Tools for Greater Self Understanding: Individuals and Teams
Whether for personal growth, team development, or conflict transformation, 
we believe in taking the time to learn as much as possible about your own preferences and approach to work. The Kolbe and MBTI are both time-tested and research-proven assessments that offer valuable insights into how you show up in the workplace.
The Kolbe Pure Instinct System® helps you become aware of and validate your natural instincts and unique talents for initiating action, responding to situations, and preventing problems. With this knowledge, teams can assess the instinctive talents of their members and better allocate (or reallocate) tasks to those individuals whose instincts are most suited to their completion. In this way, the Kolbe is an especially powerful tool for building synergistic teams that are effective and efficient in achieving their goals. We also recommend the Kolbe RightFit® for recruiting high potential employees with the “right” instincts to suit the position and the hiring team.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is the most widely used tool in the world for understanding how personality differences affect the way people think, communicate and behave with one another. The indicator is nonjudgmental and allows you to gain an understanding of your motivations and preferences, particularly with respect to your source of mental energy (internally or externally focused), information-gathering approaches, decision-making processes, and general work patterns. Of value to both individuals and teams, the MBTI demonstrates the benefits of including different “personalities” and styles in the workplace.
We facilitate team seminars designed to enhance awareness of your own and others’ preferences and natural instincts for taking action. Each seminar is custom-designed for the specific context of your team or organization. During the seminar, we lead you through a series of self-defining exercises to confirm your self-assessment results (Kolbe or MBTI). We then facilitate additional exercises related to your work environment and experiences, followed by in-depth discussion of the impact of differing instincts and/or preferences on the dynamics of your workplace. In particular, we explore strategies for leveraging your team’s strengths and shoring up any weaknesses.
