A journey of exploration
With the Work Engagement Tool, you will explore: • What is unique about you! It will also help you understand what your most important motivational drivers actually are and what this means for you. • Whether and how your motivations are realised in your work life. • The extent to which you are currently engaged at work and contributing your talents, passions and creativities and wisdom. • Changes that you would like to make to enrich your work and achieve a higher level of engagement and contribution. • How you might like to work towards reaching your full potential. • Goals and strategies to support you to make any necessary transitions. • Ways to keep on track to realise the powerful vision for your future.
Value you will gain from the tool
After using the tool, you will: • Achieve greater clarity about what is important to you. • Explore the extent to which your motivational drivers and needs are being met in your current workplace. • Consider whether those needs are being met in other areas of your life. • Identify and implement adjustments that may be made to your work situation, environment, conditions or role to improve the alignment of your motivational drivers to your work. • Remove any tensions that exist between what you desire and what you experience in the workplace. • Reflect much deeper on what you aspire to do and be in your future. • Improve your work satisfaction level. The challenges and choices will be different for everyone; for example, you might be validated that you are on the right pathway and quite content in your work. Or you might be inspired to start a journey of major growth or transformation such as initiating a new career direction, starting a new business, changing the culture of your team or becoming more spiritually aware. Whatever your scenario, our intent is for this tool to be a catalyst for what you can do to enrich your personal and work life – and to realise without doubt that it’s best for you and those around you.

Metaphor of the Propeller
To access the Work Engagement Tool
Log on to :
You are the pilot of your own life and therefore in control of propelling and navigating your future. Because is your navigational agent to guide you. This means that you have choices and decisions to make about: • Which direction do you wish to go – where do you really want to be in your life and career? • What distances do you want to travel – where are you motivated to be in your life and career? • What is your travel itinerary – what meaning does your work provide you in the context of where you are at in your career and life? • What meaning your work has in the context of where you are at in your life. • Which do you prefer to travel, business class or economy – do you need others to provide for your needs or are you more selfsufficient? • Over what terrains do you wish to travel - challenging mountains, open fields, angry seas or peaceful valleys?
What experiences do you wish to encounter in your career – how would you like to be remembered for your contribution? • What kind of experiences do you wish to encounter and how would you like your memory to live on? • How well equipped are you to deal with the unexpected weather conditions that are presented on your journey – how do you deal with crises and stabilize your direction to get yourself back on course? • When and where do you refuel – where do you get the support, encouragement and nourishment to enable you to continue at a desired pace through your life journey? • When do you land and slow down enough to see the individual blades of your propeller – how often do you take time out to get perspective on whether you are in balance and you are addressing what is most important to you?
