“I’ve always had a sense of what my natural strengths and weaknesses were but I wanted to make sure, so I decided to take the Highlands Ability Battery. I completed a series of exercises that measured how quickly I recognize patterns and changes, through both logical or non-logical reasonings. Austin answered all the questions I had along the way, which was very helpful. After completing the exercises, Austin debriefed me on my results and how they translate into different areas of my life. The results also provided me with careers that I would enjoy and excel in, based on on the abilities that come naturally to me. Overall, I am very satisfied with the services and the results I got from the Highlands Ability Battery”

I completed an assessment and debrief session with Austin, and from the outset, he was professional, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. He created a comfortable environment that encouraged open discussion and exploration.

Austin demonstrated an impressive depth of understanding and expertise. His insights were not only valuable but delivered in a way that was easy to comprehend and apply. He combines such expertise with genuine care for their client's development. For anyone considering their own development, whether it be personal or professional, I recommend Austin.
