The Motivation Cycle: Discovering What Motivates Us
Location: LCC West, Lansing
Why is it that when a department is running along smoothly a single event can seem to zap the energy out of the entire staff? In this session we will take a look at what Motivates us and may De-Motivate us in regard to those single events that seem to suck the life out of each step we take. We will discover five areas, that when in rhythm, produce a flow of confidence. But, we will also discover why these same five areas, when out of rhythm, can produce erratic and confusing energy. Attendees will go home with specific strategies on how to use five components of motivation to further direct and focus their own energy and that of their employees and co-workers.
