Understand what motivates your team and take concrete action to keep that momentum going.
What is this workshop?
Motivation isn't just about perks or praise — it's about understanding what conditions help each team member do their best work. This retrospective creates space for honest reflection on what's energizing and what's draining the team, so you can take concrete action to improve the working environment before people quietly disengage.

How to run this workshop
- 1Duplicate the Miro board and share it with your team.
- 2Start with individual reflection: each person rates their current motivation and adds notes on what's driving it.
- 3Share anonymously first, then open it up for discussion.
- 4Identify the top one or two motivation drains as a team.
- 5Commit to one concrete change — a process, a norm, or a responsibility shift — and review it next month.
Tips for first-time facilitators
- Start anonymously — names off until themes are visible. Safety enables honesty.
- Don't defend or explain when someone names what's draining them. Listen first.
- One committed action per session is enough. Vague commitments ('improve communication') are worse than none.
