However, statistics show that year after year, mishandling a client’s money is among the most frequent sources of investigation and disciplinary action by the ARDC.

    Ring in the New Year with Intrinsic Motivation to Make Your Resolutions Stick

    As we welcome the new year, many of us will identify resolutions and other goals we want to accomplish in the coming months.  Unfortunately, studies suggest that a huge majority of people—up to 80% will give up on them by the end of February, with only an estimated 8% sticking to their resolutions throughout the whole year.

    Join us in this interactive workshop, where we will explore strategies and techniques to leverage intrinsic motivation to better accomplish our personal and professional goals, and help us break through any procrastination that has been holding us back from getting through our to-do lists. 

    During this program, attendees will:
    -Learn about three different types of internal motivators and how each one can help spur us to action (or break down the barriers that cause inaction);
    -Gain a better understanding of the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, their impact on productivity, and how they can be harmonized; and
    -Practice evidence-based techniques to apply these strategies to a resolution or goal that they are working through (or would like to start working on)
