Taking Control of Your Motivation to Improve Academic Wellbeing & Performance

Dr Michael Edmonds

Motivation plays an important role in our wellbeing and success. In this presentation Michael will describe various evidence based techniques that can be used to maintain and enhance our motivation, techniques that may be very useful during the more challenging periods in postgraduate study. The techniques are based on research Michael carried out as part of his Masters degree in Psychology in 2022 and his 20 years of experience in tertiary education.
