Motivation Exercise

Motivation exercise

Work through the factors below, and rate each one in terms of how important they are to you. We would recommend you use a scale of 1 – 4 (1 being low, 4 being high). It is important to also spend time considering your current satisfaction level for each factor. Use the same scale to record your thoughts, and note down any comments related to the rating you have given the factor for current satisfaction. It is important to record at this stage any thoughts on how you could increase the current satisfaction level if you have recorded a low score here, and it has a high score for importance.

"The Team Building Day which Infinite You ran for our group was an extremely enjoyable experience for our volunteers who found the various exercises instructive and useful. The outcome from this excellent training day was very positive and thanks to Infinite You our members achieved a better understanding of their roles, responsibilities and their individual strengths"
