Why Cognitive Preferences Matter

The Assessment reveals what catches your attention, what can miss your attention, what raises your energy, what can deplete your energy.

It seems simple, but it's an opening to your authentic self. It's you before you hesitate, catch yourself, self-censor, adapt to expectations. And, yes, we all live in a world of rules and expectations. At the same time, at Kairos, we think the authentic and reflexive you is you at your most interesting and generative.

"I wish I had known this twenty years ago."

Becoming aware of our cognitive preferences is so powerful, most people regret not knowing them sooner.

If you don’t have this information, you are intuitively guessing

"Understanding my cognitive preferences was not only a game changer for understanding myself better but also with my relationship with my daughter Annie, my co-workers and personal relationships. I now have the strategies I need to go through the day with the energy and attention I need in order to thrive both personally and professionally."

Discovering what’s really under the hood of your car can make a world of difference in how you drive and utilize its power. The Kairos Assessment does the same thing for the mind, producing awareness for creating the best strategies for our own thinking and working. It has been a brilliant resource for me personally, as well as for hundreds of our clients.

I was fumbling in the dark before having the assessment

I walk into client meetings armed with a tremendous amount of quick wins, questions to ask them to establish rapport, and ideas about how we could customize the coaching to address the problems they were bumping into.

This is the only assessment I have used in my career that provides instant clarity

This is the only assessment I have used in my career that provides instant clarity. Unlike many other performance tools we have used in the military, it provides real-time insights into our behaviors and thinking--as well as easy steps we can employ immediately.

It helps me explain the challenges a client might see

I benefit from having kairos in my tool belt under the coaching sessions.

It is a very helpful dialogue tool and for me to structure the sessions after the individual needs.

And it helps me interpret and explain the challenges a client might see when trying to implement and learn getting things done.

I highly recommend it.

Embrace Differences

Even if you and I, right now, stood in the same place at the same time and looked together in the same direction, we’d have a different experience.

We’d have all the same data flowing to us from the same universe, but we take a different sample of it. For some of us, our samples are a little different. Sometimes, they’re so different, we can wonder if we’re the same species.
