Essential Motivators™
Boost collaboration by better understanding what motivates yourself and others
Friction and misunderstandings in work relationships are constant drains on efficiency and cause frustration and problems. When individuals better understand themselves, they can bring their best skills and talents to their work, and collaborate more impactfully and enjoyably with others.
Essential Motivators™ provides a framework to help learners identify their core psychological needs, values, talents, and behaviors to better understand themselves and others, be more effective, and appreciate different perspectives.
Uncover core strengths and needs
Essential Motivators teaches an easy-to-apply system of four patterns—Air, Earth, Fire, and Water—that helps people become more comfortable with themselves and more collaborative and effective with others.
To identify their Essential Motivators pattern, learners are guided through a process of self-discovery. In this process, they:
-
Discover their superpower—who they are at their core and their special skills
-
Understand themselves at a deeper level and how their core needs influence them
-
Learn to accept others for who they are and what they need
-
Work more effectively with others, improve communication, and resolve conflict
Understand Different Perspectives To Fuel Deeper Collaboration
The Essential Motivators framework was developed by author and expert Linda Berens, who has over forty years of experience in teaching people to recognize their strengths, transcend their weaknesses, and work together better.
