Thoughts on Motivation
Did you know that “Motivation” is responsible for 60-70% of your unconscious decisions and actions?
Yet, it is one of the most misunderstood and misused word in the English language. Decisions are made on emotions and justified by logic. Only 5% are made consciously. If you are a coach, counselor, or advisor, it underscores everything from your client’s decision to hire you, to their ability to achieve their goals.
We believe it is arguably, the most influential element of personal and professional development – even though most people don’t understand it, and are under the illusion that they do.
