Course overview
Discover Your Zone of Genius
Life's too short to do work you don't love. We'll give you a blueprint to think clearer, live louder, and find your life's work.
Who This Course Is For
01
You secretly wonder about those people who always "knew" what they wanted to be when they grow up and wonder if you missed something.
02
In the back of your mind you’re thinking, “Is this... it? There’s got to be something more.”
03
You want to find a career that's more fulfilling, meaningful and aligned with your personality and strengths but not sure where to begin.

Discover your Zone of Genius
See how your Zone of Genius has played a role in your life and career thus far and how it can play a central role in how you make your biggest life decisions.
Discover your Work Tendencies
Quantify and clarify what aspects of work you naturally gravitate towards and see how uniquely different it is from your peers.
360º view of your strengths
Finally get an accurate read on how the world sees your strengths and capabilities — rather than through your own biases, insecurities, projections, and that pesky "Imposter Syndrome"!
