Carol Dweck will be making a "Mindset" presentation in my community. I am planning to attend. I don't know if she will entertain questions, but I thought I would prepare a couple just in case. The problem is, I am having a hard time wording them without revealing my views. I want to hear an objective answer that will help me understand the attraction, not a defensive answer that will leave me frustrated.

I will reread the book beforehand to try and open my mind a bit. While I don't disagree with everything she says, I am certainly at odds with some things. Our head honcho is an avowed "Dweckian". I want to understand why.

Have you heard Dr. Dweck speak? Does she engage the audience? Suggestions what to listen for? And finally, what would you ask her?
