A Forum Retreat is a blend of ‘me-time’ and ‘we-time’ where forum buddies get away from work and family to spend time with each other in an idyllic environment. As per the forum constitution, each forum must have a retreat per year of not less than 2 nights, preferably out of the country. The CC2 Forum of Corporate Connections UAE decided to visit Turkey this year.
Motivation vs Manipulation was the title of the session presented by the global training firm Hansen Beck's regional director Barbara Lebar. Getting people to achieve goals starts by presenting positive motivations that appeal to the person. However, when positive motivations are not sufficient, the trainer advocates the use of negative levers to achieve the objectives of the company. Positive levers aim at creating excitement around personal gains that would motivate to cooperate, collaborate and participate. It operates on the principle of pleasure. Negative levers focus on the dire consequences when goals are not achieved. It operates on the principle of pain. The judicious use of positive and negative levers can bring the desired change provided the overriding premise is a win-win for both parties. In just 30 minutes, the trainer gave the members a very insightful perspective on human behaviour which was further supplemented with cards that members took home as reminders.
