KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Achievers want to win and are disappointed with coming second even when doing so means they have achieved a lot.
- For achievers, life can be disappointing. They are tough on themselves and fail to celebrate their smaller wins.
- Practicing gratefulness helps achievers to see and appreciate things more.
- Investigators overthink and are drawn to certainty and will not take risks. They tend to get frozen in place and do nothing.
- If you are an investigator ask yourself “What´s the worst that can happen?.” This enables you to put things in context and take action.
- Trust matters to loyalists, but they can struggle to find people they can trust and work with.
BEST MOMENTS
“Look at your emotional reactions and use that as a clue.”
“If you relentlessly pursue that sense of achievement, you risk getting burnt out.”
“Turn that “I have to” into a “I get to” and bring gratitude into your life.”

ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
