Course Description
What motivates you to go to work in the morning? Are you focused on getting through the workday, or do you want to achieve something new? Think about your different motivators, like earning power, making strong social connections, or working for your own satisfaction. Which is the most inspiring for you? Your response can reveal how you approach work and define success. There are no wrong answers since we can all learn from each other’s work styles.
