The Science of Performance and Motivation

An online workshop hosted by the Transformative Studies Ph.D. program.

Join us for a dynamic 90-minute workshop based on the principles from "Primed to Perform: How to Build the Highest Performing Cultures Through the Science of Total Motivation (tomo)." In the first half, we will delve into the science of motivation, exploring key concepts and strategies to enhance team performance. Following this, participants will engage in a collaborative health check, where they will assess their current motivational state and discuss ways to be supported. This interactive session aims to foster a supportive and motivated learning environment.
