In this issue we’re going to help you better appreciate the multifaceted nature of motivation by diving into the science of motivation, sharing varying perspectives, and then discussing how we teach and coach motivation within our framework.
Don't drown your team in an ocean of information.
Don’t pack a room with a bunch of people unsure about why they’re attending.
Prioritize the message, ensuring everyone understands how they relate to the most critical objectives.
Have you ever thought to yourself, maybe I need to "just try harder"?
We've all been there: "Try reading this book, try using that technique, try attending a workshop, try to stress less." But let's be honest, the "trying" approach to personal development and leadership effectiveness typically leads to disappointment, frustration, and exhaustion in the long run.
Remember, effective leadership is not about shielding your team from all stress, but rather equipping them with the tools and support they need to navigate both challenges and obstacles effectively.
At STC, we say Resilience is the advancing through adversity!
We believe this definition gives us the comprehensiveness we need to intentionally work on our resilience. It’s both descriptive and prescriptive.
No one wants to believe that their attitudes and actions are the result of any sort of conditioning, but that’s most likely the case if we’re navigating life lacking sufficient self-awareness and intentionality.

The most effective leaders are capable of tapping into both their emotions and intuitions to inform their critical thinking.
Flourishing individuals in flourishing relationships in a flourishing environment can’t lose.
High performance is taxing and there are realities we can’t look away from or just pretend everything is going well when it’s not.
But some of the research we’re going to explore today does emphasize the importance of positivity or “positive emotions” in creating healthy, high performing environments. In fact it may help us realize the value in a little negativity as well.
