“The Kolbe assessment is a powerful tool that identifies an individual’s natural strengths and instincts, focusing on how they naturally take action and solve problems. Unlike traditional tests, it measures the conative part of the mind—how people "do" rather than what they know or feel. This unique insight makes it invaluable for career planning, as it aligns a person’s inherent abilities with potential career paths. By understanding these strengths, individuals and parents can make informed decisions, setting a clear and fulfilling direction for future success over and above Rugby.”
-Tia Brown, Rugby Player
” I am grateful to Angela and the Kolbe for helping me understand my strengths. Since I was ten, I have wanted to be a New Zealand Black Ferns Rugby Player, and I still do. However, when I was 17, I suffered a serious sports injury. I dislocated my knee, tore my PCL, and fractured my tibia. After two years of rehabilitation, I am finally back playing rugby. Those two years were hard times for me, and I didn’t have a focus in my life apart from rugby. After talking to Angela and taking the Kolbe A Index, she made me realise I have skills I didn’t even know I had. She’s given me some great ideas on career paths that I will now pursue. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.”
