Description
Motivation plays a critical role in learning and performance – but it’s often misunderstood.
In L&D, it’s easy to make assumptions about what drives people, how motivation works, and how to tap into it to unlock performance.
This handout explores some of the most common myths L&D professionals and leaders may encounter – whether in programme design, leadership conversations, or coaching. Each myth is paired with a practical reframe, based on insights from Motivational Maps and broader motivation psychology.
Use these to challenge assumptions, support more meaningful conversations, and design learning that energises people – not just equips them
