How and When to Use This Simple Motivation Quiz Tool!

How motivated are your clients—and prospective clients really? Do you have clients who SAY they're going to do things—and then don't? Would you like a better idea of how committed your clients are (how much energy and effort they're willing to spend) to their goals?

Motivation can be tricky thing. It can change from one day to the next, and it also changes depending on what we're focusing on.

Why use this Motivation Quiz?

This "Motivation Quiz" Tool provides a great jumping off point to discuss motivation with your clients:

• How are they feeling about their goals?
• How much energy and time they are willing to put in to achieve them?
• And what can coaching (and you as their coach) do to help?

About this Tool / Features

• Page 1 of this Motivation Quiz asks 5 simple questions to help your client get a sense of how motivated they are feeling.
• And on Page 2 your client can read their "results" and get tips as well as some ideas of how a coach could help them.
• Quiz results are divided into The Big Leap where people are highly motivated, The Middle Way where people are moderately motivated, and Small Steps which is low motivation or low energy. Possible reasons for your client's results are offered PLUS 3 great motivation-boosting homework ideas!

This quiz itself offers 5 simple questions and 3 possible answers for each—and there are no right and wrong answers. The answers your clients select are just an indicator intended for further exploration and discussion—as well giving you an idea of how motivated your client currently is. Then you work together towards increasing commitment and motivation.

The quiz results on page 2 offers some great coaching topics—including getting more organized, comfort zones, creating healthy habits, going the extra mile, whether the goals are yours (or for someone else), the importance of taking regular action and identifying what's draining our energy.
