Breaking down the three parts of the mind, David explains how the conative—or doing—part of the mind can be traced all the way back to the ancient philosopher Plato and why everyone should know their unique natural instincts so they can approach problem-solving in the most efficient and effective way.

You'll learn whether there is an ideal financial planner candidate profile, as well as how organizations can use the Kolbe tools and methodology to improve hiring, develop training and career paths, and reduce turnover.
