Why map your motivation?

Do you know what truly motivates you or your team?

As a leader, knowing what is motivating and working out how to increase that motivation for yourself or your team becomes easier through our mapping process.

The benefits of Motivational Maps include;

• Improved sense of purpose.
• Enhanced self-awareness.
• Better performance and productivity.
  
• Better decision making.
  

Maps provide the language for important conversations which allow an understanding of your motivations to emerge, and our work with you helps you expand those deeper insights and develop an accountable action plan for you to take ownership of your motivation. 

When aligned, motivation is the power in a good team.

When misaligned, motivation is a storm.

The Maps are derived from a questionnaire that accesses three clusters of motivation:  relationships, achievements, and growth. Your map will show you where your core motivators are and how satisfied you are in each source.  Armed with this information you can define actionable improvements. 

For the individual 

Motivational maps reveal what motivates an individual and how motivated they are in their role. This new self-awareness helps them explore the root causes and adopt practical solutions for change.  It is common for us to use the maps with our coaching clients as part of their coaching programme. However, anyone can contact us to buy a motivational map and an hour 1:1 with one of our Motivational Map Practitioners. 

For the team 

Building on personal insight gained, the team map brings awareness of common motivators to improve group dynamics and achievement of common goals. It reveals gaps and conflict within the group, which can then be addressed constructively. We use our expertise in organisational change, team performance and facilitation to create engaging, fun and insightful team workshops with our clients. All our group sessions differ, depending on the needs of our clients, so if you are interested, then get in touch and we can talk through some approaches to suit you.

Leadership Development

To be a really great leader you need to understand yourself and your motivations. When we undertake coaching with leaders, work with them on personal development or support them through change in their organisations, Motivational Maps are useful in beginning the change conversation.

Gaining insight into your personal motivation and the motivation of the people around you provides important clarity and can help you to understand the "why" behind both your own and their behaviour.
