Finding the motivation to reach your full potential can be a challenge. Do you have the motivation you need to achieve your goals? Not everyone does. Maybe you feel like you don’t have enough energy to reach them, or you’re so overwhelmed you don’t know where to begin.
When you lack the energy or drive to do something, it’s extremely difficult to build it back up. When you’re able to become excited about reaching a goal, motivation will spark on its own. If you aren’t able to reach the level of excitement you need to get there, you need to be prepared to adjust that goal accordingly.
Sometimes, all it takes to become excited about a specific goal is to see others achieving their goals. Other times, you may need someone to push you to become better. It’s okay to ask for support. The sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be.
It's not what happens to use that we can control; its how we react and process what happens that is controllable. Regulating our emotions is a skill we can all learn.
One of the biggest challenges in conflict situations is to effectively control emotion. Without adequate control over emotions, it is probable that the situation will be poorly managed. This session considers a series of practical ways to think rationally, in a calm and considered way to get the best result from a conflict.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
