• A before and after example –showing why motivating others doesn’t work and what does work.
• The three primary psychological needs that are essential to all of us to not only thrive but to flourish.
• An example of how we can apply the science of meeting our psychological needs in the workplace.
• Popular motivational methods of motivation and how they are really totally ineffective.
• How we confuse personalized feedback with expressions of gratitude and why this matters.
• The difference between personalized feedback with expressions of gratitude.
• The power of pure informational feedback and the science behind it.
• How to align your feedback with meaningful and agreed-upon goals both at home and at work.
• How to shift the quality of our own motivational experience so that you can help others make the shift.
