A Very Unique Motivational Background

Michael’s unique adventure challenge background gives his workshops a highly entertaining and interactive approach!

His motivational background is particularly unique because of the extraordinary adventures he undertook to demonstrate resilience, creativity, and resourcefulness. One of his most notable achievements was his project, “How to Travel the World for Free.” For this challenge, Wigge set out to travel the globe without spending any money, relying entirely on his wits, the generosity of others, and his ability to adapt to any situation. He traveled across multiple countries, using creative strategies to secure food, shelter, and transportation—all while learning life lessons about human connections and the power of persistence.

In addition to this, Wigge is known for his daring journey of traveling from Berlin to the United States without a single penny in his pocket, a feat that required immense problem-solving and ingenuity. These experiences set him apart as a trainer, as they provide real-world examples of overcoming adversity, staying motivated in the face of uncertainty, and turning challenges into opportunities. Michael’s adventures are not just about overcoming physical obstacles, but also about cultivating an innovative mindset that inspires others to think beyond traditional limits and achieve their own extraordinary goals.

8 Keys of Our Motivational Employee Seminars & Workshops

1. Michael’s Adventure Keynote

2. Breakout Sessions and One-on-One Coaching Sequences

Motivational training often includes breakout sessions and one-on-one coaching sequences, providing participants with personalized attention and support. Our breakout sessions offer a platform for focused learning, where attendees can explore specific areas of interest and engage in interactive exercises. Additionally, one-on-one coaching sequences allow participants to receive individualized guidance, identify personal strengths and weaknesses, and develop actionable strategies to unlock their full potential.

3. Group Discussions and Knowledge Exchange

Group discussions are integral to the motivational seminar experience, fostering collaboration, shared learning, and the exchange of ideas. These sessions enable participants to engage in open dialogue, share their challenges and successes, and gain insights from the experiences of others. By building a supportive community, attendees can find motivation and encouragement through collective wisdom, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

4. Motivational Employee Workshops: Tools & Methods

Our workshops leverage various tools and methods to empower participants in their journey towards success. The SCARF model – as one of many models in our training programs – stands for Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness. It helps individuals understand and address the social factors that influence their motivation.

The SMART model (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) assists in setting clear and achievable goals, promoting focused action and progress. These tools, along with improved goal-setting techniques, time management strategies, and the elimination of time-wasters and procrastination, create a solid foundation for sustained motivation and productivity.

5. Improving Resilience and Embracing Change

Motivation is closely linked to resilience and the ability to adapt to change. Motivational seminars emphasize the development of the seven pillars of resilience, including self-awareness, mindfulness, optimism, purpose, perseverance, emotional regulation, and social support. These pillars provide individuals with the mental and emotional strength to navigate challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and maintain motivation in the face of adversity. Furthermore, participants learn about the seven phases of change management, enabling them to embrace and leverage change as an opportunity for growth and motivation.

6. Lowering Stress, Constructive Feedback, and Transparency

To sustain motivation, it is crucial to address stress and create an environment that fosters trust, growth, and constructive feedback. Our motivational courses offer practical techniques to manage stress effectively, such as mindfulness practices, time management strategies, and self-care routines. They also emphasize the importance of providing and receiving constructive feedback as a means of personal and professional growth. Additionally, cultivating transparency in the workplace fosters a sense of empowerment, engagement, and motivation among team members.

7. Finding Passion & Joy with Our Motivational Seminars

Our employee motivational seminars and workshops recognize the significance of finding passion and joy in one’s pursuits. These events encourage individuals to explore their interests, align their work with their values, and cultivate a sense of purpose. By tapping into their passions, attendees can unlock intrinsic motivation, leading to greater satisfaction, fulfillment, and sustainable success.

8. Our Advice for the Motivational Workshops & Seminars

For organizations, leadership validation plays a crucial role in team motivation. When leaders actively participate in motivational seminars and workshops, they set a powerful example and demonstrate their commitment to personal and professional growth. By endorsing and encouraging the participation of their teams, leaders foster a culture of motivation, engagement, and continuous improvement.
