A training course designed to raise participants' awareness of what motivates them, as well as techniques for motivating others.
Course Context
Motivation is what drives us to achieve our goals and, as a result, feel fulfilled and happy with our overall quality of life. This course is designed to increase awareness of motivational techniques. During the course delegates identify what motivates them and how they can find out what motivates others.
The day is a revealing insight into people’s needs and drives and the ways in which we can develop them to the best advantage of the individual, the team and the organisation.
Some of the more important motivation theories are discussed and put into a practical application, enabling delegates to return to work with an action plan.
