The 4 types of personalities the author recommends are: a Collaborator,  a Cheerleader, a Coach and a Critic.  Jamie and Guy discuss each of these types of people and how they add value to our lives.  The collaborator is someone who’s going to help you expand your ideas. They’re not going to agree with everything you say, but all feedback is going to feel productive. The cheerleader is the person who’s going to make you feel confident before you get in the room.  They give you the encouragement you need when you're feeling uncertain and unsure.  The coach will help you understand if an idea is right for you. They are a sounding board or safe space to say whatever you want.  The critic is the person who will deliberately poke holes in your ideas.  Their role is not to criticize but to help you critically think ideas though.  Each of these 4 types of people bring value in different ways and complete the circle of support we need as we navigate life's challenges and work toward our goals.
