Welcome to The Executive Podcast, the show where we talk to the individuals behind-the-scenes of successful businesses who will provide us with valuable insights, tips, and the unique perspectives which have fueled both their successes and challenges. In this episode of The Executive Podcast, we speak to Fiona Mackintosh, the founder of More than Motivation. It provides high-quality leadership training, motivational development and coaching for individuals and businesses. Based in Caithness, Fiona launched her business after working with a care team for her disabled son, where she was introduced to a tool called Motivational Maps. It helps people understand what not only motivates them, but those around them. She now helps other businesses and organisations to make sure they have the right team members in the right places. We speak to Fiona about why its important to know what motivates people, how this can  help businesses and what its like to be a businesswoman, mother and also live on a busy farm. -- You can find more information on More Than Motivation here: www.morethanmotivation.co.uk https://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMotivationLtd   And find Fiona here: fiona@morethanmotivation.co.uk https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-macintosh/   --   Follow The Executive Magazine:   facebook.com/executivebusinessmagazine twitter.com/ExecutiveHNM https://uk.linkedin.com/company/executive-magazine-hnm   Subscribe to our free newsletter here: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/newsletter/   Subscribe to HNM Digital+ here: https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/subscribe/   We partner with stakeholders to keep you up to date with everything that is happening across all sectors within the north of Scotland economy.
