Map your motivators and commit to one change.
A practical personal exercise where participants map their motivators, identify their current gaps, and commit to one specific change.
Your Motivation Map closes the session by giving each participant a tangible personal output. Each person captures what drives them specifically, where those needs are currently being met or frustrated, and what one change they are going to make. It is designed to be something participants return to, not a worksheet they forget by the following week.
Each participant leaves with a clear, personal picture of what drives them and one concrete commitment to act on.
This gives each person a clear personal summary of their motivators and a specific commitment to take away. Hand out the template, give people time to complete it, invite a few to share their commitment, then close by asking them to put a date on it.
Give participants eight minutes to complete the template individually. It asks for their top three motivators from the session, where these are strongest right now, where they are most fragile, one thing they want to do differently as an individual, and one thing they want to do differently as a leader or colleague. The two-part commitment, as an individual and as a leader or colleague, makes sure both dimensions of the session have an explicit output. Some people find one more natural than the other, so encourage them to spend more time on the harder one.
Invite two or three participants to share their commitment, just the one thing they want to do differently. Keep this brief and voluntary.
Close with a forward-looking prompt: put a date on this, come back to it in a month, and ask yourself honestly whether you did that thing. This small step makes the exercise feel like the start of something.
Use Your Motivation Map when you want each person to leave a motivation session with a tangible personal output. A short template captures their top motivators, where those are strongest and most fragile, and one specific change to make and return to.
Using this tool with a skilled facilitator means that discussions are focused, time is used efficiently, and the group moves toward consensus, making the session productive and impactful.
