My Kolbe A: Nicole Loventhal

I am Nicole, and I am an 87151

This combination of my strengths means that I am a natural strategic planner. I am “excellent in situations that require strategic organization of information.”1 I “set priorities and put them into appropriate sequences.” My “talent with both strategies and tactics make me essential to any massive effort.”

Knowing and understanding my natural strengths helps me handle stress and control outcomes.

Fact Finder 8 – When it comes to gathering and sharing information, I specify. I naturally begin with research, considering historical evidence, to develop complex strategies. My strength lies in questioning frequently and thoroughly. I am strongest when I do not have to make snap judgements or answer off the top of my head. Clients really appreciate my attention to detail as they know I have left nothing out.

Follow Thru 7 – When it comes to organizing, I systematize. I naturally create the plan, distinguish patterns, and bring focus and closure. My strength lies in coordinating and integrating activities. I am strongest when I do not have to take shortcuts or put up with too many interruptions. Alas, disrupting my schedule has been known to throw my whole day off kilter. 

Quick Start 1 – When it comes to dealing with risks and uncertainty, I stabilize. I naturally minimize risk factors and reduce unexpected events. My strength lies in avoiding chaos and reducing the chance of making mistakes. While I enjoy brainstorming sessions, I know that I am strongest when I do not have to race the clock, experiment or work with ambiguities. Sure, I can wing it, but it’s not always pretty.

Implementor 5 – When it comes to handling space and tangibles, I restore. I naturally keep things working the way they should and remove obstacles – both real and imagined. My strength lies in dealing with both the abstract and the concrete.  I am strongest when I do not have to draw conclusions without a walk-through or present information without props. Having the right tools for the job is important to me. Clients count on me as the liaison to communicate between those who imagine and those who build.

I am an 8715 and my forte lies in “combining my sense of history with a talent for seeing themes. I figure out the background of problems and the steps necessary to solve them.”
