Industry consultant earns Kolbe Professional Award

Kolbe Corporation announced Kansas City-based business leader Jason Cupp received a 2017 Conative Excellence award. The professional award honors a consultant for success in applying conative theory, which uses instinctive strengths to unlock greater human potential.

Cupp was one of four finalists for the award, which honors distinguished leaders for applying conative theory to identify people’s natural strengths through consulting work. The criteria were based on expertise in Kolbe Theory, impact on organizations and voting from a panel of 80 other consultants.

“Jason’s ability to grow the organizations he works with comes from years of training and experience, plus a gift for insight,” said David Kolbe, CEO of Kolbe Corporation. “Specifically, he really knows how to use Kolbe Indexes and software to dig deep into others’ instinctive strengths.”

Cupp has been a Kolbe Certified consultant since 2006. The past 11 years, he has helped companies in insurance, health care and service industries with team building, business model development and crisis management. He travels throughout North America and Western Europe as a speaker and consultant on a variety of growth-oriented business and leadership topics.

Kolbe presented the award to Cupp at the Conation Nation Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona. The symposium brings together more than 200 thought leaders for training and knowledge-sharing around conation.
