Emily often struggled to communicate her needs in relationships. She would end up frustrated, feeling like her needs were never met, but unsure how to express them. After taking the Motivators Assessment, Emily realized that she was driven by Power and Altruism—she needed both influence and the opportunity to help others. Understanding this allowed her to communicate her needs more effectively, ultimately strengthening her relationships.

Our motivators influence how we interact with others, whether we realize it or not. If you’re driven by Regulatory values, for example, you might expect others to follow certain routines or rules, while someone motivated by Individualistic values may prioritize independence and freedom in their relationships.

When you understand what drives you, you can better communicate your needs, making it easier to set boundaries, express expectations, and resolve conflicts. Understanding the motivators of others also helps you empathize with their needs and behaviors.

Take our Motivators Assessment to gain insights into how your motivators shape your communication style and relationship dynamics.

• Discuss Motivators with Loved Ones: Share your motivators with close friends or family members and ask them to share theirs. This can lead to deeper conversations about needs and expectations.

• Reflect on Conflicts: Think of a recent disagreement. Was the conflict rooted in conflicting motivators? Understanding this can help you resolve or avoid future misunderstandings.

• Can understanding my motivators improve my professional relationships?

  Absolutely. By recognizing your own motivators and understanding those of your colleagues, you can improve teamwork, communication, and conflict resolution.

• How do I balance different motivators in relationships?

  Understanding that different people are motivated by different things allows for more empathy and flexibility. Balance comes from recognizing and respecting each other’s needs.
