MOTIVATED AF

MOTIVATED AF Description

You’ve got high ambitions for your career and life and DO NOT want to be told to slow down. But the truth is, you know that sometimes (regularly?) you push too hard for too long and end up drained, crispy, or fully burned out without energy left for living your life. And if you’re being really honest, your successes – though objectively impressive – don’t necessarily bring you the satisfaction or meaning you thought they would. You wonder if it is possible to be a high achiever, to feel fulfilled by your success, and to feel energized both during the workday and in the evenings and weekends.

MOTIVATED AF takes high-performers from relying on a burnout-inducing drive to achieve in their careers and lives, to a place of sustainable performance and fulfillment, without dialing back their ambitions for career success and a well-lived life.

You’ll be guided through a practical approach to realigning your inner drive, focusing on:

• the six human needs required for flourishing,
• identifying or refining your core operating principles (aka values),
• understanding your life’s Purpose,
• expanding your range of satisfaction-based motivators, and
• decreasing your reliance on avoidance-based motivators and overuse of executive function.

As you learn to fine tune your inner engine, your momentum becomes more energizing and perpetuating, and your accomplishments begin to feel more meaningful. And when you’ve fully shifted into a new way of operating, don’t be surprised if your ambitions actually increase.

This book is for relentless achievers who are ready to recalibrate their relationship to motivation in order to flourish at work and in life. Start transforming your inner drive today.
