Ann Rockley is the author of our newest course on the Firehead Training Academy: Unlock your success, which is all about learning your strengths and how to use them in your content career. In this guest blog post, Ann explains the three aspects of the human mind you can learn to harness to achieve higher results and reach your potential in your professional and personal life.
In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving professional landscape, understanding how your mind works can be a game changer for career growth.
The human mind is divided into three parts: cognitive, affective, and conative. Each plays a unique role in shaping your behavior and interactions, but to truly position yourself for career success, it’s necessary to understand and harness all three.
- The cognitive aspect of the mind deals with knowledge, comprehension, and thinking. It’s the part of your brain that processes information, solves problems, and makes decisions. Enhancing your cognitive abilities through continuous learning and critical thinking can significantly contribute to your professional development. Cognitive assessments include the SAT or Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test
- The affective aspect of the mind encompasses emotions, feelings, values, and attitudes. Emotional intelligence, an offshoot of the affective domain, is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of success in the workplace. It helps you navigate social complexities, lead effectively, and foster positive relationships with colleagues and clients alike. Affective assessments include Working Genius, MyersBriggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI), DISC®, CliftonStrengths or Working Genius
- The conative aspect of the mind pertains to how you use your will to interact with the world. It’s about your natural instincts, your inherent method of operation, and how you naturally tackle tasks and challenges. Understanding this part of your mind can be transformative for your career growth. It’s an often-overlooked assessment that has powerful results. The only Conative assessment tool is the Kolbe assessment and for many the results of this assessment are life-changing
Fully grasping the workings of your mind can reveal untapped potential and guide your career towards lasting success. Kolbe, unlike any other assessment, deciphers your unique work approach and empowers you to amplify your CV, showcasing your strengths and paving the way for your sustainable success.
I’ve used the Kolbe Assessment to hire hundreds of full-time and contract staff for both myself and my clients and built hugely successful content teams. I swear by its success.
Here are some things people have told me about Kolbe:
- “Kolbe combined with Ann’s deep knowledge helped me to improve my understanding of myself and my performance.”
- “The Kolbe results surprised me. I’ve never received results from an assessment that were spot-on like Kolbe.”
- “Kolbe provided us with tangible insights and strategies to help grow the business.”
- “Kolbe goes into far more depth than I’ve ever received from an assessment. It identified how I naturally work and provided concrete advice on my strengths and how to change my concept of perceived weaknesses.”
- “Using the Kolbe Assessment enabled me to understand my natural way of working in a new light!”
Don’t forget, you hold the keys to your career progression.
