Podcasts about what motivates us

In Week 2 of our Grave Robber series, Pastor Mike Wilson shares a powerful message titled "People in Need." Through stories from John 5:1–15 and Mark 2:1–12, we discover how Jesus not only notices those who are hurting—but moves toward them with healing and hope. Every one of us is either someone in need or someone called to help carry another. Pastor Mike outlines four types of people in need—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally—and challenges us to open our hearts to what God wants to do in and through us. This message reminds us that miracles often start with compassion. Whether you're stuck like the man at the Pool of Bethesda or being carried by faith-filled friends like the man lowered through the roof, Jesus sees your need and invites you to healing. Key Scriptures: John 5:1–15 Mark 2:1–12 Luke 6:45 Galatians 6:2 Key Topics: – Jesus and people in need – The power of community – Carrying one another's burdens – Emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational healing – Faith that moves us to action Whether you're in need today or looking to support others around you, this message will speak to your heart and help you live out the mission of Jesus in a broken world.

For years, Aaron Witwer worked in physical therapy, helping patients recover from injuries and chronic conditions. But the more he saw people arriving at treatment after years—sometimes decades—of neglecting their health due to systemic barriers, the more he realized that something had to change. Instead of working at the end of the healthcare journey, he wanted to move upstream, helping people access care before they reached a crisis point. That realization led him to health plan design, where he now works to build equitable, accessible, and preventive health solutions that actually serve employees.In this episode, Aaron shares his career journey and how each step—whether in sports medicine, wellness coaching, or corporate health—was driven by a deep need for purpose and impact. He reflects on the moments that challenged him to question whether his work was truly meaningful, how he recognized when it was time to pivot, and what it took to align his career with his values. His story is a testament to taking an iterative, values-driven approach to your career and following the pull toward work that energizes and fulfills you.Resources:Learn more at benengage.comConnect with Aaron on LinkedInWatch: Atul Gawande: Want to get great at something?

In this week's episode, hosts Tatiana Fallon and Heidi Christianson delve into a critical challenge facing today's educators: student apathy. As seasoned educators themselves, Tatiana and Heidi engage in a knowledgeable and insightful discussion about the evolving dynamics of student motivation and engagement. Unlike past generations, today's students often show a distinct lack of enthusiasm for traditional learning methods. Tatiana and Heidi stress the importance of understanding the unique motivators for each individual student to effectively counteract this growing trend of inaction. The conversation navigates through various strategies to rekindle a passion for learning. Key among these is the concept of self-motivation. The hosts discuss how self-motivation isn't just a skill to be taught but a personal drive to be fostered within each student. They highlight the crucial role of accountability in maintaining motivation and how mentors can play a significant part in this process. Drawing on their backgrounds in education, Tatiana and Heidi explore how incorporating principles of autonomy, mastery, and purpose (see “Drive” by Daniel Pink) into teaching methods can significantly enhance student engagement. These elements help students feel in control of their learning journey, see the value in the skills they acquire, and understand the greater purpose behind their education. Perhaps the most poignant part of their discussion centers on the role of mentors. Both hosts agree that mentors have the unique capability to recognize and nurture potential in students, even when it may not be immediately obvious. This process requires patience, empathy, and a deep commitment to student development. This episode of the LEMIWorks Podcast is a must-listen for educators looking for practical and effective strategies to engage their students more deeply and combat the pervasive issue of apathy in education today.

So how come so many of us struggle to do the most basic things? Let alone the big things. That's what I want to talk about in this podcast episode today. How to find motivation when you have none, and how you likely got there in the first place. If you feel highly driven and ambitious, or have all but given up on taking action, this episode is for you. Stay tuned. ➡ "Drive: The Surprising Truth of What Motivates Us" by Daniel H.

