Do you ever wish you could predict how a new team member will perform—before they even start? In this episode, Shannon Waller shares why she relies on profiles like Kolbe and PRINT® to build high-trust, high-performance teams. Discover how these tools help you delegate with confidence, eliminate mismatched roles, and leverage each person's Unique Ability® so your entire team wins. Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Profiles eliminate guesswork by revealing how team members naturally strive, think, and contribute. Trust and collaboration deepen when you understand a team member's innate strengths, motivations, and problem-solving instincts. The Kolbe A™ Index reveals how someone takes action (their striving instincts) and in what situations they'll resist taking action. CliftonStrengths® highlights top talents so you can assign roles where people will excel effortlessly. Working Genius® identifies which parts of a project energize someone (like inventing or executing) and which drain them. Entrepreneurial teams thrive on adaptability, and profiles create stability by clarifying who does what best. The strongest teams balance different strengths instead of duplicating the same skills. Profiles also prevent pigeonholing by showing the full picture of a person's capabilities, not just one trait. Hiring based solely on experience is risky—profiles uncover hidden potential that resumes miss. Using an Impact Filter™ helps you define the “why” behind a project so you can align the right people with the right tasks. Overall, investing in profiles delivers measurable ROI—better hires stay longer, perform at higher levels, and require less management because they're operating in their areas of Unique Ability from day one.

In this episode, Molly breaks down what mastering communication really looks like for legal leaders—from handling those “Gotta minute?” interruptions to leading clearer, more productive meetings. She shares simple strategies like setting office hours, understanding team communication styles with the Kolbe A Index, and creating space for better conversations that actually move things forward.   Key Takeaways:   Understanding and utilizing different communication styles through the Kolbe A Index can significantly improve workplace efficiency and team interactions. Establishing a structured approach to managing "Got a minute?" moments can streamline communication and reduce workflow disruptions. Instituting 'are you interruptible?' as a standard office language can help maintain focused work environments and respect individual workflows. Implementing daily huddles and open office hours can facilitate better preparation and reduce unnecessary interruptions. Fostering a culture of self-awareness and accountability through clear communication standards helps take pressure off leadership roles.   Quote for the Show: "People behave how you train them...the key is to have a system for facilitating and leading all communication in the firm." - Molly McGrath   Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ Law Firm Admin Bootcamp: https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/VfHRlBZxwZU

Send us a textWhat if peak productivity wasn't about learning new ways to do more, but about working in alignment with your natural strengths? In this episode, David Kolbe shares how to harness your innate abilities to improve performance, boost efficiency, and create lasting success in business and lifeWhat's Covered in This Episode? The surprising reason why hard work isn't always the answer to peak performance. How understanding your strengths can transform the way you work and lead. The role of the Kolbe Index in identifying your natural problem-solving style. Why productivity struggles often stem from working against your instincts—and how to fix it. How entrepreneurs and leaders can create high-performing teams by leveraging individual strengths.David Kolbe is transforming how the world understands human performance. He comes from a lineage of psychometric pioneers and is the CEO of Kolbe Corp,  the leader in helping people leverage their instinctive strengths to achieve what they care about most. David helped develop the original algorithm for the Kolbe A™ Index - the only proven tool to unlock conative strengths. David's book: 

Imagine a world where productivity is easy and performance is effortless.  David Kolbe and Amy Bruske break down the 'Do More, More Naturally' concept from their best-selling book and introduce the Three C's of Sustainable Performance —Clarity, Commitment, and Collaboration—as essential components for effortless success. They explore how to attain sustainable high performance by aligning work and personal goals with one's natural strengths, discuss the common pitfalls of traditional productivity advice, and highlight the significance of balancing productivity with natural instincts.

If you're a leader looking to build your dream team, this episode is for you. You can't do it all, so you need to bring in support. But instead of hiring for your team, what if you used the revolutionary approach of casting your team instead? This mindset shift can change the way you lead. I know it did for me. Traditional hiring has its pitfalls. You may hire the right skills, but miss out on the core values fit that you need. You may hire people you like, such as friends or acquaintances, without thinking about how they'll suit your business. This is even more likely to happen when you're desperate. When you're building your team, remember this: clarity is key and clarity is kindness. Part of the process I've missed in the past was assessing cognitive skills. You should also understand what motivates someone, as this can reveal their personality and emotional makeup. The Kolbe A Index can help you identify someone's modus operandi, which is crucial to see if they're right for your business. You need to align people's strengths with what's expected for success in the role. If you've gotten it wrong before, take away the lessons from that experience with you moving forward. Remember that even when you do everything right, you can still miss a critical piece. The insights I've gained from the Kolbe A Index have helped me improve my process of casting my team. It has also helped me onboard team members when I do find the right fit. Weekly check-ins in the beginning stages of onboarding can also support your casting success.   www.beautyculturespa.com @beautyculture.medspa

The scarcity of affordable housing, particularly affecting young professionals, is widely recognized.

