Powered by Instinct - The Book
If there is one question that Kathy's asked at every
meeting she attends, it's "When's the next book coming
out?" Those privileged to attend a preview
presentation on May 1 learned that a new book will hit
the stores in October. This much-anticipated work
is titled Powered by Instinct: 5 Rules for
Trusting Your Guts and speaks to the
pressures and anxieties of the times.
With such rules as "Act - before You Think" and "Be
Obstinate", what reader would not be intrigued to know
more? Which of us would not embrace a rule that
exhorts us to "Do Nothing - when Nothing Works"?
An ambitious book tour and promotional
appearances are planned to make sure the widest
possible audience will be exposed to the message.
While you may not have been present for the sneak
preview, Kathy would like to extend a similar offer to all
our email readers that was extended at that time.

Annual Professional Growth Seminar (PGS)
The thirteenth annual PGS took place in Tempe, Arizona
on May 1-2. This yearly gathering is the
mutual acknowledgement that delivering Kolbe services
requires an annual commitment to continuing
education. It's clear that while the foundation of the
Kolbe philosophy is rock solid, the offerings and
applications are constantly evolving and
licensed consultants need to work to keep up to date.
Participants this year saw evidence that the Kolbe
Concept® is not limited to focusing on human
performance through the conative dimension alone, but
rather is the complete integration of all three parts of
the mind. This point is best-illustrated through
Kathy Kolbe's work on the Dynamynd®, which
proved to be one of the best received topics offered
over the two days. Said one regular attendee "An 'aha'
happened with Dynamynd this year."
Quotes such as "the best of the PGS
sessions I have attended" was heard among
the participants. Most went away commenting on
Kathy's passion and the powerful way this sharing
experience built their own self-esteem and reenergized
them to share the Kolbe message with a broader
audience.
For those consultants who were unable to attend this
year, we will contact you with options for alternative
work sessions that will keep your licensed status
current. Dates for next year's PGS are set for May
6-7, 2004, so mark your calendars now.

Question for Kathy Kolbe
Question: I've been impressed with the ease of usage
of your Kolbe RightFit™ program for screening
candidates for hire. I'm convinced our company ought
to be using the program, but my boss is a stickler for
doing things right. He's insisting on seeing some
evidence that the instrument has been properly
validated for selection. How can I get something to
substantiate that?
Answer: We're happy to provide you with the
information you need and to work with you to satisfy
your boss that we've done our homework. We feel
so confident in our data that much of it is published
on both of our websites in the Kolbe Statistical
Handbook. Information found on pages 9-11 and
17-21 will show that the Kolbe A™ Index, when
used in conjunction with the Kolbe C™ Index,
creates a valid selection process.
Answers to numerous questions can be found in the
Kolbe Statistical Handbook. Take a few minutes to
peruse the handbook to get a feel for the depth of
information available. Whenever there is a question
regarding the validity of the Kolbe process, this is the
first place to look for documentation.

Insight into the Implementor
We're often told that understanding the Implementor's
special talents is difficult for those people who create
in more abstract ways. Consider this comment from
pages 92-93 of the book Caramelo by Sandra
Cisneros. The description is of the work of a shawl
maker, where the artistry comes from tying knots
together macram� style.
"Guillermina's signature design, with its intricate knots
looped into interlocking figure eights, took one hundred
and forty-six hours to complete, but if you asked her
how she did it, she'd say, 'How should I know? It's my
hands that know, not my head.'"
Does that help you understand an Insistent
Implementor?
