"Reflecting on Personal Motivation Immediacy in Leadership for Well-Being"

Motivational Immediacy is an expansive construct that is connected to both teaching and leadership. Each of these categories has inward-focused and outward-focused concerns. This presentation will focus on the inward (personal) side of the leadership domain. Motivational Immediacy in the Leadership-Inward domain can be described as the process of thinking of long-term goals and forcing oneself, as a habit, to connect each short-term action to that long-term goal in a way that mentally 'fuses' the means (short-term action) to the end (long-term goal). This purposeful act of reaching for, is an alternative to other mental habits such as reacting to, running from, and repeating of. Attendees will engage in dialogue centered on personal reflection of experiences during which they have engaged in each of the 'Four R's" above and how those experiences could be used as helpful tools to develop future Ml 'reaching-for' habits that promote mental health and well-being.
