YOUR MOTIVATION
Understand what motivates you and how motivated you are
Then with me learn how to use that information in a way that works for you. When you are ready, add the energy from the why to make the how happen.
Motivation is like taking a bath which is why I recommend you take it daily. What motivates us and our levels of motivation are ever changing.
What if you could truly understand what motivates you and how motivated you are, then be given the strategies to improve, maintain and use your motivations in a way that serves you in your business and in your career.
Motivational Mapping is an incredible tool designed to fire up your energy and help you understand how to get the best from you and your team and enjoy what you do on the way.
What are motivational maps?
As with our purpose in life, I do not ‘invent’ motivations; instead, I detect them. The Motivational Map is not a personality test, or a psychometric profiling tool, it is a self-perception inventory.
The Motivational Map is based on three clusters of motivation:
- Relationships
- Achievement
- Growth
What would you like to understand about yourself or indeed your team?
Learn what truly motivates you, how to ensure the team around you can be at their best and the strategies that will ensure a happy harmonious workplace. The guide below will get you started, but if you really want to understand the process, the results and benefits you can expect please get in touch. Generally speaking I start working on individual maps before I move to include team or organisational maps.

YOUR MOTIVATION FAQ’S
Why as a Manager would I need Motivational Maps? →
- The biggest consideration for managers is their people. People’s needs and motivations change. Understanding these needs and changing motivations has been a problem for managers forever, and significantly more so in the fast-changing environment we work in today.
- To nurture high-performing motivated teams, some will recommend taking each employee out for a meal and spending a couple of hours discussing what they need from their work. While this is a great idea, this approach relies on consciously being aware of their emotional needs, how to satisfy them and, crucially, being comfortable saying that to their boss.
- Motivational Maps take a very different approach. Users will feel more comfortable completing a 10- minute questionnaire and seeing the results for themselves. Informed with this information, they are well equipped for an engaging open discussion about what they want from their work, what’s working well and what’s not. The profile also provides insights into team dynamics and career preferences.
Motivational Maps over personality profiles? →
- Personality profiles provide that initial overview, a way for people to ‘see’ themselves and their behaviour through others’ eyes.
- We can build on this picture with the motivators, to reveal values and beliefs.
- For someone who’s done personality profiles before, or if there’s only budget/ appetite for one profile, think Motivational Maps. They enable the client and I to make sense of their feelings, to get straight to the heart of the matter. People tend to enjoy the non-judgemental coaching conversation, and it builds trust really quickly. This means you can quickly identify several areas for coaching, e.g. increasing motivation, areas of disengagement, and the motivators reflect their values and beliefs which are great coaching areas too – especially when these are misaligned with their role or goal.
- Maps are also really effective as within teams, describing what motivates themselves to their colleagues and how that influences their work.
- Unlike personality profiles, Maps can be repeated regularly. Normally, not more than twice a year, unless the person is going through a big change – e.g. from interview candidate to 3-month probationary review.
And the Team and Organisational Maps build up a picture of the dynamics inside the team, as well as identifying ideal reward strategies and what makes a strong cohesive team.
How much does Motivational Mapping cost? →
