Episode 102 - Utilizing Assessments For Personal Growth And Career Success

This is a great episode for anyone at any stage of life. So often assessments for personal and professional growth cost a fortune, but this is not always the case. I am honored to introduce Eric Shepherd, who has a completely radical approach to helping others.


Eric is the leader of the Foundation For Talent Transformation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers an array of free online assessments designed to help individuals thrive personally, professionally, socially, and economically. In this episode, Eric shares his fascinating journey from being the CEO of a major assessment company to establishing his Foundation aimed at providing accessible tools for self-improvement and adaptation in a rapidly changing world. Whether you're navigating a divorce or any life transition, Eric offers invaluable insights on how you can utilize these assessments to understand yourself better, develop new skills, and move forward with confidence.

Be sure to try out some of these free assessments to help understand more about yourself and how you interact with the world around you.

The Foundation's free resources help foster self-awareness and a deep understanding of our true values, interests, and purpose with a focus on personal growth.
