Everything we do starts with motivation. The ability to be motivated at work and to stay motivated, even when we have setbacks is a very important skill. It’s not always easy to be motivated, in life and at work. In this course, we’ll explore tools you can use to help you stay motivated.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this course. We’ll:

• explore why motivation is important and what it means to us
• learn how to get motivated by connecting our values to our goals
• look at strategies for staying motivated when challenges come our way

The Motivation course is part of the UP Skills for Work program which helps you build skills for learning, work, and life.
