Discover the real sources of lasting motivation for yourself and others. Master simple ways to spot and align with what naturally inspires engagement, energy, and top performance in any team.
Overview
Most people treat motivation like a dial: turn it up and people work harder, turn it down and they coast. That’s not how it works. Steven Reiss’s research into human motivation identified sixteen distinct desires that drive behaviour, and every person carries a different mix.
This session explores five workplace-relevant drivers: Achiever, Competitor, Connector, Autonomy and Steady. Participants discover what drives them and learn why the same task, reward or feedback can motivate one person but miss the mark with another.
Learning Objectives
Reframe motivation as a question of what drives someone, not how much drive they have
