Kolbe, DISC, and the Power of Knowing Yourself
Welcome back to The Cnesta Perspective with Kevin Fitzpatrick — a podcast that explores leadership, self-awareness, and the power of purposeful growth.
In this solo reflection, Kevin dives deep into one of the most overlooked drivers of success: you — not the professional role, not the résumé, but the person behind it all. Drawing insights from his time at the Kolbe Performance Coaching Seminar, Kevin breaks down how understanding the three parts of the mind — Cognitive, Affective, and Conative — can unlock your true leadership potential and drive real results.
This episode challenges you to pause the daily grind, look in the mirror, and ask: Am I leading from my strengths or fighting against them?
🔥 What You’ll Learn
- Why self-awareness is the foundation of sustainable leadership
- The three parts of the human mind — and why Kolbe focuses on the one most leaders ignore
- How your striving instincts define what you will and won’t do under pressure
- The difference between personality and behavior — and how to flex both with intention
- How to use tools like Kolbe and Take Flight DISC to increase communication, engagement, and retention
- Why being the best version of “you” drives ROI for your company, your team, and your family
💡 “If I look at that assessment, I got this. I can leverage my strengths, increase my communication, and drive the top and bottom line — simply by being a better me.” — Kevin Fitzpatrick
