"Pink has a knack for teaching in such an entertaining way that you'll forget you are learning." -Lexi Feinberg, Forbes.com
 

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward as he introduces his latest book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.

Dan Pink is a leading author, former Vice Presidential Speechwriter and Wired contributor. Pink is known for his unique take on the business world and his irreverent views of management.


 

Pink writes frequently about business, technology, and pop culture. His articles, op-eds, and book reviews have appeared in dozens of national newspapers and magazines -- including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic, George, and Salon. Check out this video from the website TED .

He will discuss the mismatch between what science knows about human motivation and what organizations actually do to foster it in their people. He will delve into the secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Doors open at 8:00a the presentation begins at 8:30a. It promises to be a thought provoking and interesting morning. Those that register in advance (before 2/12) will receive the book “Drive” as part of their registration fee. (http://www.danpink.com/)
