No, once you pay for your assessment you are not required to purchase anything else. If you would like to learn more, you can purchase additional coaching and workshops.

According to Kathy Kolbe’s research, there are three faculties of the mind: conative (doing), cognitive (thinking), and affective (feeling). The conative portion determines a person’s natural instincts. When you go against your natural instincts this creates conative stress. The Kolbe Theory™, developed by Kathy Kolbe, helps people to find the freedom to be themselves through understanding and using their conative abilities. Learn more about conation here.

This depends on your child’s age and where your child is in his or her developmental growth. We have a variety of Kolbe conative assessments for children and adults. To visit our assessments page and view all of our assessment types, click here.
