The right tools make all the difference.

The long-term, ongoing processes of financial planning and wealth management require communication and commitment, as well as stamina. Understanding how our clients operate empowers us to tailor how information is delivered, bridge communication gaps, and optimize the process of engagement.

The Power of Kolbe Wisdom™

A crucial part of our engagement process is understanding the Kolbe A Index of our clients. Backed by decades of scientific research, the Kolbe Concept® holds that human instincts are the source that drives people to take specific actions. These “instinctive needs” propel an individual’s actions, reactions, and interactions. It also identifies the person's use of time and natural form of communication.

Each individual operates on the continuum of each action mode, and the unique combination represents his or her mode of operation (M.O.):
