Mapping your motivation

Date & Time: 31 March 15:30-17:00

Location: Forum, 031+034 (the rooms behind the IT service point on the ground floor)

The Career compass is an evidence-based tool that is known for the five career competences it contains. These career competences are proven to be a solid fundament for career development (Kuipers et al, 2006, 2013). In order to get back in shape, this workshop focuses on one of the five career competences of the compass: reflection on motives. 

The key questions that we address are: 

• What do you want?
• What makes you happy?
• What drives you? What motivates you?

During this workshop, you will:

• Explore your past, and relive moments when you lost track of time and felt joyful, motivated
• Create an overview of those moments in the form of images or text
• Analyze this data to discover and learn more about your motivation and what drives you

At the end of the workshop:

• You have created a ready-to-use overview of what motivates you in life, and more specific in your career. You can take that home with you, for use in future career endeavors.
