Remotivation - The Remote...

Sarah Aviram

Remotivation is a vital guide to help you thrive at work and beyond - no matter where you're located! 
The book is designed to help you create your own version of success by showing you how to activate 6 key motivations to work: money, identity, routines, growth, impact, and joy. 
Sarah Aviram worked remotely as a Human Resources leader from 12 different countries in 12 months while researching the future of work - from co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto. 
Many remote workers she met and interviewed, thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from the beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled. 
Aviram realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself. 
Through fun inspirational stories, research, and her HR expertise, Aviram shows you how to tackle challenges that might be getting in the way of your fulfillment like the pressure of others’ expectations, the guilt you have about what you “should” be doing, and inertia of routines that don’t support your goals. You’ll also be empowered with the tools you need to create more opportunities for impact, tactics to develop new skills, and ways to do more work you enjoy – whether from the office, your home, or the beach!
