Mentor Canada Visiting Expert Series

Join our Visiting Expert, Dr. David Yeager, as he explains how to adopt a mentor mindset by using a few highly effective and easy-to-adopt practices (validation, curiosity, transparency, and high expectations) and how to use the wise feedback method.

The mentor mindset and wise feedback method offer powerful ways of motivating young people, all backed by cutting-edge science. Dr. Yeager’s research has shown that these simple and practical strategies build stronger, more meaningful connections with young people while unlocking their full potential.

Pick up your copy of Dr. Yeager’s new book “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People” or check out his latest Master Class for an in-depth look at the science behind the mentor mindset.
