• What are your prime motivations in approaching work and business?
  • How effectively do they support or undermine your goal achievement?
  • What really lights you up and energises you and those around you?
  • Does your mindset limit hold you back from untapped possibilities? Or prime you for success?

iWAM can provide the answer.

It identifies what energises and lights you up at work and how you can satisfy this.

What is iWAM?

The Inventory for Work Attitude and Motivation (iWAM) is an online questionnaire which helps an organisation identify an individual’s attention filters and cognitive styles, also called metaprograms. It is not a personality profile.

With the iWAM, one can predict what motivates a person, their work attitude, how they prefer to communicate, and how they prefer to act in their work context. iWAM allows the organisation to take into account the individual preferences and to value each person for their strengths. Using iWAM will help an organization make better use of the human potential of its workforce.

Just because an individual can perform a competency there is no guarantee that they will be motivated to do so on an ongoing basis. For example, follow the policy and procedure of the company and a specific role. iWAM will detail what an individual will find comfortable and enjoyable at work. When there is a natural fit between work demands and the individual’s motivations, there is a higher likelihood of excellent and sustained performance as well as longevity in the position.

It is a system that provides a window into the intrinsic motivations and attitudes of people in their work.

It maps the 48 things that motivate you in order of your preference.

A few examples:

How is iWAM used?

We have been passionately utilising the iWAM tool within all of our coaching, leadership and team programs since 2007. The application and relevance of motivation in any role is often underestimated and is vital to ensure energy, direction and job satisfaction. Understanding and leveraging the motivations of self and others maximises rapport, communication and connection.

Leadership and Teaming

Mapping Motivation for Team Success

Imagine understanding what really motivates yourself and your team?

A collaborative team requires a deep understanding of each other’s strengths and motivations in order to leverage the collective team to maximise performance and deepen relationships and team culture.

To effectively connect and communicate we need to understand what lights each other up and create the space to appreciate and leverage our differences.

Executive Coaching & Mentoring Programs

The iWAM tool is used within all of our 1:1 and team coaching programs.

Understanding motivation of self can assist the individual to understand and leverage their preferred motivations and that that of others. his energises them resulting in happiness, productivity, motivation and high performance. Motivation can account for up to 65% of the predictability of success in any role.

I found coaching very useful to me along with completing the IWAM (Inventory of Workplace Attitudes and Motivations) profiling. This gave me a true understanding of how I work and in what environments I work well in. It’s not a personality profile but how our brains process information. Renée used this to guide and mentor us.
