You may already know, but this is based on the book Mindset by Carol Dweck, and is nicely summarized in these youtube videos:
Ashley Merryman & Po Bronson: The Myth of Praise (link-

Thank you so much! That first video was really helpful. I'm looking forward to watching the second, but it'll have to wait until later tonight.

Thanks again!! smile
