Maggie Tomas, FOUNDER
Hello! I’m Maggie, the creator of CareerMoti. I have been career coaching students and a wide range of professionals for nearly 2 decades. Currently, I lead the University of Minnesota’s graduate business career center, am a mom of 2 energetic girls, and am passionate about making the community a better place. A thriving community needs workers who are motivated and healthy. My mission is to help everyone figure out how to be healthy and happy at work.
In my years of working with hundreds of clients, I have discovered that often career dissatisfaction is not due to a functional or industry mismatch but rather a misalignment in motivation. In getting to the heart of what motivated people in career, I have seen that there are 5 distinct motivational types (or codes) that often drive our satisfaction at work. I created the MotiCode assessment and framework to help professionals easily identify their motivational type. It’s amazing to see how using the MotiCode framework and the CareerMoti tools can significantly increase satisfaction levels in clients once they discover how they are motivated and then make small shifts at work to align motivation.
I built CareerMoti, and the assessment MotiCodes, to bring this message to organizations to help with employee retention, well-being, and overall engagement at work. We all deserve to be happy in our careers. Understanding your motivational type is the first step.
