What if the career advice you’ve been following is fundamentally flawed? If you’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or uncertain about your professional direction, this groundbreaking webinar could be the catalyst you need. Please join Betsy Wills and Alex Ellison, co-authors of Your Hidden Genius, who will introduce Career Guidance 3.0—a revolutionary approach that utilizes science and data, rather than outdated assumptions, to unlock your true career potential. Traditional career guidance focuses on interests and personality traits that can shift over time. But what if there were a more reliable compass? Aptitude assessments reveal how your brain is naturally wired to solve problems, collaborate, innovate, and navigate complexity—uncovering talents you may not even realize have career value. Unlike popular tools like the Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, or the Enneagram, which measure preferences, these assessments identify your innate abilities, pointing you toward work that energizes rather than drains you. Whether you’re just starting your career, feeling misaligned in your current role, or considering a complete career change, this session will guide you beyond surface-level preferences to uncover the work you’re naturally designed to excel at. The authors will introduce YouScience, the leading aptitude discovery platform, and share how their book provides 24/7 career guidance through exclusive access codes.
Key Takeaways:
- Uncover hidden talents and natural abilities that translate into career opportunities
- Learn to make confident career decisions based on science, not guesswork
- Discover how to align your work with your brain’s natural wiring for sustained energy and success
- Build a strategic career path, resume, and interview approach that reflects your authentic strengths
Who Should Attend: This webinar is essential for anyone questioning their career direction—from students and recent graduates to experienced professionals seeking more fulfilling work. It’s particularly valuable for career changers, those feeling stuck in mismatched roles, and anyone ready to stop grinding and start thriving.
