Course Description
Did you know that 69% of employees would be motivated to work harder if they felt their efforts were better appreciated?
And if that doesn’t make employee recognition seem important enough, consider this:
- When managers recognize employee contributions, engagement increases by 60%
- Highly engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave an organization
- Teams with high employee engagement rates are 21% more productive
- Engaged companies grow profits as much as 3X faster than their competitors
Surprising statistics, don’t you think?
All from taking a little extra time to appreciate your team's efforts.
So the question then becomes …
Are you doing everything in your power to motivate your team and keep them engaged?
Because here’s the reality …
If you don’t have the tools you need or an effective strategy in place to engage team members and keep them motivated, you’re effectively putting obstacles in the way of achieving your business goals and objectives.
Among many other benefits, highly motivated teams:
- Are more productive
- Communicate better
- Make more money
- Spark innovation
- Drive engagement
There’s no denying it ...
When your team is well motivated, you’ll be able to hit your business goals faster and more easily.

this is like a crash course. he goes through the points so fast, you can't take notes or remember the last thing he said. This is like a never-ending run-on sentence.

I agree with the different communication skills between managers and employees should be able to show appreciation and that they value one another

I learned that in a meeting it requires preparation, and active facilitation. The meeting should start and end on time. And limit the discussion that is out of the topic.
By Blaine Rinell on 4/7/2026
I enjoyed the speaker and how he walked through the different things that I was actually thinking about on the top of my mind.

This course is very important and because it deals with different steps in motivating people. Proper motivation leads to clear understanding, productivity and loyal and conscientious employees.
By Cheryl M. Pitts on 2/18/2026
Yes, this is a good match because I am a team lead and need to keep the team on tasks and meet deadlines and report back to management where the team is. Keeping folks motivated can be a challenge and also with meetings keeping them on track and to the point is sometimes challenging.

Course is very well laid out, succinct, and covers the highlights. Instructor makes the concepts easy to grasp. Will recommend this to others.
By Mona Toscano on 1/12/2026
I am not in a Management roll but I am in a senior position in the department. This course was helpful to me because from time to time I do have to present things to the team that can impact their processes. It is helpful to have tools to present or address things that can affect others.
By Jennifer Stevens on 1/4/2026
I think this course is very helpful for increasing my insight into prior experiences with poor communication and meetings without a true goal, leading to demotivation of myself and my colleagues.
