Do you ever notice how some couples only sprint toward “saving the marriage” when the divorce papers are already drafted—while others seem to glide forward, energized by a shared dream? In this week's episode of Master Your Marriage, we tackle the sneaky trap of away-from motivation (fixing things only when the fire alarm blares) versus the power of a toward vision that pulls you closer every day. From the cautionary tale of “Mark and Lisa” to a five-minute future-pacing meditation you can try today, you'll discover why dodging pain keeps you on a hamster wheel—while chasing a vivid, magnetic dream propels your relationship into lasting joy.Key TakeawaysVision Beats Crisis Mode: Couples thrive when they're propelled by a clear picture of what they want—not just a terror of what might go wrong.Toward vs. Away Motivation: Toward taps the prefrontal cortex (planning, reward); away fires up the amygdala (threat detector). Guess which one fuels sustainable connection?Self-Sabotage Loop: Relying on fear creates boom-and-bust cycles—think lottery winners who go broke or spouses who coast till the next blow-up.Science-Backed Shift: Deci & Ryan's Self-Determination Theory shows goals aligned with values drive deeper satisfaction than “avoid-pain” goals ever will.One Tiny Action Wins: A single intentional habit—daily check-ins, a kind note, listening without fixing—can yank you off the crisis rails and onto the vision highway.Anchor the Future: Their guided five-minute meditation lets you feel next year's dream marriage now, then “anchor” it with a thumb-and-finger press you can trigger anytime motivation wanes.Dive Deeper“Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation” by Edward Deci & Richard Ryan – The classic paper on toward motivation.“Drive” by Daniel H.

Align with Your Zone of Genius: Reflect on what you're naturally good at and passionate about, then find ways to incorporate it into your parenting, work, and daily life.

"Leaders can't motivate people—and nor should they. But what you can do is foster an environment where intrinsic motivation can thrive." - Winnie da SilvaWhat if I told you that motivating your team isn't your job? It sounds counterintuitive, right? As a leader, your instinct is to inspire your team to perform at their best—but real, lasting motivation comes from within. In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, I challenge the traditional view of leadership by flipping the script: instead of motivating your team, focus on creating an environment where intrinsic motivation can thrive. Through meaningful one-on-one conversations, leaders can help team members clarify what drives them, align work with their passions, and ultimately improve engagement and performance. Motivation isn't a one-size-fits-all approach—it's personal, dynamic, and deeply impactful when done right.Listen to me talk about:Motivation is Personal - What motivates you may not motivate your team. That's okay—and understanding this is the first step to unlocking better performance and engagement.Leaders Can't Motivate People—And They Shouldn't - Your role as a leader is not to "motivate" others. Instead, it's about creating the conditions where intrinsic motivation can flourish.Meaningful Conversations Drive Engagement - When was the last time you had a one-on-one conversation with a team member about what truly drives them? These conversations are key to building trust, uncovering motivators, and reigniting engagement.Intrinsic Motivation Matters More Than Perks - People are most engaged when their work aligns with intrinsic motivators like autonomy, purpose, and progress—not just external rewards like paychecks or promotions.Shared Responsibility: Team Members & Leaders - Motivation is a two-way street. Team members must reflect on what they want, communicate openly, and take initiative, while leaders must facilitate clarity, encourage ownership, and provide support.Practical Steps for Leaders: I share a step-by-step guide for holding motivational one-on-one conversations:Clarify what's important – Help team members articulate what matters most to them.Define the gaps – Identify where their current experience falls short of their desires.Problem-solve together – Collaborate to find actionable ways to align work with motivators.Powerful Reflective Questions for One-on-Ones - Here are six questions you can ask to help your team members uncover what drives them:At this point in your life and career, what are the two to three most important things you want from your job?On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with your current job? What would it take to get closer to a 10?What parts of your job do you enjoy the most? The least?If you could change your job to make it more rewarding, what changes would you make?What's one thing you're not getting enough of from your work?What have you noticed about how your motivators have evolved over time?ResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack I Email - winnie@winnifred.org

In this conversation, Una Japundza and Doug Dosberg explore the concept of rewards in the workplace, emphasizing the importance of intrinsic motivation over extrinsic incentives. They discuss the potential pitfalls of calculated rewards and the introduction of gift cards in Hey Taco, highlighting the need for thoughtful implementation. The conversation also touches on different types of rewards, including collaborative rewards, and personal experiences that illustrate the impact of recognition and appreciation in a team culture.Key TakeawaysCalculated rewards can diminish genuine appreciation.Rewards should enhance recognition, not replace it.Intrinsic motivation is key to sustained engagement.Gift cards can be effective if used thoughtfully.Personalized rewards foster a deeper connection.Collaborative rewards encourage teamwork and unity.Mandatory time off can be a powerful reward.Automated recognition can feel insincere.Feedback is crucial for product development.Celebrating individual milestones can strengthen team culture.Chapters00:00 The Essence of Rewards08:41 Introducing Gift Cards in Hey Taco15:29 Types of Rewards in Hey Taco

“If you develop or even have all of the physical abilities and all of the physical skill sets, THEY ESSENTIALLY ARE USELESS, if you don't have the right mental skills to help let them come out.” --Dr. Bobby Low “We know that there's lots of things that come into our minds as performers or as athletes that interfere with our performance-- that block our performance-- that inhibit our performance...

