Motivation


Suggested Video.
The Science of Motivation.

​This video contains a lot of information very quickly so it probably requires a couple of viewings.  The main points are -
​
  • Money can be a motivator.
  • ​The 'Distraction Effect'.
  • ​Play is a strong motivator.
  • ​Goals matter.
  • Mental Contrasting.
  • ​Realistic views are important.
  • ​'What the hell' effect.
Wellness.
  • Don't harm:  Applying the wrong motivator to an individual or group can be counter productive.  For simple/functional tasks too little money can be seen as insulting, too much money can bring pressure which has a negative impact on performance.  For creative/executive tasks money may just be a distraction.
  • Make peace with everyone around you:  Get to know the people you hope to motivate.  Find out what excites them, everyone has a 'hot-button', find it and it will be a lot easier to apply positive motivation.
  • Make peace with the weaknesses of everyone around you:  Using rewards and punishment as motivators is only useful if the people in question fully understand what is required of them and have the capability to deliver.
  • Be happy:  I believe in carrot over stick and honey instead of vinegar.  People will be enthused by good natured energy and rewards are then seen as a tangible thank-you.  

What's Next?

Become a student of the two main types of motivation -
  1. Intrinsic which revolves around stimulation, enjoyment and interest.
  2. Extrinsic which is based on money, fame and praise.  
The main principle is to carefully match the reward to the individual and don't assume that what you find motivational will motivate those around you.

Do not lose sight of the fact motivation is an ongoing 'state-of-mind' best maintained by good leadership.  The type of motivation we are discussing here is episodic in the sense that it is used, on occasion, to obtain a special, unique or one-off result. 

So motivating people to work hard every day for a common goal is different to that of hitting a unique/unusual deadline or target.

Hello,

'"Success through soft skills, continuing education and growth..."

The content of this website is based on my experience, education and the hundreds of coaching sessions I have delivered online. 

I am also a representative of an FCA regulated company which means that my financial education activities fall under the rules of a very powerful consumer protection body. 

The FCA is the UK's financial regulatory body with a wide range of powers designed to protect consumers from firms that do not meet the desired standards.  The FCA can; stop firms and individuals from conducting regulated activities.  Fine firms and individuals who break the FCA rules.  Make any action taken against firms and individuals public.  Bring criminal proceedings where warranted.  The full scope of their powers can be found in the Decision procedure and penalties manual (DEPP).
