Understanding Kolbe Wisdom™

As a Kolbe Certified Consultant, I am trained in Kolbe Wisdom, the only theory focused on how people instinctively take action when free to be themselves. There are three parts of the human mind. Two of them are well known and discussed. The third is the hidden key to improving human performance. I possess expertise in identifying people’s natural talents and helping them utilize those talents to minimize stress while getting more done. I am also equipped with the knowledge to help organizations and teams communicate and collaborate more effectively, reduce turnover and increase engagement through strengths-based actions.

The Conative Mind

 

Simply put, conation drives action. Actions drive performance. To understand how you and others achieve peak performance, you need to understand the conative part of the mind. While philosophers through the centuries discussed the existence of conation, Kathy Kolbe was the first to identify its key attributes and how to measure them.

Four Action Modes®

 

Kolbe’s four Action Modes are the modern breakthrough in understanding and explaining conation. Kathy Kolbe’s key insight was that everyone has a strength in how they operate in each of these Action Modes. Each person’s method of operation, or “MO,” is their strength in that area.