From earliest stage start-up to coveted unicorns status, few people have had more of a front-row seat on helping grow businesses than Jenny Herald's guest on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines. Luca Cipriani, who is Head of Architecture and OKR Coach at Jimdo, knows intimately the strategic elements that make scaling ventures fly or fail – and he's sharing his rules of the road. It all starts, he says, with building nimbleness and psychological safety into the blueprint from your start-up's earliest days while keeping goals flexible without losing sight of the core North Star mission.Key things discussed How integrating OKRs into processes from the outset ensures they are foundational at every stage of execution. What the goals should be in building a framework for your start-up journey. Why it's important not to tie key initiatives too closely to key results. Which ingredients successful start-up cultures tend to share in common. What are some predictable barriers to building a healthy workplace – and how to head then off at the pass. The show wraps up with Luca's thoughts on the importance of keeping OKRs simple and giving teams the room to evolve, experiment, iterate and surprise. How integrating OKRs into processes from the outset ensures they are foundational at every stage of execution. What the goals should be at the outset of a start-up journey. Why it's important not to tie initiatives too closely to key results. Which ingredients successful start-up cultures tend to share in common. What constitute the most predictable barriers to building a healthy workplace – and how to head them off at the pass. Show Notes [00:03:13] Getting Started on the Journey: About at what point in scaling Luca Introduces OKRs and other optimization solutions. [00:04:33] What are the goals when implementing OKRs at an early stage: Creating strong alignment from the outset. Instituting systems to measure as much as possible any relevant KPIs. Introducing rational metrics that can anchor young founders as they navigate the high-stakes, high-stress start-up phase. Establishing a framework for what success looks like and means. [00:06:23] Balancing Quality and Quantity: Luca recalls how he has helped start-ups create sustainable objectives through systematic, evolving feedback. [00:09:08] It's a process: Why Luca believes OKR processes must necessarily be iterative and have built into them an assumption that there will be missteps as well as the need for reflections and adjustments along the way. [00:11:13] What it looks like to help founders or teams, at whatever stage, assess on an ongoing basis and roll those learnings into go-forward plans. [00:13:08] Luca explains how he deploys OKRs – and parses outcomes versus outputs and inputs – with early-stage start-ups that don't yet have a well-established baseline. Companies must have a clear North Star. Putting initial metrics in place can be a way to get started getting started putting measurable processes in place. [00:15:12] How Luca helps start-ups move into a scaling phase, deploying OKR processes that keep companies on track with their vision and strategy: Top-up as well as bottom-down collaboration. Intentionally aligned KPIs understood across teams. Cross-department communication to promote consistent global goals. [00:18:33] Why it's important not to tie specific initiatives to key results: It can yoke people to fruitless busy work. It reduces nimbleness. It thwarts creative problem-solving. It discourages experimentation. [00:20:38] Luca shares examples of unconventional wins and success stories worth millions of dollars saved through out-of-the-box flexibility with OKRs. [00:23:36] Going off the Rails: Illustrations (both real-world and in film) of how communication gaps, micromanagement and relentless pressure can take companies off course and away from core values by pursuing the extraction of value at any cost. [00:30:15] About mastery, purpose, autonomy and how flexible OKRs can be leveraged to motivate teams. [00:30:54] Taking a closer look at workplace cultures and the attributes Luca has seen in the unicorns with which he has worked: Maintaining a unity of purpose. Creating an environment in which all team members feel they're contributing. Preserving inter-departmental intimacy and removing barriers to communication. Cultivating agency among teams to be autonomous and work autonomously (i.e. minimize micromanagement). Delegating judiciously – enough but not too much. Emphasizing unity of purpose. Fostering psychologically safety so that teams feel free to seek help and admit failure. [00:36:05] About the concept of aligning around the perfect number of OKR objectives. And that number is? One! Not because there aren't other goals, but because the overarching focus needs to stay on the business's true North Star. [00:37:09] What Luca sees as the most common barriers to building healthy, effective workplace teams: Lack of communication. Toxic behaviors that squelch authenticity and honesty. Siloed teams. Lack of direct interaction and feedback. Lack of autonomy or agency to self-organize, act independently and surprise. [00:40:28] A Round of Quick-Fire Questions for Luca: What's your Dream with a Deadline? To have fewer things to do and to do them faster! What management techniques and practices do you believe have most helped the teams with which you've worked? Attention to detail, staying open-minded, helping people figure out how to raise the bar on quality. What advice would you give to keep teams focused while scaling up and incorporating OKRs? Set and communicate expectations clearly! Relevant links: https://lab.okrbusiness.com More about Monsters, Inc. More about The Lego Movie.

