Olympic swimmers said that the real way to become a great swimmer is to join a great team. You need to find a culture of grit where you only have to conform. Being gritty on your own is very hard. By joining a gritty team you will start to do what everyone else is doing. This requires communication within the team around how do we maintain grit as a team. They found out that grittier people have higher life satisfaction and self-control. Grit requires the ability to be uncomfortable because you have to stick through things that aren’t fun and you may not be making any progress for a period of time. This talks around the idea of being able to resist temptation to relieve yourself of the discomfort. Grit also is about focusing on improving and not just doing things you’re already good at. Deliberate practice is the act of working on things you’re not good at and involves setting a stretch goal, practice, feedback and reflection (and then repeat, over and over and over again…).

Angela Duckworth is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the Founder and CEO of Character Lab, a not-for-profit whose mission is to advance, the science and practice of character development and the author of the New York Times bestselling book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Podcast Highlights Who is Angela Duckworth? Angela grew up in New Jersey with a father that had extremely high standards. Her experience growing up led her to become fascinated by the mechanics of success, character development, and who gets left behind and who gets ahead. She realized that so much of what we do in life is a result of our passion and perseverance. Are entrepreneurs born or made? Entrepreneurs are mostly made, but they do inherit their genes from their parents. There is a lot to be said about what happens after you are dealt those cards from your parents though, in a lot of ways you are made by your experiences and your mentors. Perseverance, Grit, and Character Development Angela’s frustration as a teacher is what led her to studying grit. Being able to see around the corner and watching her students give up too early led her to wanting to understand psychology, which is essentially the study of human nature. It’s never easy to know when you should quit. If your life has a goal it can help you figure out how to approach a problem, if it’s just a means to an end, maybe you can find another means to get to that end. Grit is often unrelated to talent, success in the long run doesn’t seem to correlate to talent as much as to perseverance. The only thing that matters is the mission. To build a culture of grit in your company you have to model passion and perseverance. Don’t be shy, share your passion that is beyond the 9 to 5. You don’t need to show strength all the time, showing vulnerability and how you came back from a setback is a great way to show dedication. Angela’s husband told her that if she didn’t write the book about her character development research someone else would, during the process of writing the book she discovered that people who exhibit grit have somebody in their life that believes in and supports them. Outside Motivation Someone telling you that you can’t do something will often put a fire in your belly, but the question is what happens after success? The people who can continually approach life as if they are an underdog even if they are on top is a signature of people who focus on excellence instead of complacence. Behind almost every high performer, there is someone who encouraged them and helped guide them towards success. Quitting The Right Things If your feelings are getting in the way, seek a trusted advisor to give you an outside objective perspective. If your best friend would tell you to get out something, maybe you should. Nurturing Children Kids are best off when they are challenged and supported. Have a family rule that everyone has to do a hard thing and they aren’t allowed to quit in the middle. Start young and give them a choice in their hard thing and they will learn responsibility. Character Lab Character Lab is about helping parents and teachers use science to help their children and students with character development and grit. It’s all supported by institutions so all the resources are free.

“If a teacher takes a moment to think about what they actually do in their own classroom, there is tonnes of experimentation. You try a lesson plan one way and you realise at the end of that class that it's really not going as well as you would have liked and then maybe your new class files in and you tweak it a little bit,” says Angela Duckworth, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Duckworth, best known for her work on the science of ‘grit' – the combination of passion and perseverance for long-term goals that she says sets high achievers apart from the rest of the population – is currently conducting research more broadly into character education through her non-profit organisation Character Lab, with the aim of providing a robust, scientific basis for teaching the ‘soft' skills that are viewed with scepticism by some. To do this, she explains in this week's episode of Tes Podagogy, she is relying on classroom teachers conducting experiments with their classes. This is a task that they are more than equipped for, she believes. “I know that in the UK there is a really robust and reasonably recent, but really robust and admirable tradition of doing research in schools,” Duckworth says. “So, the idea of experimentation isn't really new [for teachers]...I think that idea of really closing the loop and doing it systematically with measures and statistics is of course new.” The Character Lab Research Network conducted its first large-scale experiment in January, with 14,000 high school students, who participated in a variety of different activities designed to increase positive character traits. “It was a coin-flip which activity they would get. This enables us to see if any of the activities were helpful, which of the activities were more helpful than others,” Duckworth says. 'Innovation and experimentation' The random nature of the experiment was the best way to ensure fair results, but it also required the teachers taking part to take a leap of faith and accept the uncertainty of the scientific method, she adds. “Generally, teachers like to try to give the best thing to their students and just give it to all of them. When I was a classroom teacher I never did anything with half my kids that I didn't do with the other half of the kids and so that is a bit of a paradigm shift for some teachers.” So, what has Character Lab uncovered about character education so far? In the podcast, Duckworth shares her findings and explains why she is hopeful for taking this research further, working in collaboration with teachers and helping them to become "psychologically wise". “Innovation and experimentation is what every teacher has to do. We're just hoping to do it in a more cumulative way. “So many things that teachers figure out work for them, they never really get to tell other teachers what it is that they did and why it might have worked, because teachers tend to not have that medium. But scientists, that's kind of what they do: they have hypothesis, they test it, and whether it works or not, hopefully you write it up and you tell the world so that the insight can be shared,” says Duckworth.

