ESFP Motivations

When people are energized, driven, and focused, it can usually be attributed to energy-driving behaviors. Therefore, it’s important to know what kinds of activities motivate each personality type.

ESFPs tend to thrive when they’re able to connect with others on a deeper level. As natural collaborators, ESFPs love getting to know the people around them. It’s important that they are able to work in positions that allow them to build connections with coworkers.

They tend to enjoy going to parties, concerts, and other people-oriented events. Being around others tends to excite and energize ESFPs. They are excitement-seeking, fun-loving people who thrive in groups or on teams. They’re therefore likely to seek out opportunities that involve lots of people, even at work.

ESFPs love feeling surrounded by beauty and art. They tend to feel energized by creativity, especially when it can be found around them. When they’re able to help make a space feel more imaginative and peaceful, they are likely to feel very inspired. ESFPs may work more effectively in artistic, but functional, environments.

They tend to enjoy having a chance to entertain others. ESFPs love to perform and make other people happy, so having a chance to express themselves creatively and put on a good show is likely to motivate them. They may even try doing comedy or acting as a hobby, just to have the chance to entertain on a larger scale.

When ESFPs are able to engage in energizing tasks, they’ll feel happier and more productive. They’ll be able to put their abilities to good use and enjoy the work they’re doing, which will likely improve their overall engagement in a work environment.
