In this session, you’ll hear from two leading voices at the intersection of talent, education, and careers.
Dr. Frank Danesy — former Head of Human Resources at the European Space Agency (ESA), where he led astronaut recruitment, and Adjunct Faculty at Mannheim University — will share why recognizing students’ unique talents is a cornerstone of career success. He’ll explore how talent awareness fuels motivation, adaptability, and long-term achievement.
Pauls Irbins, CEO and Co-founder of Orbit8, will show how schools and counselors can transform insights about student talents into concrete pathways — helping students choose what to study, apply their strengths in meaningful ways, and thrive in careers where they can make a lasting impact. He will highlight how this approach equips educators with scalable tools to support every student’s journey toward a thriving future.
