When we don’t enjoy something or see growth because of it, it’s hard for us to be engaged in our work. If you or your employees need motivation, take a look at the tasks at hand and the potential for personal development.

When you lead a group, balancing the roles of facilitator, group, & content is tough. When you focus too much on one area to the exclusion of another, you likely fall into one of these three facilitation pitfalls.

To best create positive learning environments, we don’t necessarily have to learn new things — we just have to remember the key players involved and recognise their role in the learning experience.

We all work for money, but that’s not the only reason. These four valued outcomes beyond pay drive our employees to do their best and really engage in their work!

Everybody misses work sometime, but if the excuses start multiplying, you likely have a problem with employee engagement.

We’re all influenced by others. (We just don’t like to admit it.) Instead of ignoring social pressures, we need to harness its power. Here’s how.

It’s easy to forget how much power lies in social influence. We naturally influence each other all the time. So, how do we harness that influence to bring about organisational change? It starts with you.

Training groups is tough. When we use these three essential components of facilitation, we help groups learn better and accomplish their goals.

Motivation is less complicated than we make it. To effectively motivate others, we need to understand their priorities and the communicate the natural consequences of their behaviour.

Our surroundings can influence us negatively or make us more focused & effective. Why not change your environment to work to your advantage?

Our personal choices don’t always make a difference in how much we eat or how we work. Sometimes it’s the way our lives are structured. Sometimes, to change behaviour, we have to change the structure.

When we strive for change, we can’t just modify any random behaviour. We need to change the vital behaviour that carries disproportionate impact on our success. Finding that vital behaviour is the key to our success.

The best influencers focus on changing behaviours of disproportionate influence. These are VITAL behaviours. If you want your results to change, you have to change the behaviours that have the most leverage in accomplishing your goal.

Goals are great — but they’re not what drives change. If we hope to achieve the goals we set, we have to change behaviour.

Wish people would do what you needed them to? With better skills to influence, maybe you could get that loud co-worker to quiet down or another co-worker to meet their deadlines. Here’s how:
