Many of us often feel we don’t have enough time to do everything in our business and lives, and wonder how some people seem to manage to do it all. Well, there is a method or theory to make it easier to manage it all and that is what we’re going to talk about today. At the BP conference in Bologna this year, Sophie leClerc gave a popular talk about this and I wanted to share this with you in this episode.

Important things mentioned in this episode:

• The Four Tendencies Personality test by Gretchen Rubin
• How we can find out what tendency we relate most to
• How to use the four tendencies to foster greater client relationships
• How to use the four tendencies to get a better grip on our hectic lives
• Marketing by joyful authenticity

When we understand ourselves and how our Tendency shapes our perspective on the world, we can adapt our circumstances to suit our own nature—and when we understand how other people’s Tendencies shape their perspectives, we can engage with them more effectively. One of the big daily challenges of life is: “How do I get people—including myself— to do what I want?” The Four Tendencies make this task much, much easier. Let us know what you think of the Four Tendencies and what tendency you relate most to.

Bio:

Passionate about linguistics, arts, and life management, former researcher, teacher, and business developer, Anne-Sophie had an epiphany the day she discovered being a linguist could allow her to combine her multiple activities and interests. She’s now an English and Spanish into French translator as well as a French editor and copywriter. She specialises in literary and marketing content to help creatives and entrepreneurs hatch the words they need to spread their wings. To make the most of her days, she also gives workshops about time management and work-life balance for freelancers. In her spare time, she’s all about eating, reading, and practising yoga.
