Edna Ballard approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Edna's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Edna Ballard comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Edna Ballard - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Edna Ballard" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Edna a little better. This page describes the disguise Ballard wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Edna Ballard likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. She is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. She is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Ballard must have something of her own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that she can develop and manage according to her own will and vision. Whatever Edna does, she does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. She likes to put her own personal stamp on it.
Edna Ballard also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats her in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Ballard will rarely confront the offender - she is too proud to do so - but she will lose her affection and respect for them. Edna dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.
Ballard admires others who are strong individuals like herself. When Edna Ballard befriends someone, Ballard is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. She is very giving and generous, but her gifts are never anonymous - Edna expects recognition and appreciation for them. She also expects the intense loyalty that she offers to her dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Edna Ballard often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as herself, for she does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily.

Her outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. Her own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Edna more than anything else. Edna Ballard feels that if she does her best where she is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.
Edna Ballard appears to be sweet to other people, and she knows how to use charm, persuasion, and affection rather than more direct (but possibly disagreeable) methods to get her point across.
