Whatever our situation, whether we are furloughed and awaiting a return to world, employed but in completely different circumstances to what we’re used to, currently jobless, freelance or self-employed, or running a business, one thing remains clear: we have to find a new way to operate to survive in this climate, whether survival means bringing in sufficient revenue as an organisation, avoiding succumbing to mental burnout and exhaustion, or finding another job.

THE LAW OF THREE PART 3: MOTIVATION & FEAR
Welcome to the last instalment of the “law of three”. In part 1, we examined what the “law of three” is on a macro-logical level and looked at affirmation, denial, and reconciliation. In part 2, we drilled down into how this applies to business and the Self Concept. In this final part we will be looking at the way fear interacts with motivation!
UNLOCKING MOTIVATION PART 3: THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’
Understanding how motivators change, and specifically how your motivations in life have shifted over time, is a great way to re-evaluate what you might deem as past ‘mistakes’. It is a great way to understand how you got from then to now, and why you may have made certain choices.
Overcoming Resistance to Change
Carl Jung observed that “All true things must change and only that which changes remains true”. This is a profound paradox, especially when you consider that for all the talk of change there is today, the reality is that most people and most organisations don’t want it.
The Incredible Transformation of Mark Terrell from Super-Shopper to Super-Coach!
Finally, then, we reach Chapter 9, the last chapter of the book, ‘Mapping Motivation’, from Routledge (http://amzn.to/2eqdSQq – last, excluding the Resources section and Index etc.) and a chapter very different from the rest in that it is the proof of the pudding: it contains two case studies of the Maps in action in actualContinue reading “The Incredible Transformation of Mark Terrell from Super-Shopper to Super-Coach!”
Emotions, Risk, Change, Feel, Think and Know: geddit?
In my third blog based on, Mapping Motivation, from Routledge (http://amzn.to/2eqdSQq) I'd like to look at one fascinating aspect of Chapter 3. The nine-point summary at the end of the chapter says: "Speed of decision-making, attitude to risk, and desire for change are also aligned with the nine motivators – as are our orientation toContinue reading “Emotions, Risk, Change, Feel, Think and Know: geddit?”
Organisational Change Blocker #3: Isolation
If the first change stopper, dependency culture, is heavily related to Relationship type motivators, and the second change stopper, busy-busy management, is more relevant to Achievement motivators, then it may come as no surprise to Motivational Mappers that the third change stopper, isolation, is deeply connected to the third of the motivational triad, Growth motivators.Continue reading “Organisational Change Blocker #3: Isolation”
Organisational Change Blocker #2: Busy-Busy Management
I looked last time at the first major change stopper within an organisation – dependency culture – and how this related to Motivational Maps and how Maps can help unravel this problem. The second major change blocker is similar: it’s the Busy-Busy Management style that is so prevalent within organisations, including the organisation of theContinue reading “Organisational Change Blocker #2: Busy-Busy Management”
Four Plus One Reasons Not to Change
It would appear that change is ubiquitous and unavoidable, and the net result of that is that everyone – who has a mind – wishes to control it, to get on top of it, to be a master of change rather than its victim. The Earl of Salisbury was in quite another era when heContinue reading “Four Plus One Reasons Not to Change”
Why Leaders Need Personal Development
What is leadership? As Dr Johnson observed about light, it’s easy to see what light is, but not so easy to say what it is; so with leadership – we can easily see its positive presence – and the dire consequence of its absence – but to say what it is proves more tricky.
