Kolbe Assessment

The Kolbe Assessment identifies four "action modes": Fact Finder, Follow Thru, Quick Start, and Implementor.


I am a Kolbe Certified™ Consultant! That means I'm trained in Kolbe Wisdom™, the only theory focused on how people instinctively take action when free to be themselves. I possess expertise in identifying people's natural talents and helping them to 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.

At the heart of Kolbe Wisdom™ is the concept of conation — the part of the mind that drives how you naturally solve problems and make decisions. Unlike personality assessments or IQ tests, the Kolbe A™ Index measures how you get things done when you're free to be yourself — explaining why certain work energizes you while other tasks drain you. This focus on instinct, rather than personality or intelligence, is what makes Kolbe uniquely powerful and actionable.

The number one predictor of long-term fit in a role is how well that role aligns with someone's instinctive strengths. This is why Kolbe is so transformative for hiring and team-building. Kolbe RightFit™ software identifies what strengths a job demands and whether a candidate's instinctive approach will make them successful — going far beyond resumes and interviews to help organizations hire the right person for the right role from the start.

As your Kolbe Certified™ Consultant, I have access to the full suite of Kolbe tools and resources to serve you from day one. With offerings ranging from executive leadership development to mergers and acquisitions, Kolbe Certified Consultants are changing the way people do business. Whether you're looking to better understand your own results, strengthen a team, or build a more productive organization, I can guide you through the right Kolbe solutions for your specific goals.

My certification is recognized by professional accreditation bodies, including the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the International Coach Federation (ICF). I am also committed to ongoing growth in this work — maintaining continuing education requirements each year through webinars and Kolbe's annual conference, KolbeCon — so that the guidance I provide always reflects the latest in Kolbe research and application.

Since 1975, Kolbe has helped individuals perform at their best, teams work better together, and leaders make smarter decisions about their people — from Fortune 500 companies to scrappy startups, NBA franchises to independent consultants. I am proud to be part of this mission and to bring the power of Kolbe Wisdom™ to the individuals, teams, and organizations I serve. If you're ready to discover what your instincts can do for you, I'd love to connect.
