Beyond Motivation: Inspire and Empower Others and Yourself
In this episode of “Questions and Conversations on Leadership and Life,” we take a deep dive into what truly drives motivation and hope—both for ourselves and for those we lead. Steve and Poli explore the idea that while leaders can’t directly motivate others, they can inspire by helping people find a clear and compelling vision, a pathway to get there, and the agency to take action.
We’ll break down the core elements of intrinsic motivation—curiosity, passion, purpose, autonomy, and mastery—and share practical questions you can ask yourself or your team to spark growth.
The conversation also connects these ideas to the six human needs: certainty, variety, significance, connection, growth, and contribution, showing how understanding these drives can help you create a more inspired and resilient environment.
Whether you’re a leader, mentor, or someone seeking to reignite your own motivation, this episode offers actionable insights, real-life examples, and powerful frameworks to help you and those around you move forward with clarity and confidence.
