Kolbe Certified™ Consultant Projects

The Kolbe community around the world are helping individuals and non-profit organizations to discover their strengths. Here are just a few of the amazing projects that Kolbe Certified Consultants are spear heading.

Kolbe Certified™ Consultant: Gabby Matzdorff

Kolbe Certified™ Consultant: Joe Paulsen

Kolbe Certified™ Consultant: Achille Kombat

Joe Paulsen is working with Woodbury Lutheran Church (staff of 27) on understanding their natural instincts and how to be the most uniquely capable they can be. As their Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®) professional Implementer, Joe prepared and conducted their Kolbe A™ Index interpretations and provided them with Mind Menus. Woodbury Lutheran Church is one church over three locations united in purpose. Their passion is Multiplying Disciples and Transforming Lives as they embrace The [Disciple] LIFE. This means discovering identity in Jesus, becoming more like Him, and helping others do the same. 

Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center offers immersive, hands-on environmental education programs for students, educators, families, and adults on its 2,000-acre campus. Through outdoor classes, summer camps, wilderness trips, and a graduate naturalist program, Wolf Ridge fosters environmental stewardship and leadership by connecting people directly with nature.
Gabby Matzdorff will be taking new team members through their Kolbe A™ Indexes, offering Kolbe B™ and C™ Indexes for all leadership roles, and providing a half-day session focused on team optimization using Kolbe reports. She also plans to incorporate Kolbe’s RightFit™ hiring process to guide the search for leadership roles’ successors.

HopeBank Academy is a global community that helps adults and children discover their potential through hands-on learning—from life skills and community projects to robotics and creative problem-solving.
As part of a new initiative, Achille Kombat will host a virtual Kolbe workshop for 60 volunteers across Africa, Canada, and Europe, introducing them to their natural strengths with the Kolbe A™ Index. Another 15 volunteers will take the Kolbe B™ Index to explore alignment between their instincts and current roles, and 5 children will join a special session to support stronger family connections and academic growth.
The workshop will focus on practical applications of conative strengths in volunteer work, personal development, and family life.

Project Spotlight

St. Joseph the Worker  


Project: Organization helping individuals gain paid employment, no matter their experience or history. Using Kolbe A & B Indexes for the growing leadership team as well as the powerful TeamSuccess® Solutions report.

St. Joseph the Worker's mission is to get Phoenix's economically disadvantaged, homeless and those in life transitions or experiencing a crisis, employed in quality jobs that will help them become healthy, independent individuals and community members. This is done by providing the resources they need to find employment (whether that be clothing, transportation assistance, tools, certifications, or anything else), connecting them directly to employment opportunities in the Valley, and empowering their individual success.
Despite the many challenges St. Joseph the Worker has encountered as a result of Covid-19,  they have experienced significant growth in the last year, adding three organizational departments after having only two for more than 30 years. This vertical growth has given St. Joseph the Worker the opportunity to expand their leadership team and collaborate when making decisions, using Kolbe A & B Indexes for the leadership team as well as the powerful Team Success Solutions report to help the leadership in their transition and expansion.  

Kolbe Corp Employee: Diane Villa

Their mission to help "disadvantaged, homeless and those in life transitions or experiencing crisis, employed in quality jobs" really resonated with Diane because she’s known friends and family in these situations and how difficult it can be to dig out of that hole and find gainful employment. 

Hike for the Homeless is a yearly fundraiser by St. Joseph the Worker. 

Hundreds of Kolbe Certified™ Consultants around the world are working in their communities to spread the power of conative strengths.JOIN US!

Project Spotlight

Bahay Aurora 


Project: Working with the children's shelter in the Philippines, management team & shelter employees, using Kolbe A™, B™, and C™ Indexes.

Bahay Aurora shelter provides a home, education, and other support for children coming from diverse backgrounds across the Philippines. The shelter's mission is to instill shared values and provide a sense of direction to help the children lead successful lives.  

Kolbe Certified™ Consultant: Joop Stroes, Empathie Plus

Joop Stroes, Kolbe Certified Consultant at Empathie Plus, worked with Bahay Aurora's Netherlands-based management team and employees at the shelter in the Philippines. Using the Kolbe System™, including Kolbe A, B and C Indexes, he helped teams identify and optimize how they use their conative strengths and overcome some communication and collaboration challenges. 
Challenges:   - Management based in the Netherlands; staff based in the Philippines   - Challenges in communications and cultural differences   
- Due to Covid-19, the management team has not traveled to the shelter, so communication     had been limited to calls and messaging
