Motivation guide

This is your starting point for Pathway. Although you can explore anywhere you like within the platform, we recommend that you begin with our Motivation Guide because it will help you to understand the nature of motivation, when you have it and when you don’t – and the steps you can take to monitor your motivation.

Understanding what motivates us can help us to make the right choices for our career ahead and to retain our all-important agency and empowerment!

Your Motivation Plan

The Guide to Motivation also includes a self-build Motivation Plan. This is accessed at the end of Chapter 2.
