Rowena and Shelley delve into the insightful book "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" by Daniel Pink, one of Shelley’s favourite books!
Shelley reflects on how the book's message about motivation, centred on autonomy, mastery, and purpose, has left a lasting impact since its publication in 2009.
Together, Rowena and Shelley then explore the relevance of these concepts in the modern world, especially in the context of our professional and personal lives.
Join them as they uncover the profound implications of autonomy, mastery, and purpose and discover how these ideas can revitalise our respective approaches to work, parenting, relationships, and leisure activities. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion about the true drivers of motivation!
