I\u2019m publishing one podcast episode per day in the month of November 2020 as part of a challenge called NaPodPoMo.\xa0 It stands for National Podcast Post Month.\xa0 November is National Podcast Post Month, and the goal of the challenge is 30 podcast episodes in 30 days.\xa0 This is a bite-sized episode, which I\u2019m using to help promote my new online course:\xa0 Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro.
This episode is about motivation.\xa0 I have two teenaged sons.\xa0 It can be tough to motivate them, but I know what works.\xa0 My older son has autism and is motivated by car rides and going to the park.\xa0 If I say, \u201cPut your shoes and socks on, then we can drive to the park,\u201d he\u2019ll put his shoes and socks on all by himself FAST.\xa0 When I tell him we are going to speech therapy, it\u2019s a different story.\xa0 He\u2019s not as motivated. \xa0
My younger son is motivated by technology.\xa0 When\xa0he deserves a serious punishment, I take his phone away.\xa0 It doesn\u2019t happen often, but losing his phone really gets his attention.\xa0 He\u2019s motivated to behave because he wants his phone with him instead of being locked up with me!
What motivates you?\xa0 For some, it\u2019s avoiding something, like my younger son getting his phone taken away.\xa0 For others, it\u2019s gaining something, like my older son getting a ride to the park. \xa0
What motivates you to learn something?\xa0 In this episode, I ask, \u201cWhat is there to gain?\u201d And, \u201cWould you be motivated to avoid something?\u201d Pronouncing drug names can be hard.\xa0 My online course Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro teaches brand and generic drug name pronunciations.\xa0 The focus is on US Adopted Names.\xa0 Learning how to say drug names correctly can improve safety and save time, plus help you feel confident, avoid criticism, earn trust, and feel less frustrated.
