The Hidden Cost of “Business as Usual”
27 Million
27 million multidimensional thinkers brimming with extraordinary talent—a hidden workforce of career switchers bringing fresh perspectives, neurodivergent professionals with innovative problem-solving styles, and working parents mastering the art of adaptable execution—are being filtered out by traditional hiring systems that overlook these strengths and focus solely on staunch résumé checklists.
36%
Companies clinging to traditional structures report 36% lower innovation capacity compared to peers embracing alternative talent pipelines. They’re also more likely to face skill shortages, a higher turnover rate, and lower employee satisfaction, while organizations tapping into multidimensional talent unlock faster adaptation to market changes.
79%
Nearly 80% of employees are actively seeking workplaces that value creative problem-solving over rigid role definitions and linear career paths. They’re not resigning because they can’t do the job. They’re leaving because the job refuses to evolve with them. Future-proofed companies don’t just fill roles, they cultivate the full human potential.

Key Level Score™ (KLS)
How are you?
The Key Level Score™ is a quick, research-informed assessment that helps identify where energy is being lost across work, identity, and environment. Instead of measuring productivity, KLS focuses on friction points: burnout, self-doubt, misalignment, and fatigue. It equips individuals and leaders with the language and insights to move forward with clarity instead of guesswork.
Use it to:
-
Run team-wide or leadership pulse checks
-
Identify quiet burnout before it becomes attrition
-
Support team recovery after change or disruption
-
Track energy health over time or across departments

The Radical Science Behind Being
Well Played™
Your brain on play isn’t just having fun, it’s operating at peak potential. Play triggers a neuro-chemical cocktail (dopamine + serotonin + endorphins) that outperforms caffeine for creative thinking, activates divergent neural pathways used in breakthrough innovation, and builds cognitive resilience faster than an “stress management” training.
