Here's How to Build and Keep Workplace Motivation and Inspiration High, for Yourself and Your Team

Workplace motivation and inspiration is NOT like a college degree.

You don't get it, put the diploma on the wall and say,
"Done! Accomplished! On to the next thing..."

It's not static. It's something that you have to focus on consistently if you want to keep it. And some days, motivation is easier to find than others.

These folks are "Having a Bad Day..."


"My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration:
set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual."

---Phyllis Diller

Have you seen this kind of aggravation and frustration seep out in your job? On your team?

improving workplace motivation,

The video's pretty extreme, but they are all real office situations caught on tape.

Maybe if someone videotaped you and your team's low workplace motivation they'd only record apathy, low energy and missed deadlines.

Whether it's extreme or subtle, low commitment on the job, is costly and frustrating to everybody, including the person who's not motivated.

It's just not normal to not try to be and give your best.

Economic Cost of Low Workplace Motivation:
Each actively disengaged employee costs an average of $15,922 per year.

(That's $328 billion in lost productivity
divided by 20.6 million people,
per the Gallup Organization).

There are three things that must be in place for workplace motivation to remain consistent.

I'll share what they are here, plus you'll find out about a powerful daily individual and team resource that will help you in building and keeping a positive attitude in the workplace: My Inspiration4Life daily online workplace motivation coaching program.

“Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.”
--- Leon Trotsky


What can you do to raise yourself and your team above this blatant or subtle negativity?

How can you get yourself and your team out of the tangled and messy web of anger and frustration?

Three Elements for More
Workplace Motivation, and Less Frustration

If you want to make workplace motivation more consistent for yourself and your team you must have these elements:

  1. Sense of hope and confidence about self and work.
  2. Individual ownership of attitude, ability and work.
  3. Connection and support to maintain a positive outlook.

Throughout this website you'll find numerous individual and team tools, handouts, assessments and resources to help with each of the three essential elements.

For daily assistance I recommend this powerful online tool from MyInspiration4Life.

Use it to build hope and ownership around individual motivation, and to provide daily support for yourself and each member of your team.

90% of your employees do not invest or study personal development materials on their own. Yet, a high percentage are struggling with keeping their workplace motivation up.

If your people are on edge, or if you're on edge, give yourself the gift of workplace motivation.

This kind of anger and frustration is not normal and will sink workplace motivation fast... (1 minute, 3 second video)

Low Workplace Motivation is ABNORMAL...

Those of you who feel anger, resistance and low workplace motivation and who think that it's normal...

I want you to know, it's not normal. It's ABNORMAL.
It is not anything like who you are.
  • What is normal to you and your team is enthusiasm.
  • What is normal to you and your team is laughing a lot many times a day.
  • What is normal to you and your team is to feel strong, sure, confident and secure.
  • What is normal to you and your team is to feel so much self-confidence in your life and in your work and about who you are, that when you look at others you're always in a positive place and able to uplift others.
  • What is normal to you and your team is to have so much energy at the end of the day that you're looking for more good things to do.
  • What is normal to you and your team is to have such passion for life that when you're with other people you're eager to hear about what they're doing and how they're doing it.
  • What is normal to you and your team is to have so much energy at the end of the day that you're already eagerly planning tomorrow.
  • What is normal to you and your team is feeling disappointment that the sun goes down and enthusiastic that the sun comes up.
  • What is normal to you and your team is a zest for life beyond anything that most of you over 8 years old have remembered or felt in a long time.
THAT's what is normal.
