IT’S WHAT DRIVES YOU, James kevin

Your Kolbe result celebrates your Modes of Operation (MO): 9-7-1-3. It doesn’t have anything to do with what your social style is or how smart you are. It’s how you will and won’t naturally take action.

Kolbe adds a new dimension. Based on wisdom going back to Plato and Aristotle, the Kolbe Theory™ has proven successful with over one million users.

Conables® Tips, individualized for you, will not only help you explain your way of taking action, they will help you control the outcomes. For example:

Conables® Tips


  • Tired of Questions like:
    • Why miss out because you won't take a risk?
      Can't you ever just wing it?
  • How about saying:
    • It’s better for me to miss an opportunity than to make a mistake.
      Sure, I can wing it – but it’s not pretty.

What's so different about the Kolbe Index?

Being a 9-7-1-3 in Kolbe has nothing to do with your personality, social style, or if you are a math whiz. Kolbe Index results deal with a different part of the brain/mind that drives your actions.

Three Parts of the Mind

  • Cognitive

  • Thinking
  • IQ
  • Skills
  • Reason
  • Knowledge
  • Experience
  • Education
  • Conative

  • Doing
  • Drive
  • Instinct
  • Necessity
  • Mental Energy
  • Innate Force
  • Talents
  • Affective

  • Feeling
  • Desires
  • Motivation
  • Attitudes
  • Preferences
  • Emotions
  • Values

Conative?

Action derived from instinct; purposeful mode of striving, volition. It's a conscious effort to carry out self-determined acts.

If conative is a new word for you, join the crowd. It's the long-lost term for one of the most important things you need to know about yourself.

Time & Energy

James kevin Olega

TIME AND ENERGY

Everyone runs out of time and energy.

You can’t get time back – once it’s used, it’s gone – but energy can be renewed.

YOUR PYRAMID OF MENTAL ENERGY

Your 100 “ergs” of mental energy are equal to the energy available to every other human being. This gives you the same potential power as any CEO or rock star.

Pyramid of Energy.

Specify
45%

Systematize
35%

Stabilize
5%

Envision
15%

Each of your 100 ergs has the same intensity - whether it is in the Initiating, ReActing, or CounterActing zone.

Your forte is combining your Fact Finder sense of history with your Follow Thru talent for seeing themes. You use the greatest amount of your energy figuring out the background of a problem and the steps necessary to solve it. That firmly establishes a path that requires the contribution of your other conative strengths to accomplish your best work.

Don’t let anyone stereotype you as contributing or “being” just one of the Action Modes. Your contribution begins with specifying and continues until you stabilize the solution.

Self-manage your use of these limited, but renewable, resources. Use them purposefully and they will bring joy to your life.

TRUSTING YOUR SENSE OF TIME

It’s tough to allocate your time, especially when no one but Kolbe has explained the role of your conative assets.

You use time according to your MO. So forget time management advice that doesn’t take it into consideration. Everyone has an equal amount of conative energy, used in differing amounts and orders. You use it in your particular order and percentages per mode.

When free to use your strengths:

1. You’ll start the problem solving process by fact checking and determining practical and appropriate priorities.
2. Next you create a plan of attack.
3. Then, you visualize solutions.
4. Finally, James kevin, you advocate for what needs to stay the same.

If you work against your grain, you’ll never have “enough” time. You will squander it by taking non-productive paths.

GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME.

We can't give you more time, but we have proven leveraging your conative strengths can more than double your productivity.

Here are some ways you can get the multiplier effect from your MO of 9-7-1-3.

Conables® Tips


  • Commit–but to very little. Target your top priorities. Unlike time, you can replenish conative energy, but it takes downtime to do it.
  • Save time by not working on details that don’t fit into the big picture.
  • Check off tasks that need your best efforts before you use up energy on the small stuff.
  • Self-Provoke to get where you want to go. You’re responsible for goading yourself to initiate necessary action.

Get Conative, James kevin!

Set priorities and allocate time for the top three or four, making sure you have gathered appropriate resources and background information.

Conables® Tips


Because most of the world hasn't recognized conation, you may actually have been taught ways of taking action that are absolutely wrong for you.

The truth is you need to guard the status quo while striving for positive change.

A good way to start your day is to zero in on the top priorities and get them done first.

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

Conables® Tips


You’re likely to procrastinate if you don’t have all the pieces to the puzzle.

