Build Your Team - IT Certification Motivation // ft. Jeremy Cioara / Bart Castle (CBT Nuggets)

About this video

Filmed in Eugene, Oregon, at the CBT Nuggets headquarters during a week when the trainers gather, this short Monday Motivation video features trainers Jeremy Cioara and Bart Castle. Jeremy shares a lesson from the book The Speed of Trust, by Stephen Covey’s son as he describes it: before others can trust you, you have to trust yourself, and he had been undermining that by breaking commitments to himself. He now uses an iPhone app called Streaks to track commitments he makes to himself and honors them instead of, for example, saying he would do 50 pushups and then not feeling like it. He says this has built his confidence and set him up to commit to and achieve more goals, though he is still working out the balance between keeping commitments and not living under a rigid law. Bart’s message is to build a support network: write down the people who support you, tell them what you are doing, and get them involved, because they will help and raise you up — something he says his team is proving to him that week.
