“For 20 years we kept hearing from people using Kolbe in their professional lives, looking for more ways to apply our insights in their personal relationships,” says David Kolbe, CEO of Kolbe Corp and chief architect of Takes Two. “So we crafted a relationship report based on years of wisdom that is also easily accessible. It’s already helped many couples improve their relationships.”
About 50 percent of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce or permanent separation according to Psychology Today. Takes Two is aiming to reduce that statistic by providing customized advice on everyday topics that cause stress in almost all relationships. Topics include: finances, household chores and communication, with practical advice for each partner based on their MO—or instinctive way of taking action. Issues arising from these three topics are regularly cited as leading causes of breakups and divorce.
For example, the report may include the following blunt truth for a partner who is predisposed to focus on facts and details in communication while their partner is not: “Sometimes you may go on too long, so don’t be offended if her eyes start to glaze over.”
The Takes Two report is based on the Kolbe A™ Index, the only validated assessment that measures a person’s instinctive strengths. It has helped over one million people understand their talents and be their best selves.
