I recently had to cancel a workshop on Motivation because only five people had registered.
The organizer asked, “How do you motivate people who are basically unmotivated, to attend a workshop on Motivation?” An excellent question! One, however, that is fairly easy to answer.
To successfully motivate a person, the goal must be worthy of the effort required to achieve it. What people tend to forget, however, is that the ultimate goal may only be achieved by first defining many smaller goals along the way which are more readily achievable.
So what does it say about those that are “unmotivated?”
I would suggest that it says nothing more than the fact that some people have simply stopped setting goals. Or perhaps it simply says that people have forgotten that the whole is simply a sum of all of its parts.
To maintain the level of motivation required to continue looking for work, especially in this economy, people must define and pursue goals
