## Resource

Today, Jill explores the Pygmalion effect—the psychological principle that high expectations lead to better performance—and how it applies to coaching, team leadership, and even parenting. Treating people as more capable than they believe themselves to be is one of the most powerful tools a leader has. The opposite is also true: named the Golem effect, having low expectations of someone can tank performance or create client dependency through overly prescriptive meal plans or 24/7 availability. The bottom line is, whether you're leading a team, coaching clients, or raising kids, believing in people before they believe in themselves is what gives them permission to rise.
