How To Motivate Through Self-Respect And Trust

Welcome to my book about how to motivate through self-respect and trust throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.

WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

"Respect is the greatest motivator" (Carmel O'Reilly).

I've always believed that respect is the greatest gift you can give to another human being, and to yourself. I'm not actually sure if I did coin the phase 'Respect is the greatest motivator', but it is something that I strive to live my WorkLife by. It's perhaps my most important value. Because it directly links to my self-trust and drives my self-motivation in doing what I want and need to do in my WorkLife.

In this book I tell two stories:

1. Losing His Self- Respect and Losing Trust in Himself: Dom's story of how he had lost himself on a human level, and how by taking himself away from what he was doing, he eventually got back to who he truly was, and wanted to be.

2. HowHerSelf-Respect,Self-Trust and Motivation was Restored When She Lost Everything She had Built with the Support of Her Team and Family: Niamh's story of how overnight she lost everything that she had worked for, and how through the support of her team she managed to pick herself up again.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:

Taking Yourself Away Assignment

This assignment is to help you to recognise and take ownership of what's great about you that other people see in you, and to build on this to motivate yourself through self-respect and self-trust.
