Why Go to a Conference?
Tomorrow we kick off with another Motivational Maps conference at the Elstead Hotel in Bournemouth and I am really looking forward to it. Why do people go to Conferences? What is the point? And what do they take from them? People go to Conferences, I think, to belong: to be part of something bigger thanContinue reading “Why Go to a Conference?”
The Enneagram and Motivational Maps
I sometimes get asked what is the connection between the Enneagram and Motivational Maps? This is a great question since the Enneagram is one of the three foundation blocks on which I constructed Motivational Maps.

The Superiority of Energy over Personality
We have long held that in terms of work performance it is far better to consider what motivates a person than to ask what is his or her personality type. As my friend Steve Jones likes to say, ‘Nobody goes to work on a Monday morning because of their personality type; they go because ofContinue reading “The Superiority of Energy over Personality”
Motivating our People
