Motivation Is Personal: Are You Tapping into It?

Every organization wants to hire “self-motivated” individuals. Self-motivation shows up in the competency model, the job description, the behavioral interviewing questions, and the expectations for the role. More often than not, people who have demonstrated “self-motivation” are selected for these roles. So what happens? Why do these self-motivated individuals seem to lose their motivation? What causes dips in motivation that sweep across an entire organization? And what can you do about it? (Spoiler alert: managing out the people who aren’t motivated and replacing them with “self-motivated” individuals won’t work over the long term!) Learn how to personally motivate every member of the team in ways that are self-sustaining and long-term. Learn how to increase and magnify self-motivation. And learn what NOT to do so you won’t diminish self-motivation. During this presentation, you may even find some tools you can use for your own boost in motivation.
