The Mathematics of Motivation

How to drive evidence based performance

About me

I am a Finance Educator and Mentor.

In all my work around reporting budget performance, I’ve come to the realisation that it’s about motivation.

We use numbers to drive performance every day. You may be counting how many steps you took today, tracking dollars in your savings account, or checking whether you are going to hit your budget numbers at month end.

More importantly, how can we use these numbers as a source of motivation?

My love of numbers started at a young age. In the days of backyard cricket. Playing with my friends and my younger brother Michael. Where I would write down all the scores in my A5 notebook. At the end of the day, I would re-calculate everyone’s averages and announce them as the daylight began to fade. Starting with the lowest average and finishing with the highest.

One night, I was half-way through announcing the averages for the day when my brother
interrupted me.

“I don’t want to play anymore”.
