Born to Procrastinate: An 8-1-7-6 Kolbe A Index Result Unpacked | Private Sessions

from Powered by Instinct · host Kolbe Corp

Ava is a college student killing it on the debate team and eyeing law school, but she puts everything off until the last minute, and she has been told her whole life that it is a flaw. She’s majoring in national security and intelligence, the one who takes over every group project and wrote a 20,000 word paper in the final two weeks. So why does her best work keep showing up at the last minute?In this episode of Powered by Instinct: Private Sessions, David Kolbe (CEO of Kolbe Corp) reads Ava's Kolbe A™ Index result out loud for the first time. He starts with her Natural Advantage™, Multitasking Hero, then breaks down the full result one Action Mode® at a time, and gives her the advice no teacher ever would: she should procrastinate, because pressure is how she is built to work. By the end, a lifetime of last-minute guilt starts to look like a strength she was never taught to use.Curious about your instinctive strengths?
