Science of Motivation with Ayelet Fishbach
Original air date: March 15, 2024
How often have you said: “I’ve lost my motivation”? As professor of behavioral science and motivation expert Ayelet Fishbach explains in this episode, this common expression is a fallacy.
Motivation is not willpower or a form of energy that can be depleted and recharged, she says. “It is knowledge”. That means that motivation can be learned, and it can be instilled in others.
In this episode, we turn to science to find out what it really takes to motivate yourself and others.
What to Say When You Disagree with Karin Hurt & David Dye
Original air date: May 10, 2024
If there is one thing I have learned in over 30 years of coaching, it is this: everything that happens in business happens in conversations. If you cannot communicate effectively and nurture strong relationships, you will not have the influence you want to have. A major part of that is your ability to manage conflict.
What do you say when there is disagreement? How do you stand up for yourself and your opinions without offending the other party? How do you say “No”?
Karin Hurt and David Dye have actionable advice and powerful phrases to use in situations of conflict.
