What do you want for your rangatahi?
"Right now, kids don’t know where they’re going, and have no idea — it’s aimless, it seems haphazard. And what I love about this tool is that is creates 'the banks of the river'. And the banks of the river turn something that is not moving, like a swamp, and creates flow — and when you create flow it’s forward momentum, and it also stirs up life. Flow brings life, and so I feel like this report isn’t a box that you put people in, but it creates the banks that create flow in people’s lives.
I think young people are demotivated, entitled, all of these things, and a tool like this creates a dynamic of taking this whole concept of ‘you can be anything and do anything' and says: actually that’s not true. What I think this can help with is it helps create those banks of reality — again not boxing, but creating flow. I would totally encourage people, there’s plenty of tools out there, but there’s just something about this one."

Springboard
Young people in New Zealand face all kinds of challenges -- from dysfunctional home life, addictions and abuse, to struggles with mental health issues, extreme uncertainty over the future, and feelings of hopelessness and disconnection...
We can't mitigate all the root causes of the challenges they are facing, but we can support them with a better understanding of who they are. That includes their inherent value and potential, and how they can best manage themselves and their reactions in order to grow a life they can feel good about.
Kokkoi Grow Report helps young people to:
Understand their potential and the 'seeds' they have to work with, as they make decisions about their future.
Begin to see that they are a unique individual with specific value they can bring to each situation.
Find the areas they can focus their efforts on, and grow into the best version of the person they were created to be.
Develop resilience by understanding their own reactions and perspectives, and how to manage these well.
1
The ideal starting point for working with the Kokkoi: Grow Report is that you and/or your staff get trained in using this report through one of our Professional Development / Facilitator Training sessions.
2
Once you have completed the Training session, you are registered as a Kokkoi: Grow Report Facilitator and can access discounted rates for purchasing reports for your rangatahi.
3
Once you have a group you are working with we will invoice you for their reports, and your list of participants will each receive a link to answer the Birkman Questionnaire, which takes about ~30 min to complete.
4
Once they have all completed, we send you their Kokkoi: Grow Reports, plus any Group Reports you have chosen to include.
5
We suggest providing young people with their reports either in the context of an individual coaching conversation, or in a group workshop. We never recommend just handing them their reports and leaving them to figure things out. There's power in talking things through.

You can also make use of additional resources such as worksheets and guides to help you dig deeper into the data and how to apply it.

What is the Kokkoi Grow Report?
The Kokkoi Grow Report is an interpretive personality report designed in Aotearoa New Zealand, for use with rangatahi from all walks of life. The report is powered by data from The Birkman Method Questionnaire, a tool used by organisations around the world to develop their people and grow their leaders. The Kokkoi Grow Report contains the Birkman Interests and Map data and frames these in a way designed to make sense for young people.
How can I use the Kokkoi Grow Report?
The Kokkoi Grow Report is suitable for use in both one-on-one and group settings. Whether you are coaching and mentoring individual young people, or working with a whole year group, we have tools and resources to help you get the most out of this report for your rangatahi.​

What will it cost to start using the Kokkoi Grow Report?
We always want to ensure that everyone using the Kokkoi Grow Report with young people has had some experience of it for themselves. For this reason we encourage your attendance at a Kokkoi Grow Report Facilitator Training. Once you've completed that you can access our Facilitator rates for the Kokkoi Grow Report and begin using it with your young people.​

Can the Kokkoi Grow Report be used with neurodiverse young people?
Absolutely! We have used this data extensively with neurodiverse individuals with great success. As long as the young person is able to read and understand the simple questions in the questionnaire then they can receive a Kokkoi Grow Report and get great value out of it. Some additional time and support may be required, but from our experience this report can be of awesome value to any and every young person in New Zealand.​​

I have worked with many personality assessments, what makes the Kokkoi Grow Report any different?
Well, if you know anything about The Birkman Method Assessment you probably already know that it's the best there is in the field of psychometric assessment. That's why we use it, and that's why we don't bother with anything else - we just haven't found anything that can compare to the accuracy, longevity and applicability of Birkman. Both at the individual and group data level it is an incredibly powerful tool, and we are passionate about harnessing that depth of insight and making it available to young people.​​
