- Kevin’s Recognition & Impact
A Globally Recognized Thought Leader
As he struggles to understand the complexities of his bad decisions, an ever-widening web of conspiracy and corruption is revealed. But it’s not the legal conspiracy of the largest stock fraud in the history of Washington state, involving some of the biggest names in sports or the enigmatic FBI – it’s a conspiracy of the mind. It’s a battle with the most nefarious enemy of all: our own blind spots.

As the visionary behind the Blind Spot Assessment since 2016, my unique approach to Human behavior analysis, blending cognitive psychology with DISC principles, has transformed practices in organizations worldwide. This innovation stems from a transformative life event and over two decades of dedicated study in cognitive psychology, particularly focusing on unconscious biases and their effects on communication, decision-making, and relationships.
My in-depth understanding of DISC, enhanced by advanced training with Dr. Mels Carbonell—a protégé of DISC founder Dr. John Geier—has been pivotal. My cognitive psychology insights and DISC expertise culminated in authoring the bestselling “Blind Spots – Why Good People Make Bad Choices,” “Developing a Self-Aware Culture,” co-creating with Dr. Tony Alessandra the “Unlocking the People Puzzle” series and crafting an innovative five-month leadership course.
As a sought-after keynote speaker, I’ve engaged diverse audiences internationally, including prestigious groups like the Association of Government Accountants and leading corporations such as Lennox and Frito-Lay. At the helm of Blind Spots Global, I lead a dynamic team, offering a spectrum of services in speaking, training, coaching, consulting, and assessments to both individual and organizational clients.
