Career choice motivation: How managers find their true purpose

Career choice motivation: the key to personal development

Career choice Motivation is what drives people to choose a particular career path. It influences how committed and satisfied someone is in their work. Many managers ask themselves how they can strengthen their career choice motivation. Clients often report that they feel overwhelmed in their role or feel that they are no longer in line with their values. Coaching can provide impetus and support here.

Why career choice motivation is important

Career choice Motivation is not only crucial for starting a career. It also remains important later on. Those who work on their own initiative remain motivated and committed. Managers who reflect on their career choice motivation are better able to decide which paths they want to take. They recognise what really drives them and what fulfils them.

Career choice Motivation and personal values

Career motivation is closely linked to personal values. Many managers realise that they no longer feel comfortable in their role if their values are no longer taken into account. One example is the decision as to whether one prefers to work in a team or alone. If you know your values, you can better understand and strengthen your career motivation.

Career choice Motivation and goals

Goals are an important part of career choice motivation. Those who have clear goals know where they want to go. Managers who regularly review their goals remain motivated. They recognise whether they are on the right track or whether they need to set new goals. Clients often report that they feel motivated again by setting goals.

Practical tips for more career choice motivation

There are various ways to strengthen career motivation. One of these is to regularly reflect on your own motivation. Managers can ask themselves why they have chosen their profession and what they particularly value about it. They can also consider which experiences have particularly motivated them.

Career choice Motivation and feedback

Feedback is an important part of career motivation. Managers who regularly give and receive feedback remain motivated. They recognise what they are doing well and where they can improve. Clients often report that positive feedback has re-motivated them.

Career choice Motivation and further training

Further training is another way to strengthen career motivation. Managers who undergo further training remain motivated. They learn new skills and expand their knowledge. Clients often report that further training has re-motivated them.
