Motivating Others
Because people don’t just work for pay — they work for purpose, progress, and appreciation.

Why This Matters
Motivation isn’t something leaders do to people — it’s something they ignite in them. Yet in most workplaces, motivation falters not because people don’t care, but because they don’t feel seen, stretched, or valued.
This workshop helps leaders understand what truly drives motivation — beyond incentives or targets. Through experiential activities, reflection, and practical models, participants explore how to connect work with meaning, give autonomy with clarity, and use recognition as a powerful lever for engagement.
Research by Gallup shows that in comparison to disengaged teams, highly engaged teams — where motivation and recognition are strong experience:
21%
Higher profitability
17%
Higher productivity
56%
Lower turnover

Walk-Through of Learner Experience
At FocusU, every learning experience follows a deliberate arc — moving participants
from awareness to application, and from insight to action.
| STAGE | WHAT HAPPENS |
|---|---|
| Discover | Participants experience engaging activities, challenges and scenarios that surface real attitudes, assumptions, and patterns of behaviour. |
| Reflect | Guided debriefs and discussions help them make sense of what they experienced - connecting it to their personal and workplace realities. |
| Reframe | Learners explore new mindsets, tools, and frameworks that offer fresh ways to approach everyday challenges. |
| Apply | Through practice, planning, and peer feedback, participants translate insights into actionable commitments they can take back to work. |
Every FocusU intervention is designed to move learners from knowing to doing — ensuring
learning doesn’t end in the workshop, but continues in how people think, collaborate, and lead.

Each activity conducted was done really-really well. Extremely innovative - the props that they used were very simple but the value that each activity added was outstanding! The best part was a power packed debrief. They are simply amazing to say the least. A Ten star rating isn't enough to summarize the value that they added to the participants who attended. I wish the team all the very best for all the efforts to deliver a memorable training program.

Every single workshop (except the asynchronous self-paced modules) is customized to the precise customer need and brief. Our client advisory team will work closely with you to understand your context and pass it on to the execution team.
For each workshop, we can help you with three different teasers you can customize and share periodically with participants to build excitement and get traction.
We are glad you asked that question. Every learning intervention starts with "Why?" and "What is the difference you want to see at the workplace because your learner attended this session?" Once we are clear, our learning designers create a thoughtfully curated learning journey that could be a mix of different methodologies chosen to suit your learning environment. Besides this, to aid learning, we can (optionally) buttress it through the following:
- A pre-learning assignment for learners to know where they stand before the journey
- A participant handbook aids the learner in returning to what was covered during the session and reviewing it again. It helps in learning reinforcement.
- A post-learning assignment helps learners know where they stand after the journey. Assessing the gap in learning helps learners in bridging it
- Pocket insights—a ready reckoner with the key concepts that can either be carried along or be pinned up as a ready reminder.
- Manager Essentials—tips (for the managers of the learners) to recognize behavioral changes and create an environment that encourages the learners to put what they have learned to practice.
- Post-learning application of learning at the workplace through a specific project.
- We try to capture the impact of every learning intervention through an impact report that is then shared with clients.
You can reach out to your designated client advisor or reach us at hello@focusu.com to know more about the workshop. Our team will talk with you to understand your needs better to ensure that the workshop is customized to your context.
