 Attitude and MotivationOver the years I have had numerous clients enquire "What have you got to motivate my staff?" This question gets me thinking "How does one person motivate another?", "Why isn't the person motivated already?", "What is causing this situation?".
Can one person motivate another? Not really - they have to motivate themselves. You can however set up an environment where they motivate themselves. That's where Training and Leadership Skills come in.
The underlying foundation is Attitude - How is this created. One of the first things I learnt when I started in the training industry (many, many years ago) is that "behaviour breeds behaviour" and "behaviour is a result of a person's attitude". So negativity breeds more negativity, but on the flip side positivity breeds positivity. When a positive environment is created it will positively affect an employee's attitude, thus lead to a motivating behaviour.
So in answer to the question - "What have you got to motivate my staff?" Everything we have will aid in providing an positive environment - skills are improved and cultures are created. |

Don't Panic! - A recipe for success in times of stress NEW!
 Panic comes in many shapes and sizes. Their common denominator is that they are never helpful. Whether in your work or personal life, to panic is to lose perspective and succumb to fear. This often leads to poor decisions, lost focus, paralysis and a bad outcome. Don't Panic! was created to help people within organisations handle stressful situations in a way that is positive and productive.
Duration: 24 minutes

Seeing Red Cars
 You could be getting more of what you want!
In this training programme, viewers will learn that we get more of whatever we focus on. Many of us have a tendency to focus on what we don't want, instead of what we do want. Join Laura Goodrich in this fast paced programme as she discusses how to stop focusing on what we don't want and instead, place our efforts on what we do want!
Historical footage of Cliff Young, the Australian ultra-marathon legend is used as a memorable example of having the right focus.

Yes Lives in the Land of No
 Understanding the sources of negativity - both our own and others - is essential for people to work together effectively. This video-based training programme is designed to help workshop participants develop skills for their own journeys in the Land of NO - overcoming resistance, roadblocks, and rebuffs.
The programme provides simple how-to instruction that's both practical and entertaining. It will help participants deal with negativity faster, more effectively, and with a lot less discouragement and despair.

Attitude and Motivation - Managers |
Performance Matters: The Importance of Praise
Featuring John Cleese, this programme is designed to ensure that managers understand how to use praise to make their staff realise that their efforts are appreciated.
At the top of the list of why people think of leaving their jobs is the fact that they feel they aren't appreciated enough. This programme makes the point that giving praise where it's due is a management tool that's powerful, cheap and easy to use. It can bring amazing results in terms of increasing the quality and quantity of the output of the people who work for them, providing it is correctly applied. 
Duration: 21 minutes

It's OK to be the Boss NEW!
This highly entertaining programme claims that the days of "hands-off" management need to end as it is now turned into an under-management epidemic!
The programme is a call to action for managers, supervisors and leaders in any organisation to rectify the situation. The pressure for individuals in authoritative positions is ever increasing with heightened expectations and productivity measures. To achieve such measures it is absolutely essential to spell out expectations, provide specific guidelines, correct failure quickly and reward success to employees, as this programme will outline.
