In 1910, over 3 million acres of the Rocky Mountains went up in flames — the largest wildfire in U.S. history. Entire towns were reduced to ash. When the Great Fire was finally extinguished, the U.S. Forest Service made a solemn vow: “Never again.”
They built thousands of lookout towers and deployed an army of rangers to stamp out every spark. Ecologists hailed it as a tremendous success.
Then they saw the sequoias.
Sequoias are the largest organisms on Earth, living up to 3,000 years. But by the 1950s, these ancient giants were dying out.
Why? Because fire wasn’t destroying them — it was saving them. Fire cleared the soil and opened their pinecones, allowing them to grow. Without fire, they withered.

In Thinking, Fast and Slow, the late psychologist and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman described how our brains process information in two distinct ways:
Both are essential, but different situations require one, the other, or a mix of both.
Motivation works the same way.
Like thinking, motivation can be Fast or Slow — and just as with thinking, different challenges call for different types.
The Problem with Fast Motivation
What happens when a situation demands Slow motivation, but all we rely on is Fast motivation?
Take fitness. Every January, millions join a gym. By mid-February, instead of losing weight, they’ve lost their ability to keep going.
Or consider leadership. Companies bring in high-energy keynote speakers — Olympic athletes! Navy SEALs! — only to find that six weeks later, everyone is back in the same rut.
The issue isn’t that Fast motivation doesn’t work. It’s a powerful way to ignite change. But without Slow motivation, the spark begins to fade.
The Solution: Mastering Slow Motivation
In this eye-opening session, you’ll take a deep dive into the mechanics of Slow motivation, including:
Once the framework is clear, you’ll learn how to apply Slow motivation to real-world leadership challenges, including:
