Activity Tuesday: Motivation Mapping

Start with what they already know—and what they care about.

You could start your workshop by explaining what motivates people.
Or… you could ask them instead.

Motivation Mapping is an early-session anchor activity that taps into the collective experience of your participants—managers, leaders, or professionals—and gets them talking about what actually drives performance in their world.

It works as an icebreaker. It works as a diagnostic. But more than anything, it works as a bridge—between their lived experience and the core message of your session.

They generate the ideas. You connect the dots.
And they stay engaged because their fingerprints are all over the foundation.
