Did you commit to doing anything after your last conversation? If so, did you do it? If not, why not?

What really motivates you?

‍If you've done our motivators quiz, you'll already have an idea of what gets you out of bed in the morning, but it's still great to talk through what you really want from work. Here are some thought-starters for you to discuss...

‍Q. Do you prefer knowing a lot about one thing or a little about many?

‍Q. How important is money and status to you? Be honest!

‍Q. Would you rather work alone or as part of a team?

‍Q. How important is it to you to consider other people when it comes to work?

‍Q. Do you live to work or work to live...?

‍What do you value most?

‍Q. What's most important to you in life?

‍Q. When you’re reading the news, what sort of story or behaviour inspires you?

‍Q. What do you want to change about the world?

‍Q. What five words best sum up your values and why?
