6 Core Needs

Success and happiness can be found by meeting certain core needs we have as humans. Through his work in human needs psychology, and over 3 million people and counting, leadership psychology expert Tony Robbins says humans are motivated by the desire to fulfill six core needs. These needs are not merely wants or desires but profound needs and form the basis of every choice we make – pretty powerful stuff!

By understanding how our core drivers impact our decision making and behaviours each and every day, we will be more aware of why we do things and act in certain ways.

Each day we fulfill our needs – it can be resourceful or constructive, neutral, or unresourceful or destructive.

Once we understand our core drivers, then we can consider ways of meeting these needs in a resourceful way, in all parts of our lives.

We can maximise our own performance and motivation, as well as those of our teams.

So, what are your core needs - your core drivers - that you base your decisions and action on each and every day?
