Susan Fowler  (dubbed “Motivation Expert Extraordinaire” by PDU Of The Day)  will share the three skills for creating a highly productive and actively engaged workplace. – Don’t miss this one!

In this webinar, motivation expert Susan Fowler will share the three skills for creating an actively engaged workplace by examining what leaders intentionally or accidentally do that either undermines or facilitates people’s intentions to perform beyond standard expectations—and sustain that performance over time.

Drawing from the design of The Ken Blanchard Companies’ new Optimal Motivation training program, Susan will explore what leaders can do to enhance and develop every individual’s natural inclination to grow and excel.

Learn 3 skills that help facilitate people’s optimal motivation:

• Identifying an individual’s current motivation by exploring the characteristics of six possible motivational outlooks.
  Shifting motivational outlooks through “why” questions, promoting mindfulness, aligning with values, and connecting with purpose.
• Reflecting and maintaining higher levels of motivation by examining well-being, considering key reasons for shifting or not shifting, and developing the skills to reframe any goal or task.
• Shifting motivational outlooks through “why” questions, promoting mindfulness, aligning with values, and connecting with purpose.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what leaders can do to create a work environment where people are self-motivated to perform at high levels, go above and beyond job descriptions, and work collaboratively toward common goals.
