The Motivation Loop
Acceptance and maximization of change is a leadership role anyone in an organization can
play. Help people become more comfortable with change and understand that it’s often a
matter of when, not if, things change. This conversation addresses the need for change, the
reasons for change, and how to get buy-in for that change.
WHAT YOU’LL BE COVERING
• Discuss motivation and how it is generated by action.
• Look at the 3 reasons people change behaviours and general attitudes toward change.
• Examine the purpose for change by looking at 3 probable outcomes.
• Cover reminiscing—the advantages, the drawbacks, and how we should do so moving forward.
Motivation ... is a by-product. When you’re actively
engaged in doing something, the motivation to keep on
doing it sneaks up and zaps you when you least expect it.

What to Do About Free
“Free” is a magical word. As Chris Anderson discusses in his book of the same name, it’s
more than a price. It’s an emotional hot button that often evokes irrational or impulsive
decisions. With the rapidly declining costs of product and distribution that the Internet
allows, FREE is becoming an important concept for everyone.
WHAT YOU’LL BE COVERING
• Discuss how the concept of FREE affects us all, regardless of whether our business is in the
physical or digital world.
• Use the Internet to explore how the competition are using FREE.
• Explore new ways to leverage FREE to connect to clear business advantages.
• Plan changes and action steps.
