Episode 280 Unhelpful Motivations: What's Really Driving You

This week on the People Centric Podcast, we talk about unhelpful motivations and the ways they can quietly shape how we work. Not every motivation leads to healthy outcomes. Sometimes the very thing driving us is also the thing holding us back. In this episode, we explore what unhelpful motivations are, how to identify them, and how they can affect our choices, relationships, and effectiveness at work. Whether you are a frontline employee, a manager, or an executive, this conversation offers practical insight into understanding what is really driving behavior and what to do when that motivation is no longer helping.
