Today's show is a solo episode where I nerd out on the concept of motivation. When motivation is framed up as some fleeting emotion that is hard to capture, it can be extremely difficult to maintain. So today I re-frame motivation as momentum and talk about how you can leverage accountability to maintain momentum and motivation. Enjoy!

The answers we seek are in the questions that we ask ourselves. However, that wisdom is confusing as hell! That's why this episode we are chatting with an expert on questions, Jon Berghoff. Jon is the co-founder and President of the Flourishing Leadership Institute (FLI), where he and his team design and facilitate organizational change efforts. They've done this for organizations such as the UN, Vitamix, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, McKinsey, Sherwin Williams, Verizon, Cleveland Clinic, and the U.S. Navy, just to name a few. Jon previously served as the head of sales for the direct sales team at Vitamix Corporation, where revenue grew by 400% in less than 4 years, as their team grew from 175 to over 600 members. Jon also serves on the Board for the Front Row Foundation, a wish organization that helps individuals who are braving a critical health challenge to experience the event of their dreams (concert, sporting event, theater, etc.)... from the Front Row. In this episode, we explore the power of questions, a concept called Appreciative Inquiry, the actual questions we can ask ourselves, and much more!
