I believe that if you took the Kolbe™ index and it was interpreted to you by a certified consultant, you are very likely to have remembered this information. The MOMENT OF REALIZATION about your true instincts would not easily be forgotten unless perhaps you were in the middle of a crisis of some kind.

There are several other popular tools that have been used in businesses and organizations, but this is more than just a questionnaire that you filled out one day.

Some of these tools have four factors in the interpretation, and some use color coding for your results. The Kolbe instruments are different because they are an evidence- based assessment system that helps you discover the strengths you have which are unchanging. This enables you to play to your strengths in a way that gives you full awareness and confidence in yourself and in your team.

The Kolbe System™ also contains tools that help you to understand and reshape everything from your relationships... to your relationship to money..to your career planning... to your project planning... to your long-term business planning... even to your understanding of your children and your goals for retirement.

Kathy Kolbe has spent three decades doing what many theorists have done; that is, observing and documenting in great detail the actions of human beings. She was not confined to "conventional wisdom". Because of her innovative "outside-the-box" brilliance and attention to detail, she was able to codify something that has been written about since the times of ancient Greece. She did not have to answer to any committee or "higher authority" during the process of refining the theory and the assessments. She has used expert consultants every step of the way to verify her methods and her results. Kathy has developed exacting processes of establishing reliability and validity. Studies have consistently found these values to be extremely high. The test-retest reliability findings are especially remarkable. A thorough presentation of all completed research is available online in the Statistical Handbook, which is available on the Kolbe website.

Consultation is a competitive business. Consultants are often viewed as gurus who automatically stay current and have access to all the most useful approaches. If your consultant is not aware of this approach or dismisses it in conversation, give me a call and she will be happy to discuss this with you further so you can decide for yourself.

This approach to consultation will be accomplished in a stepwise fashion. The full power for organizations is in the full use of the Kolbe System™. The first step, however, is simply to meet with me, who will give an initial presentation as well as providing indexes to the top decision-maker(s) involved. After that, recommendations for follow-up will be discussed.
