Everyone has a unique pattern of gifts and skills, the things you do well and which you most enjoy doing. These are your ‘motivated abilities'; it is when you use them that you feel involved and fulfilled. They are your natural inner tools, directing what you want to do and how you choose to go about it.

If you take a look at all the tasks you do during a typical week, you'll see that you use a remarkable array of skills and abilities. However, you don't find all of them equally engaging. These skills can be divided into two categories: ‘can-do' skills and motivated abilities.

Can-do Skills

As the name implies, these are the skills you are capable of using with some proficiency, but which do not necessarily give you personal satisfaction.

Motivated Abilities

These are the abilities and activities that:

• You are drawn to
• You find absorbing and engaging
• You gravitate to without thinking about them
• Come so naturally to you that you think of them as ‘common sense'

Many people lose track of time when these abilities are engaged. They represent you at your best

SIMA identifies what it is that motivates you, what yourunderlying drives and passions are and how you operate when you are fully engaged in the tasks that give you the most satisfaction.

SIMA helps you to understand how you work at your best and the environment in which you perform well and are most productive. It describes the circumstances that energise you as well as those that frustrate and block you.

SIMA describes the subject matters that interest you, that you enjoy being involved with on a regular basis.

SIMA clarifies how you relate to others, in order to give of your best. It shows you the roles that you are most comfortable with and in which you function most effectively.

Most importantly, SIMA identifies the results you consistently try to achieve. It explains the driving force behind your actions and enthusiasms; it provides a key to your satisfaction and purpose in life

A clear reflection of you

SIMA is not a questionnaire based profiling tool that we plug into a computer and score you on. It does not judge you or talk about rights or wrongs. It is a process that takes you seriously as an individual, it follows your lead and gets to the heart of who you are and how you operate. It works with you from the inside out. The outcome is a pattern of your preferences, your unique motivational design – a clear reflection of you.
