A colleague recommended that I check out Colm’s work. She’d heard him speak at a conference and thought I’d like his work. “There’s an Actuary in Ireland who has done this work on character and the human condition and how this impacts business risk.” I was intrigued and curious to know more. I contacted Colm to find out more about …

There’s no simple formula for effective risk management, but that doesn’t mean we know nothing about what it takes. This test is the best distillation I have yet encountered of what it takes to navigate the changing, complex and always humbling waters of a world that will never conform to our rules.

Doing the Know Yourself Test was a really wise use of my time. The post-test discussion with Colm was both very helpful and stretching at the same time. I was really encouraged by the emphasis on self-awareness and development of character when seeking to be a better citizen. I would unreservedly recommend this to others.