I'm delighted to speak with Dr Thomas Simpson this week. Thomas is a lecturer in Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition at Edge Hill University. He is interested in how motor learning and motor skill acquisition in children can be optimised through attentional and motivational factors. Thomas obtained his BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and his PhD at Edge Hill University.  In this episode we discuss a paper Thomas co-wrote which examined the use of OPTIMAL Instructions and Feedback in Physical Education Settings. Here, OPTIMAL stands for Optimizing Performance through Intrinsic Motivation and Attention for Learning. It is a theory of motor learning developed by Gabriele Wulf and Rebecca Lewthwaite.  The paper investigates how PE teachers can use instruction and feedback which promote OPTIMAL theory motor learning factors (e.g., an external focus of attention, enhanced expectancies and autonomy support) to enhance children's motor learning.

In this conversation, Phil and Lisa explore the concept of flow state, particularly in the context of facilitation and training. They discuss personal experiences with flow, the balance between ability and challenge, and the role of facilitators in creating an environment conducive to flow. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding individual and group dynamics to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.   Facilitators play a crucial role in creating flow for participants. Personal experiences can significantly influence the perception of flow. Boredom and apathy can arise from low challenge in a group setting. High challenge with low ability can lead to frustration and disengagement. Designing activities that promote flow requires understanding group dynamics. Intrinsic motivation is key to maintaining engagement in learning environments. Facilitators should model flow to inspire participants. Challenge by choice allows individuals to find their own balance of ability and challenge. Reflection on past experiences can inform future facilitation strategies.

Whether you are on the client side or the coach side, if you are trying to make positive changes in your life in regard to fitness, nutrition, and your health in general, having strategies to help you take a step forward and get better results is crucial. Having the right approach when it comes to improving your nutrition and fitness, especially when dealing with a lack of motivation or self-sabotage, comes down to the science behind health behavior change. Key Takeaways If You Want to Understand Your Mindset Better, You Should: Work with a coach or a client who is willing to talk about and prepare for the hard stuff Understand that mindsets can shift drastically and often Be kind to yourself when struggling with a lack of motivation or self-sabotage Your Mind and Your Health with Kasey Jo Orvidas Kasey holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and is a certified health and fitness coach. She has spent a good chunk of her life developing some serious expertise in mindset and health behavior change. She has transformed hundreds of lives (and minds) in her coaching career, while also being published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals for her research exploring the relationship between our mindset and our health and fitness behaviors. The Base of the Pyramid Your mindset is the lens through which you see the world through, how you assign meaning to things, and how you make sense of what is happening around you. It is the base of the pyramid for your health and nutrition, which is why it is so essential to understand the science behind making positive changes.  When you are able to face mindset challenges, you can start working towards more consistency, more motivation, and ultimately better mindset health outcomes. Not All Sunshine and Rainbows I'm sure you have heard people preaching positivity and mindset in the fitness space, but this is not a show about pushing through negative thoughts. Instead, Kasey Jo wants you to think about the hard stuff and prepare yourself for those inevitable moments when you get tripped up psychologically.  Addressing problems from a mindset perspective, whether you are a coach or a client, will help you determine which path will be the most successful in the long run. While truly understanding psychology, mindset, and behavior change is not necessarily the norm, Kasey Jo is working to fix that one person at a time.

So, literally, the worst-case scenario is just where you are right now. So the worst you can do is try, potentially be successful, level up, and get to this next spot and this outcome you are looking to achieve. Worst-case scenario you literally are where you are right now.” (18:11) “When we are talking about behavior change and longer-term goal pursuit, just visualizing the outcome, just manifesting, is not that helpful. And this is according to the research. What is helpful is sure, do all of that, please do all of that, but then also bring it back to reality. Think about what is inevitably going to get in your way; talk about the barriers, the challenges, and the setbacks. (30:56) “The reality is it is not all sunshine and rainbows all the time when you are working towards something new and challenging and different and trying to make changes in your life that you haven't been able to do before. And recognizing that things are going to be hard helps you have a different lens.” (31:25) “If you can't tell, I am extremely passionate about what I do and can really get going on some of these topics.
