43 min - Personality Assessments for All
Self-awareness is missing in many of today’s workplaces and can make a big difference for leaders of organizations and team members. While personality assessments are an important tool to help people better understand themselves, most come at high price points. In addition, the results are packaged for human resources professionals and consultants, who act as gatekeepers for potentially transformative information.
Enter Reece Akhtar, PhD, who founded the personality assessment Deeper Signals to make personality assessments accessible to people beyond the C-suite. In this episode of Catching North Stars, hear Reece explain how he developed Deeper Signals and why personality assessments are essential tools for a healthy workplace. We also speak about the possibilities of AI to assist us in our understanding of human behavior.

45 min - Entrepreneurship as UNusual:
I am Alexis Halkovic, PhD host of the Catching North Stars podcast. In this podcast, I aim to highlight the work of individuals who have identified their core values and developed careers/business rooted in those values. I have several goals: 1) to learn and share with others how deep purpose can be transformed into meaningful work, 2) to highlight the work of people engaged in inspiring work, 3) to take an Industrial/Organizational Psychology lens to focus on specific aspects of that work/journey, and 4) to engage in questions about the meaning of the work and its potential impact on society.
In the first episode of Catching North Stars, Aicila Lewis shares her journey from working in non-profits and being a mother and activist to creating her own consulting business. Now, she enables small business owners to more easily realize their dreams by taking care of business logistics. Entrepreneurs have a compelling vision, but are often not aware of how to leverage systems and practices that will help make their businesses successful. This is where Aicila comes in. She provides guidance and structure to get entrepreneurs off the ground. She also share how her values show up in her work.
A mother and host of the podcast Business as UNusual, Aicila shares how she engages with, and supports the missions of, purpose-driven professionals.

About Catching North Stars
From the publisher's feed
I created this podcast with the vision of engaging in meaningful conversation with individuals who have identified their core values and have created successful business and/or careers that are…
rooted firmly in those values. As a consultant and executive and leadership coach and a social psychologist, my mission is to help organizations and people align their values with both their careers and their lives. As such, Catching North Stars is a way for me to identify folks who are creating meaningful work and to share their journeys and successes with others. My goals for the podcast are: 1) to learn and share with others how deep purpose can be transformed into meaningful work; 2) to shine a light on the work of inspirational individuals; 3) to use an Organizational Psychology lens to focus on areas addressing work and workplace issues; and 4) to engage in questions about the meaning of the work and its potential impact on society. I hope the journeys of my guests will inspire you as much as they inspire me!
With great respect, Alexis Halkovic, PhD
