We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!
We're all born with a particular genetic makeup that shaped by our environment and our life experiences. But we're not born with a manual for how to use that personality in our work, how we make sense of the world, how we create relationships, or how we change things about ourselves as well
So to help us with that we've invited Nikita Mikhailov onto the OrgDev Podcast. Nikita is passionate about studying human beings. He's a psychometrician he's just launched his brand new book personality a user's guide, and this reflects a decade dedicated to the field of psychometrics. In his career, he's worked with Fortune 500 companies and is a lecturer for Hult Business School!
