    Certified Kolbe Consultant trained in utilizing the Kolbe Theory to assist in individual, team, and leadership projects. There are 3 parts of the mind, generally we hear about the cognitive assessments or IQ tests, or affective assessments such as the MBTI, I specialize in using the Kolbe Theory which assesses the conative part of the mind, this is our natural instincts which can not change. Understanding how someone naturally will "do"; understanding one's approach, why do some people want all of the facts and details and others the summary? Understanding you mode of action can help a individual to know their natural strengths and stay focused on what they are most efficient and energized by. I work with teams to look at synergy and functionality, individuals, we can utilize this in performance management, hiring, and so many ways - the KOLBE approach is the KEY to success - It is a no brainer!
