January 2020: The Art of Motivating Others | BostonSpeaksSeries
What does it take to motivate others? Motivation is what drives people to keep pushing forward – but keeping those around you motivated isn’t always plain sailing.
There are a multitude of ways that you can motivate others - it doesn't always need fancy words and cheesy smiles. When you're leading people to reach a common goal - you must learn and understand what motivates different individuals and their needs from you as their leader.
