Communications and Public Speaking: Your Pattern Predicts your Path

Introduction to the Kolbe Theory™

Ancient philosophers and modern psychologists share the concept of a three-part mind with separate domains for thinking, feeling, and doing. The conative, or doing, part contains the striving instincts that drive a person's natural way of taking action, or modus operandi (MO). This is the unique set of innate strengths and talents every person has which remains unchanged from birth. Everyone has an equal amount of conative energy for engaging the thinking (cognitive) and feeling (affective) parts of the mind to produce purposeful action.

The most important word you've never heard of... Conation is action derived from instinct; purposeful mode of striving, volition. It is a conscious effort to carry out self-determined acts.

The Latin 'conatus', from which conation is derived, is defined as "any natural tendency, impulse, or directed effort.

"Kolbe Wisdom™ and conation identify the nature of creative instincts and enable individuals to unleash the boundless power of their own natural instincts, their MOs, to:

• Improve personal productivity
• Enrich relationships
• Become effective parents
• Launch rewarding careers

How are Kolbe Indexes Different from Other Assessments? Mental assessments look at different parts of the human mind. The Kolbe Indexes are the only validated tests that look at conation, evaluating the instinctive talents you were born with – identifying the way you take ACTION.

*There IS a third part of the mind

*You cannot change the way you work

*Save time and energy and increase productivity

their natural abilities.
As a proven Speaker and Trainer who can guide you to address how you solve
problems, the questions to motivate you, and what will stress you out, you’ve come to
the right place.
Gail’s work has impacted lives, such as Sonia, a business owner who always felt on the
verge of a nervous breakdown. Once she learned about her strengths and the equally
powerful strengths of her employees, she slowly watched the stress level go down. And
Andrew, a financial consultant with barely enough time in the day, learned how to
leverage his strengths to gain energy and clarity for what he needs to make his best
decisions.
What really excites Gail Swift about her work is knowing that every single person is
created with a pattern of taking action that does not change over time. That pattern
predicts their Path which leads to their purpose.
Her expertise has been honored by being in the first group of Kolbe Youth Advocates in
the world, appearances on Podcasts, Television segments, Mastermind Workshops,
and Business retreats.
Three unique things about Gail that might surprise you include: she is a minimalist,
loves to drive fast and takes hikes with her husband and dog Jax most Saturday
mornings.
