MOTIVATING YOUR TEAM

 

 IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO MOTIVATE YOUR COLLEAGUES, EITHER BEING A STUDENT OR A TEACHER.

Be open about your own challenges

Sharing your own struggles with your team members will encourage them to open up about their own. This is not only a bonding experience for a team, but will give you insight into what support people need. One idea is to invite everyone to share a highlight and lowlight from their past week. If people are nervous to share, start with your own. What you’re doing is acknowledging that it’s OK not to feel OK all of the time.