Hello So Deep Peeps!  Welcome to That's So Deep.  This is the podcast where we try to root out loneliness one conversation at a time. Today we are talking about Unsolicited Advice Part 2: What Motivates Us to Give Advice? Some deep things we cover:We are a Helpful Species: We made it this far because people know how to work together and collaborate.  Advice can be a way that people try to help.But Sometimes We Can Be Unhelpful (oops!): There are times when we give advice out of our own neediness and our own powerlessness.  We may not feel like we have control or agency in our own lives so we give advice to feel a sense of power or emotional validation.Let Me Give You Advice to Make You Stop Talking: Sometimes friends ruminate on a problem and we give advice in hopes of stopping the flow of complaints.  We discuss a more direct approach that may be worth a try.Being Teacher All the Time: There are folks who want to be teacher ALL THE TIME.  It can be excruciating.  We share some thoughts on how to try to view them with compassion and also let them know that you don't need their advice. Take-aways:Relationship Balance: Ask yourself if your go-to people can also go to you and vice versa.  Are there people who come to you but you can't go to them?  How does it make you feel in these relationships?  How do these relationships work for you?  If they don't work for you, what needs to shift?Check Your Motivations Before/During/After Giving Advice: Find friends who can help you grow in these areas.  If you find yourself spouting advice because your life is a bit chaotic and you're feeling needy…acknowledge that, apologize and ask for help.  You can check your motivations at any point in the process.Have Faith in People: Trust that others are on their journeys and they don't need you to advise them every step of the way.  Try encouragement in lieu of advice.  You may find it might just yield better results. We want to have a conversation with you!  Here's how to connect with us: Join our That's So Deep Community Group on Facebook.LIKE and FOLLOW us on:  Facebook @sodeeppeeps Instagram @thatssodeeppodText us or leave us a voicemail: 805-288-0884Email us: sodeeppeeps@gmail.comIf you liked this podcast, FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE or SHARE with a friend and if you don't want to miss an episode, click that BELL so you can be notified right away when the next episode releases.  We love you and we can't wait for our next deep conversation!Yours in Becoming, Phyllis & JulieResources and articles we referenced:Let's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower: Huston, ThereseThanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well: Stone, Douglas, Heen, SheilaThe Essentials: Giving Feedback - Women at Work | Podcast on SpotifyTypes of Unsolicited Advice That Cause StressHow to Handle Unwanted Advice by Setting Boundaries

Childhood Trauma is an emotional response to an event like an accident or attack, during our childhood years. It influences some of our immediate behaviour in childhood, but it can also have long lasting affects deep into adulthood, often without the realisation. However, does childhood trauma have as long lasting affects as they say? And does it get thrown around loosely on social media as a buzzword? We sit down to discuss what it means to us and if it provides rationalisation or even legitimisation for people's behaviours.   03:00 Are Black British actors better than their American counterparts, 03:50 Would we sell our bodies online for the right price?, 11:00 Is Trauma ever an Excuse?,  19:00 How childhood Trauma affects Adult Behaviour,  27:20 Are Millennials Cry Babies?, 37:07 Why our Greedy Habits make us unhappy, 46:55 Why you hate your 9-5?

Is it true that nice guys finish last? Sure, there are a lot of successful nice guys but there are a lot of successful jerks too. So which is it? The answer may actually lie somewhere in between. This episode begins with some interesting insight into that http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/06/why-it-pays-to-be-a-jerk/392066 What is the best way to motivate people? Traditional thinking has been that carrots and sticks – in other words rewards or punishments are the best way to get people to do things. Well that may work but there are other ways that are better says Daniel Pink, author of the book, Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us (https://amzn.to/2LNHze7). Daniel joins me to offer some advice on how to successfully motivate yourself and others. Friends are important but I bet you didn’t know just HOW important. Let’s put it this way… research shows not having a strong social network is equal to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. And that’s just one of the things I discuss about the importance of friends. http://www.rd.com/slideshows/friends-facts/#slideshow=slide2 Are you one of those people who hates small talk? Or perhaps you find it difficult to talk to strangers and connect with people. Or maybe you just wish you were better at conversation. If so, you need to listen to Jill Spiegel, author of the book, How to Talk to Anyone About Anything.(https://amzn.to/2t6tIb3). Jill is an expert when it comes to striking up conversations and making them count. Incidentally, she is also the great granddaughter of Joseph Spiegel, founder of the famous Spiegel mail order catalog. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He has won 3 lifetime achievement awards in the profession and has dedicated himself to better understanding the conditions necessary for all humans to flourish. His team's work has been accessed and applied by many researchers/writers around the world, including Daniel Pink, best-selling author of-Drive: The Surprising Truth of What Motivates Us. It was a genuine honor to speak with Dr. Ryan in this episode and to share his amazing work.Dr. Ryan's Bio: Richard M. Ryan is an influential University of Rochester Professor Emeritus of Psychology. He is a clinical psychologist and co-developer of Self-Determination Theory, an internationally recognized leading theory of human motivation. He lectures frequently in the United States and aboard on the factors that promote motivation and healthy psychological and behavioral functioning (applied to such areas as work and organizations, education, health, sport and exercise, video games and virtual environments). Ryan is among the most cited researchers in psychology and social sciences today and the author of over 400 papers and books in the areas of human motivation and well-being, including his best-selling book, Self-determination theory: Basic psychological needs in motivation, development and wellness (Ryan & Deci, 2017).

