Unlocking 'Your Hidden Genius: Aptitudes, Careers, and Personal Growth'
Manage episode 468166800 series 2842193
In this episode of Resilience Unravelled, Dr Russell Thackeray welcomes Betsy Wills and Alexander Ellison to discuss their book 'Your Hidden Genius,' which offers a science-backed approach to identifying and harnessing innate talents.
Betsy and Alex explain how aptitudes—measurable traits influencing our ability to learn and excel—can guide career choices, personal growth, and even team dynamics. They highlight the significance of aptitudes tested through a series of games rather than self-reported questionnaires.
The conversation covers topics like the role of aptitudes in personal and professional life, the difference between aptitudes and personality traits, and the potential applications for this knowledge in various contexts. Betsy and Alex also touch upon the importance of understanding one's aptitudes for fostering resilience and satisfaction in both work and personal domains. Listeners are encouraged to explore their own potential by taking the aptitude assessment included with the book.
