Motivation Skills
Motivation is the force that makes us do things.
Problem
The UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) reported in 2010 that
“where young people do not
meet employers’ expectations, the causes were most likely ... in
their attitudes and motivations to work”. Someone’s level of
motivation effects not just the output of their business but also
their own sense of wellbeing and job satisfaction. However, although
much has been written on motivating others, relatively little help
is available for developing one’s self-motivation skills.
Solution
This intensive 4-hour motivation skills “bootcamp” teaches both the theory and, more importantly, the practise of motivation as it applies to today's workplace. Candidates will learn how to motivate both themselves and others to make work a more efficient and ultimately more satisfying experience.
Deliverables: by the end of the 4 hours candidates will be able to:
- Know the main theories of motivation
-
Practically apply these in the work environment
-
Demonstrate motivational techniques
-
Overcome common networking inhibitions
- Interpret
and use body language
-
Modify techniques to suit their own personal style
Who should attend
Anyone who wants to learn how to boost morale and efficiency at work.
“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents ”
