Advanced training focuses on leveraging instinctive strengths to reduce stress and increase productivity

PHOENIX, Ariz. (August 11, 2025) — Kolbe Corp, a leader in strengths-based performance solutions, successfully completed its latest Kolbe Certified™ Performance Specialist Workshop on August 6–7, 2025, held at the company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. This advanced training brought together 15 experienced Kolbe Certified™ Consultants to expand their expertise in coaching individuals based on how they naturally take action to improve talent optimization and organizational agility.

Over the course of two days, participants sharpened their ability to help individuals improve performance, manage stress, enhance employee well-being, and get more done, without burnout. Through hands-on coaching practice and personalized feedback, consultants learned how to guide clients toward working in ways that align with how they naturally take action. By improving role fit, talent retention, energy use, and communication, these consultants are better equipped to help businesses create healthier, more productive, and engaged workplaces.

More professionals and teams are seeking ways to reduce burnout, improve role alignment, and unlock greater performance by leaning into what already works for them, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach in today’s hybrid work environment.

“In every organization, there are people doing great work—but doing it the hard way,” said Amy Bruske, President of Kolbe Corp. “This advanced training helps experienced consultants specialize even further. It gives them the tools to show their clients a better way to work—one that matches how they’re wired to succeed. That leads to stronger results, less burnout, and more confidence in the way people approach their work and their lives.”

Kolbe’s methods focus on conation—the instinctive way people take action. It’s a different lens from personality or intelligence tests. Instead of asking how people feel or what they know, Kolbe tools deliver people analytics that identify how someone naturally solves problems and gets things done. This insight helps consultants offer tailored solutions that reduce friction and boost performance.

With more companies facing high stress, fast change, and low engagement, demand for instinctive strengths specialists is growing across industries, including HR, human capital management, leadership development, coaching, education, and organizational consulting.

“The Kolbe A™ Index reveals your potential. Many of us spend our careers doing things we’re good at but don’t love,” said Anastasia Toomey, Kolbe Certified Consultant. “Kolbe shows us how to focus on what’s natural, where we’d actually spend our time if given the choice.”

“Kolbe has shown me why I get stressed and how to analyze what I need to change,” said Bobi Siembieda, Kolbe Certified Consultant. “This helps me be more productive, optimize my mental energy, and better assist others.”
