Rethinking Imposter Syndrome: A 7-5-4-3 Kolbe A Index, Unpacked | Private Sessions

from Powered by Instinct

Tron Smith is thriving on paper, but she's quietly battling imposter syndrome. She works at Airbnb, runs her own rental staging company on the side, and her coworkers call her Professor Tron. So why does someone this capable still doubt herself? In this Private Session, David Kolbe (CEO of Kolbe Corp) reads Tron's Kolbe A™ Index result out loud for the first time. He starts with her Natural Advantage™, Answer Authority, then breaks down the full result one Action Mode® at a time. As he interprets it, her self-doubt starts to look more like a misread of her own instincts than a sign she doesn't belong. Tron's Natural Advantage: Answer Authority Tron's full Kolbe A Index result: 7 in Fact Finder 5 in Follow Thru 4 in Quick Start 3 in Implementor This session breaks down what each number means, why those strengths show up everywhere from her sales pitches to her team meetings, and how to work with your instincts instead of against them. Curious about yours?
