Hello everyone and thank you for joining me today. This episode is going live the day before we celebrate St. Patrick's Day and for me this signifies that I will be competing in my first Spartan race in exactly 3 months. I'll admit I have not been taking my training as seriously as I wanted to at the outset and now I'm making some dramatic changes to my schedule and lifestyle to get myself in the best shape so I can enjoy the experience. Yes, I did say I want to enjoy this Spartan race. I know it will be tough but I also know there is a satisfaction that comes when at the end of the race I can say I did my best and for me my best includes the training. Wish me luck! A Type A Discovery Over the past year or so I began to realize that I attracted into my community and my clientele women who all seemed to fit a particular personality profile. It was no surprise that they were a lot like me. They were going through challenges I had overcome or was in the process of overcoming, they had strengths that were similar to my strengths, and weaknesses that were similar to my weaknesses. When I began to sort out all the trends and commonalities it jumped out at me what I and these women all had in common. We all had Type A tendencies. Since then I have spoken about being Type A women, I wrote my book for Type A women and I've spent more time focusing on how to help these women not only be successful but to feel successful. With these conversations I've also had more women wonder aloud to me if they are Type A. Sure enough many of them do have a lot of Type A tendencies, but Type A, Type B and Type C all describe a variety of tendencies that live on a spectrum. So you don't want to think of yourself as being wholly Type A or Type B but rather recognize the degree to which you are each of the Types. I wanted to go deeper into Type A in this episode so that you will know once and for all the degree to which you are or are not Type A. The Definitions of Type A According to the Business Dictionary, Type A is "a temperament characterized by excessive ambition, aggression, competitiveness, drive, impatience, need for control, focus on quantity over quality and unrealistic sense of urgency." Well that doesn't sound very complimentary but that's a starting point so let's continue. Go to https://womentakingthelead.com/typea/ to read the post in it's entirety.
