Is it confidence before motivation or motivation first ?

Both are needed to help people get back into work and we learn the skills to do this, simple but effective. One of my favourite training sessions in seeing how people can leave a training morning feeling the confidence to be motivated or motivated to build confidence. It does not matter which way, its the outcome that people leave feeling positive and preparing themselves to go back into work.

With some small steps, you can get started down the road to positive change.

Things to help stay motivated

Make goals- sensible ones and achievable
Find inspirations- family, friends, colleagues, mentors who ever will help you on your journey
Feel good about reaching your goals
Set a date it does not have to be the next day there maybe some planning involved
Tell people
Commit to it
Write it on the fridge so you will see it everyday
Remember there will be ups and downs that is normal and OK
Build on your success

Identify what are key motivators and demotivates that will impact on at work:

Do you need support?
Opportunities?
Further training?
