This chapter discusses methods for motivating oneself, both directly and indirectly. It outlines learning objectives around developing skills for self-motivation during training courses and daily work. Specific techniques are presented, including setting SMART goals, rewarding accomplishments, triggering interests, and maintaining a positive mindset. The chapter emphasizes that individuals are responsible for their own motivation and should celebrate successes to feel appreciated and remain driven.

4 coaching models that may be useful to people who mentor. I recommend starting with one - getting super familiar with it and then move on to another one.
Mindfulness for your Leadership and Personal GrowthReiner Kraft
Reiner Kraft, ehemaliger CTO und Technology Leader, hat nach mehr als 20 Jahren Silicon Valley das Thema Mindful Leadership als erfolgreiche Führungsmethode im persönlichen und im Führungskräfte-Coaching entdeckt. Er arbeitet nun als Trusted Advisor und Führungskräfte Coach. In diesem auf Deutsch gehaltenen Vortrag )Slides sind aber in Englisch) wird uns Reiner die Punkte Mindfulness Leadership, Stress Resilienz und Deep Innovation vorstellen. Achtsamkeit ist eine Grundlage, die Dein Bewusstseins-Wachstum kultiviert und neue Fähigkeiten (zum beispiel emotionale Intelligenz) in Dir entstehen lässt. Sie ist ein persönlicher Wachstumskatalysator und verbessert auch Deine bestehenden Führungs- und Unternehmerfähigkeiten. Als Technologieführer habe ich die positiven Auswirkungen der Achtsamkeit bei der persönlichen Anwendung und in meinen Organisationen beobachtet und untersucht. Das hat mich dazu motiviert, meine Erkenntnisse zu teilen und einen Überblick darüber zu geben, wie Du in verschiednen Dimensionen von New Leadership, Stress Resilienz und tiefer Innovation davon profitieren kannst.
Mindset for Achievement: How to Boost Achievement and Fulfillment Through Min...BayCHI
Carol Dweck at BayCHI, May 11, 2010: Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. Dweck's research also shows that praising intelligence can harm motivation by creating a fixed mindset. People also tend to believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They're wrong. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports.
Is it necessary to have some sort of inspiration in the workplace? The answer is a big YES. People perform at their highest level when they are inspired and motivated.
I had to present months ago to the team about a topic I was interested in and thought would be great to share in hope that it would be useful at work. I've finally put it on SlideShare. Hopefully this presentation lights a spark in you as it did with me as I was reading up on it.

You cannot always rely on others to encourage you.You must rely on your own motivation to get you through. Lack of self motivation at that time could lead to depression and failure.

Self motivation is the ability to drive oneself to take initiative and action to pursue goals and complete tasks. It’s an inner drive to take action — to create and to achieve. It’s what pushes you to keep going on tasks, especially those you’re pursuing because you want to, not because someone told you to.

8. What Does Motivation Mean?
Motivation describes the
pursuit of goals or desirable
objects for the human

28. Celebrate Yourself!!!
Many times we feel a lack of motivation when we don‘t
receive a lot of recognition and appreciation. You
cannot expect that people will applaud you whenever
you accomplish a certain task or challenge. In order to
remain motivated you have to acknowledge and value
your own successes. Celebrate yourself every now and
then after accomplishing a big obstacle. Self-praise is
the answer! Let your partner know as well. Enjoy the
beauty of being „done“ with something. When you
finish certain tasks with that attitude in your mind you
will for sure have more fun next time you face a
challenge of this degree. Then, you will relate it to
something positive and good.
29. Bottom Line
For the purpose of self-motivation set daily, weekly, and monthly events that
trigger fun and pleasure within yourself
Attach guiding principles and values to each and every day
Exaggerating perfectionism can create too high expectations and can lead to
demotivation
Take small steps towards the large goal of task-completion, go step by step and
celebrate each of them when accomplished
Be excited about what you accomplished each and every day at work
Only schedule the amount of meetings that you can go to and be prepared for.
Time-management is a big part of motivation. Don‘t hesitate to say NO when
too much is demanded...
