Whats your Motivation (ASSESSMENT)

Whether you’re networking, selling, leading a team meeting, making a presentation, or negotiating, top-notch communication skills are essential to your success. To develop these skills, you first need to understand your preferences when interacting with others and what motivates you. Knowing this will help you in all business situations, allowing you to adapt, play to your strengths, and recognize areas that need work.

For example, if you’re a thoughtful, internally-motivated person who takes time to consider outcomes, then working in a field that requires on-the-fly decision-making could be uncomfortable for you. Or, if you’re an externally-motivated person who thrives on lively discussion and bouncing ideas off other people, independent research could leave you uninspired and unsure of your results.

Self-awareness is key.
