OM DENNE EPISODE
Do you know what motivates you? Do you know what fulfills you? Do you know what your “why” is?
These are big questions, but the Birkman Method can help you answer them with confidence (and it’s backed by 70+ years of data). This 30-minute assessment helps individuals understand their motivation, self-perception, social perception and mindset – and how to leverage each of these things to find more satisfaction in their lives.
In this episode of The Green Zone Podcast, Jeff Green and Lauren Smith sit down with Sharon Birkman, CEO of Birkman International, for an in-depth and eye-opening discussion on how Birkman can help us plan for a fulfilling future – especially with retirement in mind. They discuss:
- The fascinating origin story of Birkman International
- What the Birkman Assessment is and how it’s different from others, such as DISC and Myers Briggs
- How the Assessment is used with companies and individuals
- How you can use the Birkman to plan for a fulfilling retirement centered around your “why”
- And more!
