PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: In the last 10 years brain researchers and psychologists have made some startling (and some not so startling) discoveries about motivation. For the most part our behavior is greatly influenced by our genetics and brain biochemistry. This gives us some really critical clues about how to motivate ourselves and others.
In addition, somewhere between 20% to 40% of the work force is dealing with serious mental illness issues. So we will spend about one-fifth of our time describing how these workers cope and how you can make their output even more productive.
