Self Motivation (online)
The main goal of the presented module is to explain the issue of self-motivation, to describe individual approaches and possibilities of motivation of oneself and the people around. This topic is gaining in importance especially now, at a time when it brings a lot of uncertainty and at the same time puts pressure on one to take more responsibility for one's life and motivation. A necessary prerequisite for effective self-motivation is first and foremost knowledge of yourself, your personal motivators (internal, external or a combination of internal and external) and their changes. This topic is closely related to the knowledge of our own limits and what and how we can realize ourselves. The self-motivation module is intertwined with the topic of personal development and work-life balance in order to achieve a balanced and long-term effective functioning of a person in work and personal life.
