In this episode of Stepping Into Your Leadership, Christine Courtney is joined by coach and facilitator Greg Shamie to break down one of the most powerful—and elusive—skills in leadership: motivation.

Together, they unpack what motivation really means in the workplace, how to distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic drivers, and why the best leaders focus on energy, connection, and purpose. Greg shares powerful frameworks from Daniel Pink’s Drive, as well as his own time-tested tips from the field—including how he motivates sports teams, corporate teams, and even his own daughter.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between energy and engagement—and why both matter
• Greg’s go-to strategy for reading a team’s “motivation meter”
• How to meet people where they are (without judgment)
• The three core levers of motivation: Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose
• How great managers spark motivation through 1:1s, feedback, and meaningful goals
• Christine’s story of a workshop gone sideways—and how empathy turned it around

If you lead people—or want to—you’ll walk away with practical, real-world strategies to keep your team engaged, inspired, and showing up at their best.
