They also explore how different Fact Finder strengths can work together in a workplace setting and how you can maximize your Fact Finder strength for more productivity, better communication, and improved collaboration.

Key Quotes
“Just because two people have the same strength or even the exact same number, doesn’t mean they will act the same way. It's going to play out differently because of three parts of the mind.”
- Eric Herrera
“It's good to remember that we have in a general population, just as many Initiating seven, eight, nines and tens in Fact Finder as we do one through threes in Fact Finder. It’s important to get out into the world and see the variety that's out there and help all children find places where they can be successful.”
- Nicole Loucks
“When you get your Kolbe A Index result, you get four numbers. People do tend to sometimes focus on the first one, cause it's the first one, or they focus on one that is their longest line, but all four of your strengths are just as important.”
- Stephanie Clergé