Daniel joins me to offer some advice on how to successfully motivate yourself and others.Friends are important but I bet you didn’t know just HOW important. Let’s put it this way… research shows not having a strong social network is equal to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. And that’s just one of the things I discuss about the importance of friends (http://www.rd.com/slideshows/friends-facts/#slideshow=slide2)Are you one of those people who hates small talk? Or perhaps you find it difficult to talk to strangers and connect with people. Or maybe you just wish you were better at conversation. If so, you need to listen to Jill Spiegel, author of the book How to Talk to Anyone About Anything (https://amzn.to/2t6tIb3). Jill is an expert when it comes to striking up conversations and making them count. Incidentally, she is also the great granddaughter of Joseph Spiegel, founder of the famous Spiegel mail order catalog.

Everyone in leadership knows Dan Pink, his books and his TED talks.If you want to lead, influence, or motivate people, it's a matter of time until you read or watch something of his. I started with Drive: the Surprising Truth of What Motivates Us, which led me to contact him (and criticize his work, listen to the podcast for the story).Since then, he's supported my work and was enthusiastic about his personal challenge. As a writer and educator, I indulged in asking him about his technique, so if you're interested in improving your technique and style, you'll hear some great tips from him.You also get a sneak preview about his new book, When: the Scientific Secrets of Perfect Planning, if it's before January 9, 2018.

Dr. Linda Sharkey and Morag Barrett, co-authors of The Future-Proof Workplace, share their views on how the industrial revolution left us with the broken and toxic workplaces we see today. Virtual enterprises and aspirational millennials do not thrive under command-and-control leadership. Linda and Morag talk about how a culture of curiosity, learning, diversity, growth, and purpose can future-proof the workplace to lend purpose and power to individuals and teams.   Key Takeaways [5:40] Linda explains that the rules of industry were designed for an era with different values and beliefs, such as the belief that people need to be controlled and managed to achieve their goals. The manual manufacturing environment is replaced by automation. ‘Command and control’ is still seen in the office. Linda would rather see ideas put in place to help people be the best they can be, and contribute fully. [9:59] Linda comments on command and control. She considers the pressure to produce and sell, which has been present since the Great Recession, causes leaders to revert to the default style of command and control to meet high-pressure deadlines. [16:09] Linda says more books are written on leadership than any other topic. Leadership has been an issue for thousands of years. The style of leadership that is engaging, focused on development and on the individuals you are leading, with heart, has always been successful. People have tolerated command and control, but changed conditions and technology have made it unsustainable for this century. [17:41] Linda considers how current massive changes may cause us to step back and ask how can we really get to that place we’ve all been talking about for the last 50 years, of belonging, of diversity, with a culture that values people, and makes them feel they can participate and innovate, and feel appreciated. Things will never be as they were in the 1960s, so embrace the change and transform along with it. [20:11] Morag studied authors Christophe Morin, Sebastian Junger, and Robin Dunbar for her first book, on the importance of professional relationships. Technology gives us an illusion of connection, but social media friends are not friends to call on in an emergency. The neuroscience of what makes us human — how we work together, is important. Morag cites Daniel Pink on autonomy, mastery, and purpose. [23:02] Linda stresses the importance of purpose. Purpose needs to be the rallying cause. People get much more excited about what they’re doing, when thinking from a purposeful perspective. Deep down, people do want to help other people, and want to make and do things that will make a difference and leave a legacy. [24:56] Connection and empathy are basic principles. Morag suggests pausing to check in, and connect, before you dive into the project. Relationships are critical to success in the 21st century. Linda says technology gives us information very quickly, but the emotional connection, and feeling of a relationship is what makes a difference to people. Google research shows that the best teams care about each other. [34:18] Morag says leaders today need to have these conversations: what culture do we have on this team, what are our rules of engagement, and how are we working together? Start creating a language and framework that effects change, at your level of influence, if you are not in the C-suite. There will be a ripple effect to the rest of the organization. [39:17] Deal humanely with people that don’t produce. But saying that a certain percentage will be cut is toxic. Look at your strategy, and look at your people. Who has the skills now to move the strategy forward, who needs development, and who would work better in another area, or at another company? Keep the workforce vital, to deliver on the strategy. Dump the rules, and grow people with the company. [43:49] Morag shares case studies. They helped someone pivot from the mindset of a treadmill career track to a portfolio career, where the same skills performed a different role, and provided empowerment and fulfillment. Linda and Morag helped a team move past the way it has always been done, to an innovative, influential solution. Linda and Morag helped an organization find hidden talent in-house. [47:18] Linda shares a cultural transformation story of a Canadian division of a global company. With six months of serious effort, they really changed how leadership acted, and how they were interacting with the company. They measured the results with psychometric tools. Over a year, they were able to turn the culture around to become a star division in the company. Use science, not hunches, to make changes.   Book: The Future-Proof Workplace: Six Strategies to Accelerate Talent Development, Reshape Your Culture, and Succeed with Purpose, by Linda Sharkey, PhD. and Morag Barrett Website: FutureProofWorkplace.com For a special 40% discount on the book.
