Kolbe changes the dialogue. Kolbe Tips, individualized for you, explain how each number in an Action Mode isa strength - if you take control of leveraging this innate ability. For example:

You prevent getting boxed in by staying open to alternatives.Your ability to adapt your plans helps you take advantage of opportunities.

Your Kolbe result celebrates your Modes of Operation (MO): 4-3-6-7. Understanding and trusting thispowerful force will give you the freedom to be yourself.

Only about 5% of people are as good as you are at what you naturally do best. Don't exhaust time and energytrying to change your MO; instead, discover how you can take charge of putting your natural strengths to gooduse.

What's so different about the Kolbe Index?

David, it's what drives youBeing a 4-3-6-7 in Kolbe has nothing to do with whether you are an introvertor extrovert, or a math whiz. Kolbe Index results deal with a different part ofthe mind than your personality or intelligence.

DAVID DEMBINSKI

4-3-6-7

Everyone has 100% of conative energy, represented here as a pyramid with100 units (ergs) of potential effort.

At the top of your pyramid are ergs thecolor of the Action Mode you use first intaking action. Other modes followaccording to the percentage of energy youhave available in them. Everyone has anequal amount of conative energy.

David, here's the percentage in eachAction Mode of your total available mentalenergy. This is also the approximatepercentage of time you'll spend makingefforts in each mode when you are mostproductive. 99% of people do not havemore than 50% of their energy in any onemode.

PYRAMID OF ENERGY

20% Fact Finder - deals with the PAST15% Follow Thru - involves PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE30% Quick Start - targets the FUTURE35% Implementor - deals with the HERE-AND-NOW

You spend 35% of your time and energy dealing with the present through your Implementor mode. You rendersolutions that preserve and protect the quality of the here-and-now. You also add-in a spark of adventure withyour Quick Start inclination to get involved in futuristic possibilities.

David, you will get more done in less timewhen you leverage your MO of 4-3-6-7.Thoughts and emotions can emerge in a blink - without yourcontrol. You can control the instinctive energy it takes to acton impulses.

Everyone has equal, yet limited, time and conative - orinstinct-driven - energy. Commit–but to very little. Targetyour top priorities. Unlike time, you can replenish conativeenergy, but it takes downtime to do it.

You have an instinct to act sooner or later, urgently orcautiously. That’s what determines your MO. Here are KolbeTips, individualized for you, for controlling the use of thesenatural abilities. This is not "cookie cutter" advice that’srepeated for everyone. If others followed the advice intendedfor you, they would exhaust themselves and have little toshow for their efforts.

Kolbe Tips

Improvise immediately ratherthan paying attention to old-fashioned ways of doingthings.Stay energized by tackling avariety of projects thatshowcase your leading-edgeapproach.Self-Provoke to get where youwant to go. You often have togoad yourself to initiate theaction you desire.

More than an assessment tool, these results prescribe ways to build onconative strengths

David, you can kick your MO into gear (or "Get Conative" )when you...

get your tools, start the engines, and size up the space.

Because most of the world hasn't recognized conation, youmay actually have been taught what's absolutely wrong foryou. The truth is you need to...

skip from one thing to the next without finishing whatyou start.

A good way to start your day is to...

find out what information others need from you duringthe day–and get it moving.

Kolbe Tips

You're likely to procrastinate if youhave to follow a highly structuredformat or system.

When you need to be persuasive inan unfamiliar situation, ask thought-provoking questions and play off theanswers. Sincerity in your opinionswill lead to dynamic dialogue.

You may be acting against your grain without even knowing it. When we work against our grain, we are notonly unhappy but also unproductive, wasting our time on things that require too much energy. Instead ofrobbing yourself of your valuable time and energy, modify the things you need to do so that you canaccomplish them in your own way.

Don't just take our word for it; try it! You may surprise yourself with how much you can get done, and by hownatural it feels.

lacks substanceseems flimsydoes not demonstrate how it would take place in real lifeis too fanciful and wouldn't hold up well over time

Communicating requiresconsideration of the otherperson's MO, emotions, andlevel of understanding.

Conative action neverhappens in isolation fromthe other two parts of themind, the affective andcognitive.

David, you have charisma when you act as the authentic you, communicating through your natural conativestrengths. People trust what they sense comes from your conative truths.

Kolbe Tips

While you intuitively pick up information through body language, it is important to recognize others mayneed a more structured written response from you. Try accomplishing this by audio recording yourthoughts or bartering with others who will make notes as you are in motion.

Whether in a group meeting or a one-on-one conversation, you are unlikely to sit still for long, and willprobably "fiddle" with things in your hands while sitting. Explain this as a natural tendency and seek anunderstanding that will limit the distractions you may otherwise cause.

Have others prepare handouts for your demonstrations.

Your instincts won't change with age. Be obstinate with people who expect you to conform to age-group stereotypes.

Others can throw your day off kilter by requiring that you stick with a schedule. Don't be timid aboutsharing with others what you need!

David, enhance relationships. Reinforce instinctive needs and strengths. Conative action neverhappens in isolation from the other two parts of the mind, the affective and cognitive. Communicatingrequires consideration of the other person's MO, emotions, and level of understanding.

Communicating in your true conative character attracts others to you.