The catalyst was a community member in the neighborhood where he bought his first investment property: Ms. Pam. Ms. Pam walked daily to the elementary school where she worked and took the bus to her night shift job to provide for her granddaughter. As Matt grew to understand how more investment and development could change the neighborhood and potentially push out the Ms.Pams of the world, he desired a better balance. In 2015, he moved to San Francisco to base his new endeavor on revitalizing communities through impactful investment real estate strategies. To him, affordable housing that is walkable, bikeable, and close to necessary retail and job centers shouldn't be just for the affluent.    Connect with Matt  Website: Re-viv    Are you ready to experience the cash flow life?

Today we're speaking with the wonderful Kathy Tagenel, President of Go-Givers International, all about a tool called the Kolbe A Index. My initial discussions with Kathy were eye-opening to say the least. I've taken 'em all, Meyers Briggs, and other EQ/IQ tests as a new student x4 growing up. This Index was probably the most impactful of all, I only wish I had access to it when I was in middle school!In this episode we cover:- How to unlock your innate abilities and harness the Kolbe Index information to help make your life more fulfilling- What an innate ability is. Hint: you were born with these.- How EQ and IQ testing is different from taking a look at the "conative" approach- A quick 101 on the Kolbe A Index and my experience with it- How your innate abilities can support others and vice versa. Loved this- "how we initiate action determines how we naturally communicate"- So much more!LINKS:Receive 30% off Kathy's services here: https://thegogiver.com/wholepicture/Learn more about Kathy here: https://thegogiver.com/kolbe/Thank you for spending time with me!

To achieve success and professional fulfillment, entrepreneurs and business leaders need to understand themselves and their teams better. One way to do this is by taking personality tests that can give them insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies. This week I look at three popular personality assessments for entrepreneurs: Kolbe A Index, Enneagram, and Human Design. I'll explore how each test is different and how they can be used to enhance leadership skills, drive success and build stronger teams.To work with Stephanie or learn more about coaching and story workshops, visit https://storyleadershipinstitute.comResourcesKolbe A Index - https://www.kolbe.com/kolbe-a-index/Enneagram - https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-testHuman Design - https://humandesignblueprint.com/

Talent optimization is a cultural imperative, and it looks like me at my best, you at your best. It starts with the belief that Everyone's Unique, and both considers and celebrates all three parts of one's mind - the affective, cognitive and lesser-known conative. Are you considering all three parts of the mind when hiring, onboarding, developing each member of your team? These three parts working together is talent optimization at its zenith, but requires committed action to be at the forefront of an organization's culture.

Adrienne Duffy, the co-founder of Big Futures Inc., is back with André to discuss how the KOLBE A™ Index, the PRINT™, and CliftonStrengths™ talent and strength assessment tools meld together and they demonstrate how your ADHD can amplify these strengths.  These tools are great accelerator strategies for solving problems.  This was a great discussion on how to be aware of your talents and strengths and how they can become weaknesses at the same time.  Once you are aware, the key is to identify when you are triggered and have a plan to get out of the shadow self-state.

We've all experienced challenges that completely changed how we view the world. Some of these remain a big part of our daily operations, which keeps us helpless and stuck. But while it can be excruciating, we have the power to take control of our lives. With focus, willingness, and action, we can grow and break free from the past experiences that hinder us. And as long as we keep going, we can start building the life we truly want. Mari Tautimes discusses in this episode how she overcame the life challenges she shared in her book #KeepGoing. She introduces the concept of integration in place of seeking "balance" in our lives. She speaks about the power of accepting the messiness in our lives and overcoming the challenges that come with it. Finally, Mari gives us a glimpse of her definition of success and why it's not following another successful person's path. If you want to know how to #keepgoing as a complex individual with a unique story, this episode is for you! 3 Reasons to Listen:Understand why you should accept the messiness in your life.

So they are processing their own life and their own struggles in this psychological safety of my story.” - https://ctt.ec/M0u5c (Click Here To Tweet This)[04:42] Integration, not BalanceThere's no such thing as “balance”; instead, there is the integration of all parts of your life. The wheel of life allows you to score where you are in life.  There will be seasons of life where one thing will be at 0 to 1 for years. That's because it's not time to address it yet. Having a constant awareness of the seasons of your life allows you to make necessary course...

