What Does it Mean to Activate Your Greatness?

If you are a great Leader you define motivation for yourself, and help others, by understanding...

• What types of environments motivate you,
• What specifically stresses you out,
• How you most bring value to organizations,
• How you may be perceived by others,
• How you like to be managed,
• What gives you energy,
• And what depletes you.

If you know these things, you are Activating Your Greatness, and with this knowledge it is much easier to define motivation in your life.
