The Challenge
Human motivation naturally rises and falls, but most people were never taught how to work with this reality, rather than against it.
Individual challenges:
You start strong then quit around Week three.
You know what to do, but you can't find the will to do it.
The goal is months away, so you procrastinate.
You set detailed goals, but they do not inspire you enough to stay the course.
Client Challenges:
Clients leave energized, but don't follow through between sessions.
You waste 30-minutes of session time reteaching motivation basics.
Clients or staff members commit to the plan, but they can't execute consistently.
Clients or staff members start strong, but default to old patterns in a few weeks.
The Solution
Grounded in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, The Motivation Toolkit presents eleven research-based motivation tools organized into three categories: Initiate, Direct, and Sustain.
Because the motivation you need to get started is different than the motivation you need to stay the course.
Inside The Motivation Toolkit, you'll find:
-
Practical exercises that guide users through the challenges of getting started and remaining committed
-
Goal-setting techniques that, according to research, best support motivation
-
Actionable tools designed to fit into real life rather than ideal conditions.
-
The science and real-world examples for each tool.
The Spark: Initiate
Get moving when starting seems impossible.
The Goal: Direct
Channel energy where it matters most.
The Commitment: Sustain
Keep momentum going in the middle months.
