In life and in business, what is more valuable than being truly seen for who you are?
It’s a rare feeling, particularly in business.
But that’s what Samir Wagle heard over and over after introducing Kolbe RightFit™ to executives looking for jobs.
They felt seen. And, ultimately, that inspired a confidence in the hiring process that transcended the end result.

When we apply for jobs, we want to be seen!
It’s a lesson Samir Wagle valued so much that he became Kolbe Certified™, and then used his knowledge to help hire in a way that leads to actual long-term success.
Actually seeing a candidate for who they are and how they naturally operate doesn’t just help the company find the right person for the role, but also allows people to find successful careers where they have the freedom to be themselves. Who would have thought, right?

Raymond looks before he leads. That used to feel like a flaw to him.
He's an elementary school teacher. The kind of person who acts as the rock for his students and his family.
David sat down with Raymond to unpack how a fact finding instinct becomes a classroom advantage, and where "good advice" quietly works against the people who need something different.

Most people only know about TWO parts of their mind.
They know what they're good at (skills, experience, expertise). They know what they like and how they feel about it. What they usually miss is the third part, the one that actually drives whether any of that gets used.
Philosophers have talked about this for centuries. Plato touched on it. Modern psychology still tends to skip it.
Here's the breakdown:
Cognitive – your thinking mind. Skills, knowledge, IQ. This changes as you learn.
Affective – your feeling mind. Preferences, desires, emotions. This shifts with mood and circumstance.
Conative – your instinctive mind. The way you naturally take action. This doesn't change.
Most assessments measure the first two. Almost none measure the third, and it's the one that determines how you actually get things done.
When you understand your conative strengths, work stops feeling like a fight against your own instincts. You get more done, with less friction, doing it your way.

Some people freeze when the plan falls apart, but Eric Bond gets more creative.
On the latest episode of Powered by Instinct: Private Sessions, David Kolbe sat down with Eric to talk through his Kolbe results, and one theme kept coming up: Eric doesn't want to win the obvious way.
He's spent years gravitating toward role-playing games and chess strategy, not because it's a hobby, but because he's chasing the moment where a creative idea beats the predictable play.
That's Initiating Quick Start showing up in real life, long before he ever took a Kolbe A™ Index.
As Eric put it, he's always had "a passion for finding a way to beat them with a creative idea" instead of doing the same thing over and over.
That's the value of understanding your Natural Advantage. It's not just a label. It explains why certain challenges energize you while others drain you, and it gives you language for something you've probably been doing your whole life without realizing why.

A merger is one of the highest-stakes moments a business faces.
And most of the risk isn't even in the balance sheet (it's in the room)!
Here’s one of many examples where bringing in a Kolbe Certified™ Consultant was the difference between disaster and long-term growth.

Some people see a broken shelf and walk past it, and others won't rest until it's fixed.
That isn't their personality kicking in, but a different part of the mind we call conation. Conation is the instinctive part of the mind that drives how we take action.
Initiating Implementors are the ones who build first and think later. If they're handed a problem, they go straight for tangible, hands-on solutions instead of thinking of a solution.

A merger between two financial firms was falling apart, and no one could explain why.
The leaders weren't incompetent, nor were they enemies. They just operated in completely opposite ways, and no one had clocked it yet.
Thankfully, Kolbe Certified™ Consultant Kari Gillenwater was brought in.
Not only did she help both men see that they naturally operated differently, but she also helped them see how to use those respective strengths to successfully navigate the merger.