This week on Catapulting Commissions Sales Talk Anthony sits down with Dave Young. Dave is a co-host of the Builder Nuggets podcast, which is focused on building and scaling a valuable business that requires less of your time. He's also a business coach, entrepreneur, real estate investor, and a regional partner for Alair Homes, which builds luxury custom homes around North America. He's joining us today to talk about how to separate yourself in a crowded market and stand out by being just a little bit different.   What was meant to be a 30-minute discovery call with the founder of Alair turned into a new career path for Dave. The founder proposed finding a way to bring together the otherwise-fractured construction industry. Though Dave had a background in real estate and had worked with builders over the years, he wasn't sure how he could fit into something like this at first. But as he talked to the founder, he became convinced this was the new way forward, and he had the confidence to bet on it. Through the podcast and his coaching business, he wants to elevate the construction industry, figure out ways to get people collaborating, and demonstrate that it's not about price, it's about value.    Making that leap into a new career path required him to take a lot of chances, but soon he was able to consistently deliver an exceptional experience to his clients, his team, and the trade partners. He says it's important to take inventory on what you're good at, and focus only on those things. That way, you're constantly working in your effortless ability zone. Instead of labeling things that you hate doing as ‘crappy tasks to get done,' think of them as an opportunity to hire others for whom those tasks fall into their effortless ability zone. Dave always seeks to elevate those around him; in turn he has elevated himself.    As a team builder, you need a clearly defined story and a compelling mission. If your story is not compelling enough, people won't come along with your ideas. Others need to see and experience your value, and then be the ones who amplify it for you. If it's just a business owner going around telling others how great you are, you're just a typical sales rep. For example, in the world of custom homes, it takes a huge team of people to bring that home to life. With the trade shortages out there, the best way to attract the top tradespeople is to show the quality work your tradespeople do. They'll see that you value quality work, and they'll apply for a job with your company.    To be more than a commoditized company, you need a strong culture where you make investments in people. Your people will then invest back in you, your organization, and in each other– and they won't take a chance on a new job for a minor bump in pay. There has to be real opportunity for people to grow and lead. At every level, team members should have an opportunity to shape the mission and add their layer of core value to it. That creates buy-in and allows for something special to grow.  You have to be worth it as a leader– be worth the investment of your team's time and energy. The same is true no matter what industry you're in. Whether you're in home building like Dave, B2B like Anthony, or something else entirely. In every case, the need to invest in people is always the same.   Dave says it's important to avoid the pitfalls of inaction and negativity when building a team. If you've identified a problem, you can't just sit on it. You have to immediately make moves to improve it. Stamp out negativity whenever you can. Don't make time or space for negative people in your life or your team. He also says understanding yourself as a leader is an important piece of the puzzle. Dave recommends everyone take the Kolbe A Index and the Clifton Strengths Assessment. He also has read several books that he's found helpful, but he says to listen to thought leaders that speak to your core values and start following their work for inspiration and ideas. Networking with others in your industry and finding a coach are key as well.   Dave Young on LinkedIn Builder Nuggets Podcast Kolbe A index Clifton Strengths Finder Traction by Gino Wickman Who Not How by Dan Sullivan

It gave us a language to talk about without blaming each other. Today, all people who work for us complete a Kolbe A Index test.Ty's Tip: We all get caught up in the comparison game. By making yourself a price leader in your market, you can stand out from the crowd. If there's one thing you can do it's raise prices. If there's any way you can do it, pass those costs along.Tyson's Tip: Go through your phone and declutter. Delete all those apps you don't use. If you haven't used it in the last 3 months, you're probably not going to use it in the next 3 months, so get rid of them.Watch the podcast here.Join the Guild: www.maxlawguild.comMaxLawCon 2022 Tickets are Live: www.maxlawcon2022.com

Leaders must motivate people. The problem is that everybody's different, so what inspires one team member may demotivate another. It can be confusing to lead a diverse team.  But personality is not an unsolvable puzzle. And we've got three powerful tools to help you put it all together.  We've identified three personality assessments that give you a clear understanding of how your team members think, feel, and work. Use these in your business, and you'll never wonder how to motivate your team again. You'll gain an engaged, focused workforce that will bring their best energy to work.   Here's a peek this episode: We reveal our own journey with using personality assessments. Why we use personality assessments in our business.  Why it's more productive to focus on strengths than weaknesses.  How it affects a team member to be free to focus on strengths. We reveal our top five strengths.  How knowing a teammate's strengths helps your working relationship.  A clear, concise description of the Enneagram. How knowing your direct report's profile helps you be a better leader. The best metaphor for leading a diverse team to produce results. Author Ian Cron weighs in on the mistakes leaders can make with personality assessments. Why we don't use the Enneagram in our hiring process.  Amy Bruske of Kolbe Corp. answers the question “Why do smart people often have trouble getting things done?” A quick description of the four modes of the Kolbe A Index, which measures how we initiate work. How knowing a person's workstyle helps them excel. How the Kolbe A Index helps you determine whether a person will succeed in the role you're hiring.  What happens when a person is not “hardwired” for the role they're in. Now that you have a handle on these personality instruments, here's what we hope you'll do. Pick one of these and take it yourself. After you become familiar with it, you'll be able to determine when and how to roll it out to your team.  You're going to love this discovery process! Resources from this episode Michael Hyatt & Co.
