002_Learning To Learn - Conversation With Doug Lemov

30 minutes

Are there skills, mindsets, and environmental settings that enhance learning to such a degree that they ought to be thought of as prerequisites? Join us as we talk to best selling author Doug Lemov about talent development and what we can do to create the best learning environment possible. This is not just for coaches and teachers as anyone that has to work in a collaborative setting can learn a tremendous amount about improving the feedback they give one another. Doug details important aspects of effective feedback such as how we can be specific in our praise, like Steve Kerr illustrates in his pep talk to Stephen Curry, and how to create a culture where feedback is more likely to be received positively.
