The science is clear, you don't instill motivation in people, you ACTIVATE it! Learn what it takes to energize and inspire people toward greater focus, engagement, and passion in their work.

Roughly 65% of the workforce is underperforming and disengaged resulting in poor work quality. Disengagement also leads to high turnover rates, injuries, lawsuits, and low morale that extends to people outside of your organization and repels talent.

Using the latest behavioral and neuroscience research, Dr. Jones teaches leaders that motivation, engagement, and high-performance doesn't come from large, generic engagement programs. Instead, motivation and engagement are driven by a unique interaction between the employee and the leader.

Dr. Jones calls this unique interaction and process, "ACTIVATION." The activation concept is built on brain research that reveals how leaders can "light-up" an employee's brain as it activates 14 regions responsible for reasoning, processing, creativity, analysis, emotional intelligence, and impulse control among many others.

Through a proven set of principles and techniques, any leader can learn to lead at a higher level and activate the potential of their people to be and do their best in work and life.
