How to Make Motivation Last

The old way of motivating people is broken.

Too often, we experience a fleeting moment of high energy while watching an inspiring video or listening to a motivational speech, only to have our motivation fade within minutes of finishing. The same is true of other motivational gimmicks from corporate incentives to gamification leaderboards. They don’t last. We don’t need more inspirational feelings, we need enlightened understanding.

This talk offers something different. James Clear will methodically break down the science of how to get motivated in the first place and how to stay motivated for the long-run. How do you get addicted to taking action regardless of how you feel on any given day? How do you maintain motivation when you get bored working toward your goals? Rather than experiencing a temporary high and immediately slipping back into old routines, audience members will enjoy a series of a-ha moments that help them reframe the way they motivate themselves on a daily basis. Whether you’re trying to figure out how to motivate yourself or how to motivate a team, this talk will not only cover everything you need to know, but also give you the skills and knowledge you need to maintain motivation for good.