Psychologist Angela Duckworth's research on grit is challenging the widely held assumption that talent is the most important determinant of success. Angela defines grit as "perseverance and passion for long-term goals," and has found that it's closely related to achievement in a wide range of fields. Angela summarized what her research has revealed in her book entitled Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Angela is forthcoming in her book—and in our discussion—about how her personal experiences have informed her understanding of grit. In this episode we discuss how hard work is only half of the grit equation, and that finding one's passion is just as important. We also explore how to go about finding your passion, which can be the most challenging part of building grit.

Our need for symptom relief and safety sometime overrides our ability to connect to solutions or treatment. Maybe it isn’t necessarily about grit but resilience. For us, our symptoms is that irritation that there is a problem. Symptoms will keep bugging us until we do something. Grit can be used as a weapon. We might have a stronger one. Resilience.

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
What do successful leaders have in common? It often comes down to two key traits: passion and perseverance. In other words, they have grit. In this episode, Angela Duckworth, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, shares insights from her New York Times best-selling book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. She's also the founder of Character Lab, a nonprofit that works to advance the science of character development.
The creator of The Simpsons, Matt Groening, once described Homer Simpson as “a loving father but he's ruled by his impulses”. Homer often comes across more of a juvenile adult than a parent; never quite equipped to handle Bart's bratty behaviors or Lisa's intellectual curiosity. In spite of being endowed, the virtuous, talented, and sensitive middle child Lisa is often ignored in the Simpsons household. As it is, parenting is hard but it's even harder to tailor it to an individual child's needs. Today, my guest, Dr. Stephanie Carlson, in her second interview will expatiate on how certain type of parenting can be instrumental in raising autonomous children who learn to temper their behaviors and emotions into resiliency.About Stephanie Carlson, Ph.D.Stephanie is currently a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Director of Research at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota, and Co-founder and CEO of Reflection Sciences, Inc.

When, “What to Expect When You're Expecting” hit the bookstores in 1984, authors Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel had no idea that their book would become a bible for expectant parents and it would top the Best Seller's list for years to come. Even though the parents' search to figure out the mysteries of parenting does not dwindle once the baby is born; it surely gets complicated and there is no single book that guides parent to raise self-disciplined children. Today, my guest Dr. Stephanie Carlson, will demystify Executive Function and children's capacities to successfully self-regulate their thoughts, feelings, and actions to function autonomously and independently by pausing for reflection.About Stephanie Carlson, Ph.D.Stephanie is currently a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Director of Research at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota, and Co-founder and CEO of Reflection Sciences, Inc.

While getting students interested in math can be a challenge for teachers, TenMarks has found a fun – and timely – way to get kids buzzing about numbers. Drawing on students' interest in sports and the excitement of the annual March Madness basketball tournament, the Math Madness contest is a great way to get kids genuinely excited about math! Through a little friendly competition, students have fun, win prizes and gain mastery in math. However, it's not just about the cool prizes. Participating in Math Madness will spur student motivation and engagement like never before, resulting in significantly improved math confidence. Best of all, there's no reason to worry about students struggling while competing on their own during Math Madness. TenMarks assignments provide individualized practice through a variety of tools such as hints and videos, all of which are designed to help students persevere and ultimately master challenging math problems. The Math Madness contest, now in its fifth year, has helped thousands of students strengthen their math skills. In 2015, students answered millions of questions with over 84 percent accuracy! Math Madness has amazing prizes such as Amazon Gift Cards and Amazon Fire Tablets that'll help motivate students in the beginning. However, a week into the madness and you'll see an enthusiasm for math you never saw coming! About TenMarks and “With Math I Can”Developed under the leadership of Amazon Education and TenMarks, “With Math I Can” challenges the nation's more than three million teachers and their students to take the pledge to replace the notion of “I'm not good at math” with “I am working to get better at math” by embracing a “growth mindset,” the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed, which leads to an increased focus on the process of learning rather than the outcome. Supporters of the “With Math I Can” movement include Stanford University Professor of Mathematics Education Jo Boaler, Character Lab, Common Sense Education, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), Stanford University's Project for Education Research that Scales (PERTS), ClassDoJo, ASCD, and Teaching Channel. Teachers and students can learn more, watch a video, access resources, and take the pledge at http://www.withmathican.org/ (www.withmathican.org).

You don't have have to look very hard to find some advice on how to be successful. If you ask 10 friends about it, you'll probably get 10 different "surefire" paths to the top. But the truth is that where the advice comes from is just as (if not more) important than the advice itself. That's why I get so fired up to find guests who have achieved success themselves, or even better, have turned to science to better understand what we can do to give ourselves the best shot at being successful. In that respect, there's no one better to talk to about the scientifically proven formulas for success than today's guest, Angela Duckworth. Angela is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, the founder and scientific director of the Character Lab, recipient of the 2013 MacArthur "Genius" Award, and author of the New York Times Best Seller "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance". In this episode, Angela shares her research behind grit and the impact it has on success. We chat about how passion and perseverance, applied over a long period of time, are the keys to achieving mastery in any field. She also explains how we can foster a culture and mindset to assist in our journey to the top. She shares how this approach has worked for legends like Will Smith and Pete Carroll.

Angela Duckworth is an American psychologist. In her late twenties, Angela left a demanding job as a management consultant to teach math to seventh graders in the New York City public schools. Several years in the classroom taught her that effort was tremendously important to success. To begin to solve the mystery of why some people work so much harder and longer than others, Angela entered the PhD program in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, where she is now a professor. She is also a 2013 MacArthur fellow and founder and scientific director of the Character Lab. Angela's new book is GRIT: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. She was in the Northwest to speak at Seattle University, presented by Town Hall, Elliott Bay Book Company, and Seattle University, as part of the Civics series.
