Workshop’s description
Reach for the sources of internal motivation to understand what you need for effective work and a fulfilled life. Internal Motivation, or What Drives Us, is a workshop for leaders who want to wisely lead their team to their goals, taking care of the development and well-being of their colleagues.
Get to know the sources of motivation
Motivation is the driving force behind what we do. Knowing its sources allows us to understand what exactly we need to act effectively and feel fulfilled. At Leaders Island, we believe that a leader is a person who leads a team to win (Leading a Winning Team). Regardless of what your definition of winning is, in order to be an effective leader it is worth knowing, understanding and adapting the mechanism of internal motivation.
Why is it worth it?
The sense of fulfillment and satisfaction of employees is a huge "source of energy" for the team and the foundation of commitment. Such a team effectively strives to win, is more resistant to difficulties, has much lower turnover and does not need additional financial motivators.
Each of us is different
We are practitioners and we combine our experience with a reliable scientific approach. We respect the diversity of each of us and the complexity of the world, so instead of simplified paradigms about motivation or general recommendations like: "motivation is: autonomy, mastery and purpose", we invite you on a journey whose goal is new, deeper knowledge about yourself. As a leader, you will be able to translate it into the team, activating intrinsic motivation among employees.

Workshop’s program - scope
Internal Motivation, or What Drives Us, is a one-day workshop preceded by a psychometric test and an individual mentoring session. The goal of this program is to learn and understand the sources of internal motivation and then use this force to strengthen a team’s effectiveness.
RMP Individual Intrinsic Motivation Profile Test (online)
The first step is to scientifically measure your intrinsic motivation. At this stage, we will use a concept developed on the basis of extensive empirical research by the team of Professor Steven Reiss from Ohio State University. Thanks to it, you will learn your individual intensity of 16 basic motivators/desires that characterize every person. Reiss Motivation Profile® is a test that meets all 5 scientific criteria relating to psychometric testing: validity, reliability, standardization, objectivity and normalization.
Individual mentoring session with an experienced RMP Master (online)
It is worth adding that we chose Reiss Motivation Profile® as an effective method of measuring motivation because it is not very sensitive to the effect of "social adjustment", i.e. the desire to influence results by providing desired answers. The impact of this effect measured using the MCSDS scale (Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale) is below 3%, so it is small. In the next step, during an individual mentoring session with an experienced leader, you will discuss the results obtained. The aim of this consultation is to determine the significant sources of your internal motivation and how they translate into your behavior.
One-day workshop in a group of leaders
The third stage is a workshop meeting in a group of leaders who, like you, have completed the previous two stages. With a greater awareness of your own motivation, you will meet in a working group to, together with the leading mentor, consider how to translate the acquired knowledge and self-awareness into the team you work with.
Workshop topics
Referring to our model of leadership skills, Leading a Winning Team, we will revise erroneous views about motivation and focus on reliably verified mechanisms that you can apply in your sphere of influence as a team leader. We will combine motivation with commitment both at the individual level - for each team member - and at the level of a group. We will also focus on an individual strategy for strengthening the motivation of each colleague, so that thanks to the tactics developed during the workshop, you will be able to take advantage of the diversity of people you work with as a leader.
Each of us is defined by 16 needs, but it is their individual intensity that determines our motivation.
What will be your takeaways from the intrinsic motivation workshop?
After this workshop at Leaders Island, you will understand better what drives people. You will:
- learn about the psychological mechanisms of internal motivation and verify this knowledge on your own example
- identify what motivates and demotivates you, which will help you understand why intrinsic motivation has such a significant impact on human behavior
- deepen your self-awareness - you will learn what drives your decisions and what you need to increase your effectiveness and live a fulfilled life
- understand how you can ensure deep and strong internal motivation among your colleagues. This will radically change the quality of work in the team and, consequently, the goals you can achieve, the style in which you do it and the emotions you experience while working
- understand not only what motivates you, but also the extent to which each of the 16 universal desires affects you: the orange area on your profile is neutral needs, dark blue are large needs, and blue are small needs. The closer they are to the edge of the scale on the right or left, the more they influence your behavior. Meeting these needs has a key impact on your sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
What others think about this training
The aim of the training is to understand the sources of internal motivation and then use this force to strengthen the effectiveness of your team.
After listening to several podcasts on RMP that Józef has made, I was eagerly awaiting for the opportunity to complete my profile. It’s definitely worth getting to know it. Some of the results confirmed my previous observations, but some of them surprised me. It is worth sharing your profile with your colleagues so that they also understand what motivates us, what guides us when making decisions, and what causes certain behaviors. I definitely recommend RMP to anyone who would like to understand themselves better.
As a manager with many years of experince, I have been involved in self-development and I am aware of my own motivation. The result of the RMP profile was not a big surprise to me, but it perfectly showed, summarized and explained what I had guessed about myself, but previously did not exactly. Now I know it! Systematizing the theory of motivation around the 16 RMP motivators gave me peace of mind and confidence that I was working on the right areas of my development. I am very satisfied with the RMP analysis, because it contributed to a better understanding and awareness of my behavior in specific situations and feelings I have towards people and things.
I have recently had the opportunity to participate in the Motivation Billion.0 workshop, led by Mariusz Dobrzycki. I must admit that it was probably the best workshop I have attended during my 12-year professional career. Mariusz created fantastic conditions for discussion and exchange of experiences, while keeping us on topic. The topic itself is a must-have for everyone who wants to consciously manage not only their team, but also themselves. I recommend it to everyone. Great stuff!
