Power Up: Unlocking Motivation 

• Do you need some new strategies to keep your team energy and engagement up?
• Do you find some team members easier to motivate than others and wonder what more you can do?
• Have you some highly skilled team members who just lack energy and oomph – that spark of engagement?
• Are you ready to kick off a new chapter with a team focus on lifting motivation through a strengths lens?

Just imagine… if you could buy motivation in a bottle and have it in your leader’s tool kit? How amazing would that be and who would you give it to first?

Motivation is a fundamental element of our interaction with the world and each other. Understanding motivation is seen as particularly important in organisations since motivation often leads to higher productivity and performance and lower turnover.

But the tricky thing can be to know how you motivate yourself and those you lead?

Motivation can be defined as —

‘The energising of behaviour in pursuit of a goal’ (Simpson & Balsam, 2016).

In this Power-Up: Unlocking Motivation session, we give you the tools, time and strategies to lift motivation for the individuals in your team. We draw on the fascinating world of neuroscience and a brain-based background to motivation. We couple this with a Matrix to identify where each of your team members is currently and specific coaching techniques appropriate for those in the differing four domains. You will have an opportunity to take your strengths and explore how they are the driver for intrinsic motivation and how to build a strengths driven focus and appreciation across your team.

Discover ways that you may be adding to disengagement –  at times leaders are the problem and they may be completely unaware of how they are demotivating a team member.

We leave you with a simple tool to kick-off and capture your team’s strengths so that you have a visual to consistently-  help your recall and focus to spark motivation.

When you set sail after the session – you will have a clear research-backed strategy to embark on powering up your team… and you!
