Welcome to our latest newsletter for PI key users, designed to keep you informed and empowered with the latest updates, resources, and industry insights tailored to enhance your Predictive Index subscription.
Did you know Talent Optimizers has a YouTube channel?
Our channel, PI Hacks, is all about bringing the power of the Predictive Index to life with practical tips, strategies, and insights you can use right away.
The idea came from one of our own strategic planning sessions (yes, we practice what we preach—eating our own dog food and drinking our own champagne 🍾).
While starting a YouTube channel didn’t rank high on our PIE framework prioritization, (where we rank initiatives on a scale of 1-10 in categories of potential, importance, ease) we realized it was the perfect way to tap into Damon Clark’s behavioral strengths.
Just like in your organizations, leaders often feel behavioral stretch—balancing what comes naturally with what’s required of the role. That’s why PI is so powerful: it helps us measure and manage that stretch for stronger leadership, better teamwork, and more consistent results. Learn more about Behavioral Stretch here (Self and Self Concept)
As a true Maverick, Damon thrives when he’s innovating, taking on new challenges, and shaking up the status quo. Creating content for PI Hacks helps balance out the tasks where he feels drained due to behavioral stretch and lets him channel his natural energy into something that not only fuels his own drive, but also supports our mission of helping clients unlock the full potential of talent optimization.
👉 Here’s how you can help: Subscribe to PI Hacks on YouTube, like a few videos, and share the channel with your colleagues. Every subscriber helps us extend the reach of the PI mission: Better Work, Better World.
We’ve built an entire library of content—including a deep dive into the 4 Primary Factors—so there’s plenty to explore. Click the image below to check out the channel and start watching!

Diagnose Update
We are into the fall survey season and it's not too late to take a more strategic, action-oriented approach to employee engagement.
The Predictive Index has just launched Diagnose 2—an upgraded engagement platform built for HR leaders and executives who want to do more than just measure engagement.
What's included with Diagnose 2.0
- Track your company’s overall engagement health and get recommendations on how to improve it.
- Measure each employee’s sentiment about their job, manager, team, and organization, and get a detailed report that shows exactly where engagement is strongest or weakest.
- Pick from a range of surveys, each validated for measuring engagement, and get accurate readouts you can rely on.
- See how your engagement data stacks up to similar companies based on 25,000 industry benchmarks.
Why upgrade your approach to engagement?
Strategic Integration: Diagnose ties engagement directly to hiring, team design, leadership, and execution—so you're not just gathering data, you're driving strategy.
Science-Based Insights: PI Diagnose targets root causes of disengagement using validated behavioral science before issues hit your bottom line.
Actionable for Managers: Manager-ready playbooks and pulse survey data turn insights into immediate action.
Benchmarks & Trends: Track progress, spot patterns, and compare across teams and industries.
The old model—one big survey, once a year, with generic action items—doesn’t work.
With Diagnose 2, you’ll get real-time visibility, team-level precision, and a clear path forward to a stronger, more engaged workforce.
Contact Talent Optimizers for current Pricing and offers.
