NFX #114: Psychology of Talent Optimization w/ Matt Poepsel, PhD

Matt Poepsel is affectionately known as The Godfather of Talent Optimization and serves as Vice President of Partner Growth at The Predictive Index, provider of the world’s leading talent optimization platform. Over a career spanning 20+ years, he made the shift from insecure business manager (IBM) to authentic people leader (APL). Now it’s his mission to help aspiring “leaders at every level” do the same. After serving 6 years as a Reconnaissance Marine and Arabic linguist, he took his first civilian job in high tech. He enjoyed the work, but he felt that something was missing. He embraced his passion for personal development and earned his PhD in psychology with a focus on technology-assisted coaching. I now counsel executives and teams across the globe in the areas of employee performance and experience. http://mattpoepsel.com http://www.predictiveindex.com http://www.talentoptimization.org "Disclaimer: This podcast is not intended to provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