When you need to be persuasive in an unfamiliar situation, find ways to narrow the possibilities.

You may be acting against your grain without even knowing it. When we work against our grain, we are not only unhappy but also unproductive, wasting our time on things that require too much energy. Instead of robbing yourself of your valuable time and energy, modify the things you need to do so that you can accomplish them in your own way.

COMMUNICATION & RELATIONSHIPS

Communication is at the Heart of a Relationship

Communication involves Action, ReAction, CounterAction and InterAction. Of course, emotions cause the desire to communicate while thoughts provide the content. However it’s your conative instincts that drive how it plays out.

If you aren’t communicating through your conative strengths, you are likely to come across as acting out of character or not being authentic.

We’re taught that there is a “right way” to do things. Our essays have the same structure and our resumes look like we’ve all had the same experiences.

How can you be true to who you are, and win approval too? We give you individualized Conables Tips for communicating in your own way without turning other people off.

“If you get out of kilter with your MO, how do you expect others to “get” who you are?”
Kathy Kolbe

It’s Not Just What You Say, It’s How You Say It

Conables® Tips


Remember the time there was a problem and you were the only person around with enough information to help figure out what caused it? That’s your forte. When that’s what is needed, you’re the hero. When what’s needed is a simple reply, you may go on too long. Beware of causing other’s eyes to glaze over.

You’re at your very best when you document information and add graphic elements. It would be great if you knew the Kolbe MO of those with whom you communicate so you can judge when they are likely to reach information overload.

James kevin, Communicate Your Way

Conables® Tips


  • Your instincts won't change with age. Be obstinate with people who expect you to conform to age stereotypes – or any other kind of stereotype.
  • Position yourself as an expert. State your case with examples.
  • Don't hesitate to put up the “Do Not Disturb” sign! Others can throw your day off kilter by disrupting your schedule.

WIN–WIN RELATIONSHIPS

There is no perfect combination of Kolbe results for relationships. The ideal spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, colleague or friend will respect your conative truth and allow you the freedom to be yourself.

“Trying to avoid conflict between people with strong conative differences is impossible. No use pretending – it will come out sooner or later. Discussing the differences doesn’t resolve them. It involves them. It turns a clash of wills into a meeting of the minds. You are impelled to act according to your instincts, but you can’t compel others to respond the same way.”
Conative Connection by Kathy Kolbe

People trust what they sense comes from your conative truths.


Conative action never happens in isolation from the other two parts of the mind, the affective and cognitive.

Communication & Relationships

Your Kolbe A Result Chart

You can improve relationships by understanding similarities and differences in your conative MOs.

In situations with someone who is pretty much your conative clone, you might be able to finish each other’s sentences, but it could also lead to: inertia in what you do together or competition for who could do things better or more than the other.

Conables® Tips


When working with someone whose MO is similar to your own:

  • Avoid getting stuck in your shared methods by bringing in others with diverse approaches.
  • Don’t evaluate others by what works best for both of you. For instance, when parents think kids should do things the same way they do them, it often leads to false expectations.

In situations with a person who has very different conative strengths than you do, you can benefit from the resulting Synergy, or the differences can cause conflict and stress.

Conables® Tips


When working with someone whose MO is very different than yours:

  • For you, togetherness may mean doing different things in the same room.
  • Don’t try to get the other person to work toward shared goals the same way you do.

Career Considerations

Look for Opportunities to Contribute Your Conative Strengths

James kevin, you do your best work when you strive according to your MO. You're most likely to succeed in jobs that use your conative strengths according to each of the Action Modes.

Elaborate, compute, document, substantiate, validate
Sequence, classify, coordinate, integrate, codify
Establish, conform, perpetuate, anchor, institutionalize
Conceptualize, symbolize, imagine, virtualize, visualize

Finding Careers that Give You the Freedom to Be Yourself

You have many strengths that could contribute to an organization.

In job interviews, people often say things they think employers want to hear. Yet if they get a job based upon false promises, they usually become frustrated and regret having to live up to them.

Finding a job that lets you use your natural strengths is a formula for success.

It pays to be truthful in promoting your MO

Conables® Tips


  • In the early stages of a career, you may need extra-curricular activities that allow you to Initiate Action. Be sure that long-term career choices lead to opportunities to take Initiative.
  • When considering a specific career, see if you can find out the MOs of those who are successful in that role.
