Dear Parent,
If your teen or college student:
Needs some direction right now
Is feeling unsure about choosing the best path
Doesn't know how to connect their natural strengths to the best field of study
Or if you're feeling uncertain about planning for their future, especially with how emerging technology is reshaping the job market…
If any of these true, you're not alone.
Here's what I've seen again and again...
When students know what they're naturally "good at", and when they can match their strengths to a clear path, decisions stop feeling random, they know how to make wise decisions…and their confidence rises.
That’s exactly what this process is designed to uncover.
The Program Explained
I’d like to offer your student an opportunity to take the Highlands Ability Battery and finally discover where they really shine, so they can make the best future decisions.
This isn’t a personality quiz.
It’s not a general interest survey.
The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) is the gold-standard online assessment that objectively measures your student's true abilities with incredibly accuracy.
This assessment uses "brain games" that mimic tasks that are done in various careers, measures your student's strengths, and matches them to the best fields to pursue.
Here's how it works:
Your student completes the assessment online
They receive a personalized abilities report that will reveal where your student truly shines in ways they’ve never thought about before
We’ll meet for a live family feedback session (via Zoom) where I translate the results into:
Real strengths your student can finally trust
Career and field matches with long-term staying power
Clear next steps on what to do and how to think about the future
The Cost? Pay What You Want
Because the Highlands Ability Battery is an exclusive assessment, if you look online, the cost is typically around $450+.
But because direction is elusive for many students, I want to make this affordable for you and your family, so I’ve structured this to help as many students as possible.
To give your student the “gift of direction”, for a small amount of time, I'm offering this assessment and feedback session at a price that YOU choose to pay. (minimum $30). Absolutely no catch!
Highlands Ability Battery Overview
Who Am I?

Hi, my name is Richard Harris 👋
A few years back, I was a high school counselor, helping hundreds of students think through their futures and next steps.
Today, I’m the Director of Recruiting at a multi-billion-dollar company, where I lead the team that hires thousands of people every year, including college interns, recent graduates, and early-career professionals (here's my LinkedIn in case you want to verify 😉).
So I’ve seen this process from both sides.
I’ve encouraged students to go to college, trade schools, gap year programs, etc.
I’ve helped students course-correct after their initial plan didn’t deliver what they’d hoped.
And I've also been directly responsible for hiring individuals.
Today, I work with a select number of students, where I help them to understand how to align their innate abilities and confidently develop a solid plan for their future.
Parents routinely tell me my background is unique because I understand how abilities translate to careers, and as a hiring leader, I know the exact steps students should take in order to best position themselves as they transition from school to work.
I’d love the opportunity to give your student the direction they need!
