This is a scaled back less conservative version of my motivation and leadership PowerPoint presentation. The focus was taken off of data mining / statistics and geared towards positive influence. The presentation was far less formal compared to what I would have manufactured for a business presentation. Many of he slides are also condensed rather than detailed and drawn out to fit the allotted presentation time.

13. One Bad Apple Spoils & Demotivates the Whole
Employee Bunch
Some people love to: create a destructive environment, be a pessimist, be overwhelmingly
critical, not share valuable information, stamp out hope & manufacture poor moral
Life & business requires that we interact with many different personalities and
situations so….How do we “Sweeten the Sour Fruit”:
1) Understand their motivation – Listen, learn & respond
2) Let your good behavior & positive outlook stand as an example (create positive motivation)
3) Don’t let anyone else affect the quality of your experiences (become numb to negativity)
If you are the “Sour Fruit”: 1) Admit the problem 2) Read motivational books and positive
literature 3) Surround yourself with positive things and people 4) Remember those positive things
and people 5) Work on making yourself more likeable 6) Live, Love, Laugh (Wolfgang Puck)…Laugh
a lot!
14. MOTIVATION MANAGEMENT
Highly motivated people step forward & get the job done. Motivation is the fuel for
performance. Three things that directly matter regarding motivation:
1) A STRONG BELIEF SYSTEM – You have to help people firmly believe in themselves as well
as you and the vision that is being set forth.
2) TRUST – This is HUGE! People have to trust you and you in return you have to trust your
people. Trust is earned over time, honesty and building a rapport.
3) REALIZATION – Remember that everyone is different. What may be satisfying to one
individual may not be satisfying to another.
