EMPOWER YOUR STRENGTH
KOLBE COACHING
The Kolbe System™ analyzes the way people act with purpose and provides strategies to improve individual and group performance. As a certified (Kolbe Certified™) consultant, I have the tools, training and expertise to help team leaders, HR departments and individuals recognize their individual, natural strengths and solution-oriented skills and talents. This will enable you and your team to competently and confidently meet the challenges of the future in the rapidly changing world of work.
WHY KOLBE?
Do you sometimes have the feeling that you are not making use of your strengths with energy and passion – whether at work or in your private life?
Does your environment recognize your strengths, or do you recognize the strengths of your team members and partners?
Are you really using the potential of your team well enough?
STRENGTHS AND TEAM COUNSELING
Even if we ourselves know where our strengths and talents lie, we are often still several steps away from embracing and living them. I am very grateful to my friends for introducing me to the Kolbe Profile in 2009 – my first reaction at that time was: What can the Kolbe Assessment that other profiles can’t? Some profile results were already lying in some of my filing cabinets – none of these results had fascinated me so much until then that I was enthusiastic to learn more about them. With Kolbe, this was about to change completely, because it defines completely different areas in the human brain than other indicators on the market.
According to Kathy Kolbe, who developed Kolbe Theory and Profile, ‘success’ means ‘the freedom to be me/yourself’. I followed this freedom to Phoenix/Arizona in 2014, where I completed the Kolbe Consultant certification in cooperation with Kim White Coaching. With great passion and as a member of the European Network of Kolbe Certified™ Consultants, I have been supporting ever since international clients to efficiently use and live their instinctive ways of acting and problem-solving skills.
THE KOLBE METHOD
The Kolbe ATM Index measures four instinctive patterns of behavior, or Action Modes®, which determine an individual’s natural method of problem solving:
Fact Finder (ways of gathering and sharing information)
Follow Thru (ways of arranging information and designing)
Quick Start (ways of dealing with risk and innovation)
Implementor (ways of handling space, materials and tools).
Kathy Kolbe (Phoenix/Arizona) is a world leader in human instincts research and developed, among other things, the Kolbe Index some 30 years ago. Kolbe Conation™- Theory is based on the concept that human instincts are drivers of our productive actions.
WHAT KOLBE IS AND ISN’T
The Kolbe Index is neither a personality profile nor an ‘intelligence test’. Referring to the three different ways of functioning of the human mind, the Kolbe result provides a result for the ‘Conative – instinctive action area’ and is therefore the only profile on the market that can ‘measure’ and represent this area in the mind. In the HR-development it is recommended to use complementary profiles that map the cognitive and affective area of the human mind. The Kolbe result is independent of gender, origin and age.
