Not all pep-talks are created equal. 

• Personal - commonly referred to as self-motivation 
• Friends/Family - the people you care about most 
• Employees - you're accountable for their performance  
• Virtual - often delivered through text 
• Heat of the moment - person/team is in middle of task 
• Post-game - the time allocated to complete the task has past 
• Pre-game - tasks have yet to start
• Team - you're motivating a group
