Definition of success: the freedom to be yourself

Discover your instinctive way of acting

The Kolbe A Index reveals your natural, instinctive way of taking action. For example, you'll discover whether you thrive under pressure, communicate best through detailed information, or prefer to focus on the bigger picture. Understanding these tendencies — in yourself and others — leads to clearer, more effective communication. How exactly? That’s what we’ll explore in this workshop.

Uncover your modus operandi (M.O.)

Are you seeking a new challenge but unsure of how you naturally operate? The Kolbe A Index helps you identify your Modus Operandi (M.O.) — your instinctive way of doing things. It includes four action modes, each scored from 1 to 10, showing how you approach tasks in each area. The Kolbe model doesn’t label behaviors as right or wrong, nor does it focus on weaknesses. You're already enough as you are.

Why working with your strengths matters

When people align their work with their conative strengths, they tend to be both happier and more productive — a win-win for both employee and employer. Your M.O. reflects how you take action, not your intelligence or personality. These conative traits are innate and unchanging. Think of a cat: every cat instinctively knows how to catch a mouse, yet each has its own personality.

Find roles that fit you

The Kolbe A Index can also help you target roles where you're most likely to succeed. People who regularly work against their natural instincts are more prone to stress over time.
