The Trackster

The Trackster is online software that helps Personal Trainers communicate with and motivate their clients.

I’ve already mentioned on this blog that I’m a big fan of inspirational quotes, and I’m also really interested in learning how to motivate myself.

When researching and doing some reading a name that popped up a bit was Dan Pink.  He has written a book called Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.  I have ordered the book online and can’t wait to read it, but I’ve listened to a few interviews he has done and also a few videos of him online which are fantastic.

This first video is called “The two questions that can change your life”.  It’s only 2 minutes long and worth watching.

Two questions that can change your life from Daniel Pink on Vimeo.

The second video is a little longer at 19 minutes of a presentation Dan did at a TED conference.

Just as a sidenote the TED website is a fantastic resource of high quality motivating presentations.

I’m fascinated that a 2 minute video like the one above can be so motivating and inspiring to people.  I know it has got me thinking about what my sentence would be, and already today I know that I can answer yes to the second question, because I’ve been thinking about it all day.

Personal Trainers are at the coal face of motivation and motivating people.  I’d love to hear what motivates you and what’s the most effective thing you’ve done to motivate your clients.  Leave a comment below and let us know.
