• 00:15:00 In this short video, Alfonso Alcantara explains how to motivate employees in 10 minutes. He differentiates between the mood and motivation, saying that you are very sad if you have slumped down posture and are depressed. To improve your mood, we need to move at a slow pace and jump very quickly - 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 palms. 9, 10, 11, 12, jump, many thanks. Motivation is not giving emotions, emotions fluctuate. It is very easy to motivate ourselves but it is very difficult to motivate ourselves because we need context. We need an objective, some motivation sources, and a mood that can be managed with exercise, with activity, but motivation requires a planning and a lot of care.
