How can understanding your conative strengths (instinctive patterns) can help you live a successful life. Kathy Kolbe discusses the Kolbe Index and we break down what the different styles are and how each of us is unique in our own way with our own set of values to contribute to the world.
What is your MO? I am a Quick Start.

Hello Kathy! I enjoyed listening to this interview. This is such great information as it is crucial for us to know how we as human beings operate. The explanations of each individual’s conative strenghts helped me to understand my own patterns. I am an 8 in QuickStart. In my everyday life, whether in school, work or social life, I am quick to jump to a conclusion! I already know what works for me. Sometimes I have this crazy idea for a school project, but I just go for it as I don’t mind risk. We have these natural behaviors that we are born with. Who would want to change them? It is who we are and I am so glad I had the opportunity to take the Kolbe A. I will be using the my results in relation to my professional life. Thank you!
Briana, I am glad that Kathy’s explanation of each conative strength helped. Like I said until I spoke with Kathy I was a bit perplexed on my 2 score for Implementor. Now it makes sense to me. I love to build, just not physical objects, but ideas, vision.
Thanks for listening to the show.
Thank you so much for this fantastic radio station. I recently did this test and have found it a little tricky to fully understand my numbers. This really helped get better insight and prompted me to research more. I also love the name of your show! Thanks for putting yourself out there! You’ve inspired me to keep figuring it out!
Hi Tanya,
I am right there with you about understanding my numbers. It was great to have Kathy go through my numbers with me so I could better understand what they all meant. I was resisting my implementer number, but now I get it!
thought I’d mention the enneagram too! im a true 7, my life quest is often to remind myself to focus on 1 thing………..found this an amazing tool as well.
