Motivideos: To Use In Your Meetings

MOTIVIDEOS

By Cari Kraft, Jacobs Management Group

There is a concept that none of us really knows the struggles others are wrestling with — just as they don’t know ours. One of the purposes of our Motivideos feature is to help you start your morning meeting with something thoughtful, something that will help your team get through the day with optimism, purpose — and a curiosity about what’s going on in the minds of others — through teamwork, leadership, purpose, and utlizing failure.

HAPPINESS VS. JOY There is something in this short video for everyone. An interesting perspective to have when designing a motivation strategy for your team. Clips to use in a motivational meeting. Or, a different type of insight for developing your strategy.

Resilience in the Face of Failure Thomas Edison once said about inventing the light bulb “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 500 ways that didn’t work.” Amazon founder Jeff Bezos talks here about his “billions of dollars of failures” — but none of those deterred him from getting up and going forward. It is important to remind our team that our failures can be the greatest teachers on how to practice resilience and find success. Saving Patient Lives A reminder of why we work in this field. Because of the advances we make as an industry, people’s lives are lengthened, strengthened, and saved. Listen to some personal stories of patients who survive because of what we do.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work We can all do more when we work together. Show your team how removing the “me” and thinking of “we,” how much more we can achieve. How much more we can do for our organization, or clients, and our patients.

Submissions are welcome. If you have one you like, email a link to me at ckraft@jacobsmgt.com.
