MOTIVATE ME TO COMPLY

How do you define motivation?

How do you define compliance?

It might be worth having clarity.

A DEFINITION OF MOTIVATION

Motivation can be defined as a concept used to describe the factors within an individual

which arouse, maintain and channel behaviour towards a pre-defined

goal.

BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE OCCURS WHEN FIVE

FACTORS ARE PRESENT:-I want to do it.

I can do it what is asked of me. (Self efficacy.)

It will be an advantage to me to do it, or i can avoid a disadvantage.

I will work at it. (Effort)

I will persist at it. (Time.)

COMPLIANCE IS RECOGNISABLE IN:-

Orientation to the problem.

Recognising it as a PERSONAL problem.

Searching for a solution.

Applying the solution.

Maintaining the gains.

5IVE

Let us understand the five factors.

WANT TO?

What are the reasons for the person to do what you require of them?

BECAUSE,

BECAUSE,

BECAUSE!

Use the freakin word!

BECAUSE

PROVIDES

REASON,

AND

REASON

IS IMPORTANT IN

MOTIVATION.

SEASON OF REASON

People are much more likely to be motivated to be compliant when we

provide them with REASONS

for them to do so.

Never forget, the human brain tries to

MAKE SENSE OF,

to UNDERSTAND,

to FIND MEANING.

To motivate people often all we have to do is provide meaning.

GOOD REASON

You are subtly forcing them to think about it

by giving them reasons to do so,

and is especially powerful when we

provide them with a GOOD REASON.

It is at its most powerful when the person is

motivated by

THEIR

good reason.

HIERARCHY.

Person’s good reason

to be motivated.

 

Your good reason.

(Strive for maximal congruence, i.e. same

reasons)

 

Your reasonable request as to how it will be done.

CAN DO IT.

If a person does not believe that they can

carry out the steps and influence the outcome

they won’t even try.

Or, as soon as they hit an obstacle they give up.

S.F.P.

ADVANTAGES / CATASTROPHE.

Help the person identify the advantages of being

compliant and the catastrophe is in not

being compliant.

ADVANTAGES OF COMPLIANCE

People are motivated to be compliant

(change behaviours)

when they

COGNITIVELY

RE-EVALUATE

the impact on their lives of

NOT BEING COMPLIANT.

ADVANTAGES OF COMPLIANCE

When the

actual consequences of being non-compliant out

weigh the perceived benefits of being

compliant

behavioural change is much more likely to occur.

EFFORT IS MINIMAL.

People like the “no-effort” solution to life’s problems.

Habits are efficient ways of doing things.

Once a habit is established we have compliance.

“Habits are at first as cobwebs,

at last as chains.”

KEEP IT UP.

Our minds love habits and routines.

Once your mind acquires a habit, it resists change irrespective of whether what you are doing is good or bad for you.

PERSISTENCE.

By far the bulk of medication regimes are abandoned in the first

twelve months, if not in the first thirty days!

Follow up, remind.

RULE OF THUMB.

To motivate a person to change BEHAVIOURS,

 

INCREASE THE REASONS

FOR THEM TO DO SO.

RULE OF THUMB.

To maximise compliance

 

IDENTIFY AND REMOVE THE OBSTACLES.

RULE OF THUMB.

To keep them compliant

 

REMIND THEM OF THE REASONS THEY

CHOOSE TO DO IT,

DECREASE THE OBSTACLES.

  

RULE OF THUMB.

TWICE AS MUCH EFFORT SHOULD BE

PUT INTO ESTABLISHING THE

REASONS TO CHANGE

AS IN REMOVING THE OBSTACLES.

they too have their story.”
