Sue delves into the concept of motivation by exploring Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how it can be applied to personal and professional goals. She discusses the five elements of the hierarchy, including physiological needs, safety, belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualisation, providing practical examples and strategies for leveraging these elements to boost intrinsic motivation, emphasising the importance of meeting basic needs, finding belonging and support, boosting self-esteem through recognition, and aligning with one's purpose for self-actualisation. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs can be applied to personal motivation, focusing on physiological needs, safety, belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualisation.
• It's vital to meet basic physiological needs, financial security, and create a sense of belonging to boost motivation.
• We need to boost self-esteem through recognition, awards, and achievements to enhance motivation and drive.
• Explore your values, speak your truth, and align with your purpose to find meaning and self-actualisation in your work.
