Myers-Briggs (MBTI), DISC, Strengthsfinder. You’ve heard of them. You may have taken them. Are they accurate? How should you get value from them? Join The EZ Coach and special guest Devin Nash. Ethan and Devin have both taken all three tests. We’ll debate the accuracy and value of the tests, discuss our own test results, and address top audience questions about them. Ultimately, behavioral style tests like these can be used to gain insights into yourself, understand how to work with others who have different style, learn the blindspots and weaknesses of your natural tendencies, and give coworkers a better language for understanding each other.

Using Behavior Tests for Professional Development with guest Devin Nash

Level Up is your source for career growth solutions by retired Amazon Vice President, Ethan Evans.

In my 15+ years at Amazon, I led global teams of 800+ and invented businesses such as Prime Video, Amazon Appstore, Merch by Amazon, Prime Gaming, and Twitch Commerce. I hold 70+ patents. Have reviewed 10,000+ resumes, conducted 2,500+ interviews, and made 1,000+ hires. I was an Amazon Bar Raiser and Bar Raiser Core Leader. And I helped advocate for and draft the Amazon Leadership Principle (LP) “Ownership” — the words, “They never say ‘that’s not my job.’” are mine.

I've promoted 8 reports from Senior Manager (Amazon L7) to Director (Amazon L8), contributed to 25+ Director promotions, hired 10+ Directors internally and externally, and drove the promotion of 3 engineers to Principal. Of my former reports, 2 are current Amazon VPs (L10) and 5 are C-Suite outside Amazon.

I retired from Amazon as a VP in September 2020. Before Amazon, I spent 12 years at 3 startups.

Now I am building Level Up: Your source for career growth solutions & community.
