It is our MOTIVATION that gets us up in the morning SO It’s important to understand what MOTIVATES us
@MotivatedEdu /Achievement
When we are motivated we: • Learn better • Think faster • Find creative solutions • Achieve more WE ARE ENGAGED As well as the positive impact being motivated has on our mental health
Our motivators affect • our speed of decision making • our attitude to risk and change, and our focus • AND even our preferred environment!
Remember There are no wrong or right motivators Our Motivation isn’t a reflection of our skill Our motivators are our drivers
When we understand what someone’s INTRINSIC motivators are we can use EXTRINSIC motivators more effectively. Useful for 1. Ourselves 2. Our family / children/friends 3. Colleagues 4. Pupils
