Maya Talks Motivation, Egypt


Abstract:

Entrepreneurial well-being revolves around the notion of leading a balanced life. Gone are the days where leaders, and enterprising individuals, have to give up their well-being for the bottom line. As a positive psychologist and sociologist, I will be sharing a framework that facilitates entrepreneurial well-being, cushioning the blows of what many term a rollercoaster ride: the highly uncertain nature of the world of entrepreneurship. More specifically, I’ll be introducing how self-determination theory, a macro-theory on motivation, can assist leaders in fanning the flame within, addressing their pecuniary needs, and lead a life with purpose.
