Little Frogs: Motivation and the Pygmalion Effect



I just reviewed the cutest and most profoundly simple approach to encouragement in the workplace. It's called LITTLE FROGS, and it's an animated show by SpiritClips that illustrates the power encouragement (real or perceived) can have on outcomes. 

Little Frogs looks at the simple truth that encouragement and believing in yourself
and others can inspire us to do things that we (and others) think are impossible. I won't give away the "surprise" one frog has in this short motivational film, but when certain actions are misinterpreted,  incredible things happen.

View (and buy, of course) this uplifting motivating program - Little Frogs.
Or, go deeper with the the Pygmalion Effect: Managing the Power of Expectations, a more serious look at the the power of the self-fulfilling prophesy, or catch the link between perceptions and performance with Jane Elliott's Eye of the Storm or Indra Lahiri's Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes: Linking Perceptions and Performance.  Different approaches for the all the different Little Frogs in your organization.
