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.

"We have worked with Joanne for many years to provide crucial training for staff in a variety of our management/supervisor roles. Joanne is warm, friendly, and engaging and she takes a lot of time to gain an understanding of the delegate personalities and traits. Joanne immediately gains the trust and respect of anyone who attends her training programmes and has the ability to make employees very self-aware of how they conduct themselves, not only in the workplace but in their behaviours, choices and interactions. Over the years we have seen some dramatic changes in peoples performance and attitude on the back of their time with Joanne"
