PHOENIX, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For profit and nonprofit enterprises share one major success criteria. They must understand people before making a significant impact. In 2018, three organizations have demonstrated superior understanding of people's innate strengths, and have just been recognized as finalists for Kolbe Corp's Conative Excellence Enterprise Award.
The three finalists are Bethany Christian Services, The Financial Services Network and LSW Architects — representing a diverse cross-section of organizations in nonprofit, financial and professional services. The winner will be announced, along with the individual Professional Award recipient, at the Conation Nation Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona, Oct. 25–26.

We're incredibly proud to be associated with each of these finalists for our Conative Excellence Enterprise Award."
