He was instantly mesmerized by the Predictive Index Survey’s ability to predict performance. By 1993, Mike was supporting PI Certified Managers across the globe. Mike has observed thousands of PI Trained Managers begin the transition to true leaders in their organizations by adjusting their performance behaviors. Tuning into one’s performance behaviors requires understanding of those behaviors and having a clear perspective on the Fits and Gaps with one’s ambition.

Kellie joined the Predictive Group in 2016 after I graduating from Arizona State University with an emphasis in Business Management. During my first 2 ½ years in the business, I was a part of the Shared Services team and was able to support and consult with clients on all their business needs.
Life then brought me to Dallas, TX where I worked within a hospitality technology company in a sales enablement and learning development role. I was able to globally train and develop all the incoming and current sales reps within the business. During my time there, I was able to utilize PI and fell back in love with the value the tool can bring to organizations.
I Found that my passion with PI was something I wanted to pursue on a more permanent basis and I am excited to continue to share the value human analytic tools can bring to all organizations.
