Class Description

Motivation can improve our lives, and increasing motivation allows us to improve our way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. However, what if you haven’t felt motivated lately, especially at work? With the ambiguity and uncertainty emanating from the coronavirus pandemic and current political and economic challenges, do you need to feel more engaged and connected to a purpose in your work life? 

Within this safe, supportive, and interactive environment, you’ll explore the dimensions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, assess your motivation levels and needs, and identify which forces drive action within you. Relating this knowledge to your work environment, you’ll dive into the root causes of your lack of motivation. You’ll evaluate the changes required to create an enjoyable work experience that supports your productivity and performance while addressing your motivational needs. 

In this course, you’ll learn how to understand the components of long-term motivation and how to build a motivational mindset. You’ll leverage cutting-edge motivation strategies to crush false beliefs and negative concepts of self, overcome obstacles, stay motivationally energized, and spark similar energies in others.
