motivational poster

Office wall inspiration

A motivational poster is a framed image—typically a dramatic photograph—paired with an inspirational word and caption, designed to encourage positive attitudes in workplaces or schools.

The format became so ubiquitous and earnest that it spawned parody "demotivational" posters with cynical or absurd messages.

The break room had a motivational poster of an eagle soaring above the word EXCELLENCE.
