📝 The Most Impactful Personality Assessment I’ve Ever Taken For My Career
It’s probably the Cosmopolitan-Girl-reading-90’s-girlie in me, but I am a sucker for an archetype-finding quiz. “Mostly C’s” and you are a California Girl at heart. The Career version of the archetype-finding quiz is a personality assessment, and the overachiever-girlie in me is a sucker for these too. Know thyself!
Enneagram? 3.
Myers Briggs? ENFJ.
DiSC Assessment? Di.
Clifton’s Strength’s Finder? Activator, Competitor, Futurist.
While all of these assessments have there place and I’ve learned something through all of them, taking the Kolbe and learning my results, alongside an executive coach, changed my life.
🫑 Ya Ya’s Sausage and Peppers
You may be sick of hearing this by now, but I really do have the greatest mom. When I was growing up, despite working a demanding sales career, she always had fresh cut veggies set out on the counter when I came home from school, and she always had a home-cooked meal for us.
On Wednesdays, she would have her best friends over. They called it “Ya Ya Happy Hour” a nod to a book they all read called Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, which, now that I am typing this, I am going to read. I digress.
One of the most famous meals from the Ya Ya Happy Hour Era was my mom’s Sausage and Peppers. So famous, in fact, one of our friends had chefs re-create it, so she could serve it at her wedding.
It’s the perfect warm, hearty dish for the dead of the winter. I hope you love it.
