How can the inner energy driving our “why” be measured and then enhanced or sustained?
Research shows that the outcomes of engagement — i.e. productive work behaviors like innovation, loyalty, collaboration, operational efficiency, and financial growth — all tie to one core focus: individual motivation.
Personal engagement is often a foundational issue leading to mediocre performance within both individuals and teams.
Pep talks don’t really work, and research shows that elaborate team building events lack long-term results. Shared emotions can cause people to feel more engaged for a little while, but they simply don’t deliver consistent results over time.
In fact, the most growth-minded leaders know that connecting collaboration and individual motivators of success-minded team members is the key to unlock productive teamwork. But how is a leader to know what internally motivates each individual?
Who Can I Help?
Whether you're an individual looking for a stronger career path, a team leader in search of better management tools, or an organization looking for long-term growth strategies, I have the tools and expertise to help.
Hi, I'm Kaye Carter.
With over 30 years of corporate workforce and leadership experience, I know how challenging it can be to stay motivated in a demotivating work culture.
It can be difficult to manage teams going through organizational change and a real challenge to increase productivity levels of a team that is struggling to meet goals and stay engaged.
I am passionate about helping clients get to root causes of their performance concerns so they become self-motivated masters— working and living in their full potential!
If you are tired of the outcome you’ve been getting, it’s time to try something new!

Recently, I engaged Kaye for a personal Motivational Map® Profile. I have done many personality and strengths tests—but this was unlike anything I’d ever done before. The Map truly helped me understand what energizes me and it helped me assess the areas in which I may be lacking motivation— and why. This knowledge has helped me know what priorities and areas of my life need changed in order to function at my highest professional capacity and personal fulfillment. Plus—it’s also helped me realize the things that are already in place that I need to protect!
I highly recommend Kaye Carter as an exceptional resource for personal and professional growth! She is a true partner to help you gain real clarity and maximize your skills and abilities.

Kaye is an expert at asking great questions and identifying root issues that can bring clarity and desired results. One of the biggest take-aways she’s imparted was to know the purpose for which we exist. “Your purpose is mission-critical. Without it, people will mentally quit when encountering hardship. Knowing your purpose, coupled with your real identity will stabilize your soul. Together, identity and purpose define the trajectory of your life.”
Kaye encouraged me to write a personal mission statement. Her direction forced self-evaluation, provided focus during a chaotic period, and provided on-going clarity for re-setting goals and strategies in order to live more intentionally instead of haphazardly.
Kaye dares you to become real about the chaos you may be facing and her authentic approach is life-changing both personally and professionally. I have witnessed friends and colleagues confidently benefitting from the wisdom and services Kaye offers through Exceeding Life. You, too, can discover what it means to truly thrive in your business or organization when you choose to consult with Kaye Carter.
