Conative Strengths

School is one example of a social institution where some people thrive and others tank. But what if that has more to do with the way it's set up than whether some students lack the ability to learn.

This was Kathy Kolbe's connundrum. Dyslexic, dysgraphic, riddled with ADHD, and a female in the mid-twentieth century is not exactly a winning formula for success. But she was determined to scientifically prove equality. What she produced has been a tremendous asset in helping our clients learn how to succeed at healing, recovery, and happiness in a way that matches their own strengths (instead of being forced to always do things the way the teacher says). It has freed them to finally be and honor themselves just as they are.

Today well talk about that a little more. Have a listen.

Highlights:

• There's a lot of people listening that don't realize that when they think there's a deficit in them, they've really just been asked to operate differently than their own strengths. (11:10)
• Being burned out, hopeless, stressed, and depressed; how much of that is just you trying to be someone that you're not? (12:00)
• It gave perspective on the way I operate and It gave permission to be me. (27:55)
• This is not an excuse to cop out on what you aren't as familiar with, but maybe that there are other ways to do it.(29:10)
• Your perception of the world, your instinctive reaction to the world, is the place where freedom can be put on autopilot. And that is markedly different than Kathy's conation. (34:45)
