In this episode, we challenge the traditional view of the “skills gap” and reveal the deeper issue shaping today’s workforce: the motivation gap. Skills can be taught — but motivation determines whether those skills stick, grow, and translate into real performance.

Explore how Motivation DNA, MQi, and Sherpa AI equip leaders to close the skills gap at its root by aligning people with the work they are inherently wired to do. We uncover how motivational science predicts learning speed, job fit, engagement, conflict patterns, leadership potential, and resilience — and why organizations that adopt a motivation-first talent strategy outperform those that rely on guesswork or personality tests.

This episode is a must-listen for CEOs, HR leaders, and executives seeking a science-backed, AI-enabled approach to talent development, workforce planning, and leadership transformation.
