Workshop Synopsis (Abstract)

For people who have been in the workforce long enough to find their motivation and passion degraded, it is hard sometimes to regain the momentum and drive to push for the next peak. The mid-career crisis is as real as the mental changes experienced by the teens. Most people just settle for whatever they have achieved, make do with whatever they have and swallow the pills of unrealised potential. The fear of living an unfulfilled life, unbearable boredom of a 9-5 job, and the inner voice of ‘I deserve more than this’ seem like an unsettled inner child who is trying to convey the subtle objection to her parents. The more the parent ignores, the more the inner child rebels. Unfortunately, following the inner child’s voice is not an easy option either. The insecurity of changing the status quo, the unclear vision of the path, and the lack of motivation for change are the causes of holding back for most people living in the crisis. The perpetual conflict is annoying at times. It may spiral into a depression for some people if not approaching it correctly. Fortunately, modern psychology has an excellent solution for those who want to not just free themselves from the inner conflict but to reclaim the potent drive to scale their next peaks.

If you are the person with the nagging inner voice for achieving more because you feel you deserve more and you want more, this talk will open your mind to the new possibilities available to you. If you are willing to play a long-term game for creating a successful career and living a fulfilling life, this talk is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge to start your journey. Drawing on the research findings of the self-determinant theory (SDT) of human motivation and personal experience from deploying the theoretical concepts, the speaker will discuss how autonomy, mastery and connectedness drive human actions from evolutionary perspectives to fulfil the basic human psychological needs. The speaker will also relate the concepts to the core of the teachings of Tony Robbins, a renowned contemporary success coach and the motivation framework proposed by Daniel Pink, an American author in his famous book entitled: Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.
