11. The advice to
take from Dan’s
talk over all…
Be passionate of what you’re talking
about! Don’t be motivated by the “you
have to do it attitude” or reward
yourself for doing it
Keep your creative freedom with what you want
to speak about, or you’ll only be focused on the
‘have-to’s’ and only narrow your mind to what
you can do with your speec

12. “There’s a mismatch between what science
knows and what business does…”
“20th century motivators work, but
only in a surprisingly narrow band
of circumstances”
“If than rewards
“Secret to high performance isn’t often destroy
rewards and punishments, it’s
autonomy “ creativity”
