The Three Assessments That Reveal Your Unique Ability®

19 minutes

Discovering your Unique Ability® starts with self-awareness—and the right language. In this episode, Julia Waller breaks down the three core assessments used in The Unique Ability® Discovery Process: Kolbe, CliftonStrengths®, and PRINT®. Together, these tools illuminate how you take action, what you’re naturally motivated to do, and why you do it at the deepest level. This episode offers a clear, compassionate road map for understanding yourself—and others—more fully.

Kolbe shows how you take action when you care.
CliftonStrengths reveals what talents you use to create results.
