I'd like to offer support to a friend struggling with motivation. Any thoughts?
user
I'd like to hear more about your friend's situation and their interests, to get a sense of what might help them.  Could you give me more details about what's happening, and what they're struggling with?  Let's start with what has been going well.
assistant
They are looking for a better job, but feel unmotivated.
user
It sounds like they are interested in something that could motivate them. What does their job currently involve?
assistant
Mostly computer work, but she notices that men are paid more for the same work, and she's considering continuing working with that group, or working with fairer employers.
user
Alright, so she's thinking about what is a more just environment to work in.  Do you have a sense of what she finds challenging about this?  It sounds like she is at a crossroads in her career, and probably wants to understand what sort of work would be a good fit for her.
assistant
Yes. Also gender and race equity in pay, is something that is an uphill battle, to get addressed and adjusted, when it should just be the norm.
user
It seems like she's considering some kind of change in her career and environment, but the challenge is being specific. Does she want a better future? Do you think she's committed to that?

I think this is a great lead for where you might suggest some activities that could help her feel like she's moving towards a better situation, and making a difference in the world.
