What Motivates Me: Put Your Passions to Work
After surveying more than 850,000 people, New York Times bestselling authors Chester Elton & Adrian Gostick have found the key difference between employees who are most energized and productive at work is whether or not their work aligns with what motivates them.
In the What Motivates Me keynote, Chester offers an extensively tested method for leaders to identify their employees’ unique blend of core motivators and then help them align just a little more of their work with what drives them—creating huge boons in productivity and engagement.
In a fresh and thought-provoking keynote presentation, audiences will learn:
- A step-by-step method to help identify employees’ particular blend of core motivators.
- A process to figure out the disconnect that may exist between employees’ passions and their current work situation.
- 60 simple but powerful job-sculpting strategies to help people “accomplish more” and “avoid blind spots.”
