Strengthening Relationships: "The Motivation Multiplier"

"The Motivation Multiplier," presented by Dr. Sarah Porter on November 19, 2026 from noon to 1 p.m. If you've ever wondered why some teams seem energized, engaged, and eager to contribute while others struggle to gain traction, this session is for you. Grounded in psychological science, this presentation explores how workplace interactions shape motivation and performance, with a particular focus on the role people leaders play in creating the right conditions. Participants will learn to cultivate what Dr. Porter calls the 3 Cs of motivation – choice, competence, and connection – using practical strategies that help people feel valued and inspired to bring their best selves to work. While the principles apply to any workplace relationship, this session is especially relevant for managers, supervisors, and anyone responsible for team performance. Sign up via UT Learn
