For more than 30 years, Rob Dube has been thriving as a purpose-driven entrepreneur and thought leader.

His longtime business partner is Gino Wickman, founder of EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System.

Rob and Gino’s new book, “Shine,” lays out a plan they say can radically transform who you are in the workplace. How? By following ten disciplines that maximize your energy, impact, and—wait for it—inner peace.

That’s right. These guys genuinely believe that you can be very driven and as equally at peace as an entrepreneur.

They also believe that winning the game of work isn’t about grinding hard and burning out. Quite the opposite: it’s about self-discovery, self-awareness, and leading with genuine care (which happens to be the name of Rob’s podcast).

Have you ever heard of the Kolbe Index? It’s a unique assessment that measures how people naturally take action to solve problems and achieve goals.

Companies and organizations use the Kolbe to hire and build teams and to understand people in the workplace better.

The assessment was developed by and is named after creator Kathy Kolbe, who comes from a famous family in the assessment world.

Her father, E.F. Wonderlic, developed an intelligence test in the 1930s that’s been used for decades by the military and even the NFL.

Today, the Kolbe Corporation is owned and operated by Kathy Kolbe’s son, David, and step-daughter Amy Bruske. It’s clear the Kolbe is here to stay, and there’s even a version for kids.

Amy says the mission at Kolbe is to make sure people can use their strengths to find joy because when that happens, work doesn’t feel like work.

Welcome to Contributors Corner. On the show this month, “Unlocking Your True Potential” with Dr. Stel Nikolakakis.

Dr. Nik has developed an innovative movement to empower and transform leaders of every kind.

His coaching guides people through a process of reframing challenges, embracing new perspectives, and unlocking hidden solutions.

What if we all could see setbacks as opportunities? What if we saw every challenge as a gift, a path to growth and developing new abilities? What if we spent time in self-reflection every day to see things in their proper perspective?

Dr. Nik says that when we do these things, we can create a powerful new narrative that will pay dividends in all areas of our lives.
