from The Family of Extrovert

Kimberly West, The Castle/Circus

Career: Writer, Designer, Speaker

 

Motto: "I like to achieve goals, while having fun!"

Summary

A. About. Name: Kimberly West. Predominate Kingdom: Blaze's Castle Key Words: Inspiring, fun, intense, caring, visionary, perfectionist, goal-oriented, trailblazer.

B. Best At. Occupation: "Queen of Personality-Ville®" educational products designer/author/speaker. Love to bring abstract concepts to life with fun, visual symbols.

C. Childhood experience with personality:  In 5th grade, I came home and told my mom I learned about personality today. I asked her, "What does 'aggressive' mean?" That's funny because, inside, I was quite shy around people. I did get energy from others (extrovert) but I would cross the street to avoid someone walking by me on the sidewalk. I was a shy extrovert. Still am in some ways.

D. Dragons I Dislike about my Personality:  Perfectooth; I'm too hard on myself. Got this from my military father.

E. Example. Who do you think shares your kingdom? Oprah Castle/Circus. She's all about accomplishing great things (Castle), while being warm & friendly (Circus), and having fun (Circus) all at the same time. Just like me. (But she has $$$ to truly make a difference :)

F. Family. I wish my family knew about this when my quiet, analytical brother was still alive. I think we were so loud and dominant, we missed out on his witty, dry sense of humor. Sorry, Bro Bro.

G. Great. Most Like about My Personality: Caring, fun, and curious. People have said, "What you see, is what you get!" I like being authentic.

Tip/Quotes:
 
Hi! I'm Kimberly West and I live near Blaze's Castle. I love to accomplish as much as possible and I think BIG! But, I love to have fun too! It's been really great for me to understand that different people "live" in different personality kingdoms. When I first meet people, I get a little excited and have a hard time listening. So now when I meet someone new, I visualize myself in the middle of Personality-Ville (at a slower speed) and take a deep breath. This puts people at ease and it lets me get a feel for how THEY want to be treated.
 
When I decided to write, it was hard for me because I get energy from being around people. I hunkered down and gave myself a "treat" of going out if I finished a certain amount of work. Also, sharing what I wrote with others on the phone or Skype was a good way to energize too.
 
So, just remember, If I can make it, so can you!

Now, tell us your story--in story, poem, song, video, or artwork.

Tell us your unique story about embracing your personality style, whether that be from an extrovert or introvert perspective. Did you learn that your personality gains or spends energy differently? Have a dragon? Did you learn how to manage it and now your life is better? Does your boss, spouse, or family member have a dragon and you learned how to cope with it? 

Nobody's perfect. However, striving for excellence is something we value. Here at Personality-Ville® we think that mentoring and role-modeling is an important factor of being our best.

 

The High Royal Court has set up a system where any Royal Subject may apply or nominate themselves/others to be part of this exciting registry of notable people in the kingdom.

 

This is a new program and we will be adding new information as it becomes available.

 

We are looking for those individuals who exemplify the strengths/natural talents of each Personality-Ville® Kingdom, while striving to manage their Dragons of Defects.

These categories will be set up: kids (8-12) teens (13-17), adults (18+), and seniors (60+). (Other categories may be added later.)

 An annual ball (TBA) will be the culmination of our Who's Who program with the crowning and recognition of our top Royal Subjects of Personality-Ville®.  

A beautifully bound Who's Who of Personality-Ville reference book will be available profiling significant people divided into each kingdom.
There will also be a series of individual profile biographies of famous folks from each Personality-Ville kingdom.
Contact us with your choice and nomination. Inclusion will be decided by Personality-Ville staff. We may also put out a voting poll to see which ones are important to you.
