John R. Miles
About this episode

I welcome Stefan Falk to Passion Struck, who is a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life. We explore his new book Intrinsic Motivation: Learn to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before.

Stefan Falk discusses why intrinsic motivation is vital to success

Stefan Falk and I discuss why to achieve productivity and positivity in both personal and professional life, it's important to have a sense of control, an understanding of current events and future prospects, and a strong and supportive social network. The need for connection and trust has become even more crucial with the rise of remote work. However, many of us struggle to meet these needs effectively and instead resort to unhelpful coping strategies. The key to success is to develop intrinsic motivation by focusing on activities that align with our career and life goals, rejecting a competitive mentality, finding joy in our work, and doing it well.
