The question contains a hidden assumption — that emotions are one half of decision-making and logic is the other. The Reiss Motivation Profile® gives a different geometry. Motives drive. Emotions appear when motives are met, blocked, or asked to be something else. Logic weighs the options that the motives have already cared about.
Motivational Intelligence is not the discipline of overruling emotions with logic. Nor is it the discipline of trusting emotions over logic. It is the discipline of reading the sixteen motives that produced both the emotion and the option set in the first place.
Once the motives are visible, the emotion stops being a force to manage. It becomes information.

Do emotions decide on their own?

Call to action

Motivational Intelligence reads the sixteen intrinsic life motives — yours and those around you — with enough precision to see where motive profile and role fit, and where they do not. It is a working vocabulary, not an inner force to be harnessed.

Empowering Lives Through Motivational Intelligence
Nestled in the heart of Schwyz, Switzerland, at Gartenlaubenstrasse 15, lies a space devoted to a powerful yet frequently underestimated force:

motivational intelligence.

My work is driven by a deep belief in human potential—the limitless capacity for growth, transformation, and meaningful change. I see potential not as something finite, but as an expansive, untapped resource waiting to be realized.

But what does it truly mean to unlock this potential, both on an individual and collective level?

For some, it’s the pursuit of personal mastery or the journey of self-discovery. For others, it’s about cultivating a culture within organizations that rejects stagnation and embraces evolution.

In every case, the journey begins with a shift in mindset—a courageous willingness to challenge the boundaries we once believed were unchangeable.

My mission is as much about inquiry as it is about action.

How can individuals and organizations foster a mindset geared toward continuous growth?

What strategies can help us overcome the internal and external barriers that hinder progress?

By combining innovative approaches with personalized guidance, my goal is to inspire meaningful change—change that is not only sustainable but also far-reaching, creating a ripple effect that impacts individuals and entire communities alike.
