Road Map
This exercise offers you a fresh way to think about and imagine your direction using ‘visual
thinking’ – i.e. by drawing your ideas.
Understanding Motivation
Daniel Pink’s Drive: The Suprising Truth About What Motivates Us (2009) and Two-Factor Theory (aka Herzberg’s Theory) published in 1959, by Herzberg, Mausner and Snyderman.
The Two-Factor theory explains the different factors which motivate and demotivate. Herzberg discovered that the absence of some factors led us to feel demotivated, but their presence alone wasn’t motivating; these he termed ‘hygiene factors’. For example being paid less than your peers is likely to demotivate, but being paid fairly is unlikely to lead to high levels of motivation on its own.
ExACT Goals
Within the GROW model of performance coaching, popularised by Carol Wilson and Sir John Whitmore, a critical first-step is to enable the coachee to generate a clear understanding of where they want to get to: a ‘goal’. The ExACT acronym prompts us to consider the ingredients in effective goals.
Track Back
This exercise encourages you to focus on two areas of your life in the future where you want to make change and to identify the critical actions ‘or stepping stones’ along the way to achieving.
