How does a B-17 bomber shot down over Belgium become the catalyst for one of the world's highest-caliber personality assessment tools? Meet Amy Shepley, third-generation president of Birkman International. From hand-scored Scantrons to AI-powered insights, she's turning her grandfather's war-zone revelation into a modern science of fixing people problems before they explode.

Amy brings over two decades of strategic leadership, sharpened at Fortune 500 companies and honed steering Birkman into the AI era. As president, she’s leading the rollout of the new enterprise‑wide Birkman platform, democratizing and decentralizing personality insights so every level of an organization can tap into behavioral science, not just the C‑suite. Her mission? Empower every individual to bring their whole self to work. In this episode, Amy unpacks how she’s scaling a 70‑year‑old legacy through modern tech, reimagining conflict resolution, and lighting the path for workplaces to truly see and leverage what makes us all different.
