QA Breakfast Valencia at RingCentral office

Topic: “Motivation: beyond the ‘carrot and stick’”

External rewards and pressure (“do this or else”) can push people only so far. Real, sustainable motivation in any team is built as a system — in how we design work, give feedback, set goals, and relate to each other every day.

At this breakfast, we’ll talk about motivation using evidence-based tools from organizational psychology, not random books ideas. Together we’ll explore:

🧩  Motivation as a system
How processes, leadership style, and personal drivers interact — and why “just give them a raise rarely works.

🚀  How to maintain your team’s motivation
Practical ways to support motivation in teams.

🔍  Motivation components you can use for yourself and others
What actually fuels motivation (beyond salary and praise).

🎙 Speaker: Asya Isakova — organizational psychologist and leadership consultant, MBA-lector at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona). I help team leads and managers build healthy, high-performing teams using research-based approaches and people connection. 

Also in agenda: 
☕   Hot meal to start off your morning 
✌️   Open discussion on presented topic and other 
👥   Friendly networking
