Hi there,
I found your article on motivation via Google but with an interesting twist: I was looking for motivation for hearing-impaired people in the business.

So, how about offering a text-based article (similar to your podcast) for your hearing-impaired readers?

Remember, there ARE a lot of deaf people out there trying to make a mark in their jobs, in their respective business sector. But with no proper means of documentation for motivating hearing-impaired or blind people for that matter, you will not get much search hits results?

Regards,
Thys

I am a Griffith University student from Brisbane, QLD, Australia and would like to thank-you for your great pod cast. I was drawn to your site because for one of my classes I have to explore: “The notion that teachers have to foster and employ either intrinsic motivation or extrinsic motivation is a false dilemma. It is not a question of either/or, it is a question of emphasis.” what are your thoughts?

Extrinsic motivation involves the application of rewards to encourage an individual to persist in an activity, which is not in itself rewarding or interesting to them. Therefore, I do agree that in a ‘perfect world’ people should be intrinsically motivated. What has been brought to my attention is the fact that people need money in this world to live. People need ‘food on their table’ (so to speak) therefore ‘pay day’ (being an extrinsic motivation technique) is a necessity that cannot be avoided. What are your thoughts here?

You also discussed celebrating results. But if an employee knew that they were going to get a celebration for their results wouldn’t this be extrinsic motivation?

Thanks again – I agree that there should be some visuals to cater for both aural and visual learners.

Split your podcast into two contrasting segments/subjects with a break in between on a third subject: intro is 2 min; segment 1 is 10 mins; segment 2 is 5 mins; segment 3 – 10 minutes; wrapup – 3 mins

Excellent podcast! Very good content. You distilled a lot of theory (e.g. extrinsic/intrinsic) into a quite digestible program.
Keep em coming!

Terry
