50. What your personality type says about the business owner you’ll be

With Dr. Gerilyn Alfe, DMD, MBA
We've all met them:

  • The leader who throws out a thousand ideas a minute
  • The big personality who can't be trusted to follow up on anything
  • The boss who wants to be everyone's friend but can't make hard decisions
  • The business owner who suffers from "paralysis by analysis"
These stereotypes can be a drain on any business's productivity. However, when properly channeled and balanced, they can be high-achieving employers who lead their teams to greatness.


Meet our guest

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Gerilyn Alfe, owner at Get Ahead Coaching and Consulting, and a former practicing dentist and dental practice owner of 25 years. 

In addition to her private practice, she’s worked as a speaker, hands-on instructor, and mentor to thousands of business owners throughout the country.
