Kolbe™ Certified Consulting
Help People “Do More, More Naturally”. Put the Right People in the Right Seats.
Kolbe™ for Financial Advisors & Advisory Teams
Most assessments measure personality (how you feel) or intelligence (what you know). The Kolbe A™ Assessment is fundamentally different. It measures the conative part of the mind—your instinctual, natural method of taking action, solving problems, and getting things done.
In a fast-paced business or organization, conative stress is the silent killer of productivity. When team members are forced to work against their natural conative instincts (e.g., a detail-oriented implementer forced into quick-start sales activity), burnout and operational inefficiencies skyrocket. Kolbe™ Certified consulting eliminates this friction by identifying and aligning conative strengths.
The Three Parts of the Mind
Thinking (IQ)
Skills, knowledge, reason, and experience.
Feeling (EQ)
Personality, values, desires, and motivation.
Doing (Kolbe™)
Instincts, natural action modes, and execution patterns.

Maximize Team Productivity & ROI
Aligning conative strengths allows firms to achieve scalable growth without adding administrative complexity or team burnout.
Hiring & Role Fit
Ensure you hire the right fit from the start. By comparing a candidate's conative index with the requirements of the job description, you eliminate guessing and avoid costly bad hires.
Team Alignment
Place your team members in roles that play to their natural strengths. When advisors and staff execute in their conative zones, productivity surges and frustration drops.
