Least favorite of my Illumeo courses thus far. Perhaps too much theory crammed into one hour with no practical examples or application discussed.

This session allowed me to reflect upon my own management style and how I approach my colleagues in relation to motivations.

Discussion of all the names of theories was irrelevant. It was hard to follow the discussion and what was important.

While the information was good, it was very tedious to listen to because there were very few real life examples?
