UNLOCKING THE CODE: The Secrets of Being a Turquoise CEO

For those that may not be familiar with numerology or colour psychology I’m going to invite you to play with me. Let’s pretend, just for the time it takes you to read this article, that you believe that your birth date is a key that unlocks a secret code. And let’s also pretend that the code we’re talking about is shown to you in numbers and colours. And one more pretend - just for sh*ts and giggles - pretend that your colours and numbers hold extremely valuable information about your challenges and gifts while fumbling around on this big marble called earth.  Are we good? Ready to play?

This article and my birth date are both brought to you by the number 7 and the colour turquoise. (I promise that’s the only Sesame Street reference for today!)  I have been waiting two and a half years, 10 previous editions and hundreds of designed pages to get to this colour! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Turquoise.

As a Turquoise life-path and CEO myself, I realize now, that it’s not just about being creative and having endless ideas; (although those are pretty sweet gifts to have) it’s about having the courage to take risks and venture into uncharted territories. It’s about having the tenacity to pursue a vision despite naysayers and the odds being stacked against you. It’s about having the ability to think outside the box and find solutions to the craziest problems.   

But, it’s not always easy being a Turquoise CEO. We can get carried away by our ideas and lose track of time, resulting in burnout and neglecting other aspects of our lives. We can be too trusting and naive, leading to disappointment and betrayal. We can be too idealistic and ignore practical realities, resulting in financial loss and missed opportunities.
