How to make a Younkers training video

Step 1: Repeat play intro to this song.

Eye of the Tiger: Classic motivator

Step 2: Add in images of people joyfully shopping at Younkers.  

"OMG, shopping at Younkers is like the bestest thing ever!"-quote, These People

Step 3:  Add quotes from notable individuals.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.
Ghandi

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
Arthur C. Clarke

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

 "Yes, we realize that these quotes have little to do with working at Younkers, but just roll with us here."-quote, Younkers corporate peeps

Step 4: Successfully motivate employees to sell stuff to customers!

Note from me:  I know it might seem like all of this is heavily exaggerated, but I promise it's not.  That Ghandi quote was seriously in the video and all I could think was "Is this for real?!  This is going to make for fantastic blogging."  It was like every classically bad motivational video you've ever seen parodied on TV, but now it was real life.  A bit unsettling that no one above me seemed to realize how comical this was.

  1. Am so glad I don't have to watch a make believe motivational video about MY job.
    It would make for alot of giggling and snickering. Only good for moral I think. Laughing is good for the soul.
