Topic: As we return to the workplace following the challenges posed by COVID-19, it is essential to take care of our well-being and mental health both at work and in our personal life. Understanding what motivation means to us and how our motivation levels change across contexts are key steps towards supporting our general well-being and self-efficacy.
In this workshop we will be tackling questions such as what makes us feel motivated in various work and personal environments, how our motivation levels change over time and what to do if we struggle to find motivation and purpose. As a key outcome, we will be focusing on personal goal setting and priorities.
