You’re very in tune with yourself and those around you. You’re super empathetic and wise. You’re both supportive and assertive— a natural leader and partner.

You’re perceptive, quick-witted, incredibly caring, and love to make others laugh. You’re always keeping things fun and interesting because you, yourself, hate feeling bored.

You are sensitive, creative and one-of-a-kind. You have a knack for challenging people to “zoom out” and see the big picture while simultaneously challenging the status quo.

Which GIF describes how you WANT to feel just before a nerve-wracking conversation or presentation?(Required)

You have an idea for how to solve an issue your team has been dealing with. What’s holding you back from sharing it?(Required)

I know this is a solid idea, but I’m worried it will be written off as “unrealistic.”

I want to look at all our data first. I don’t wanna propose a solution if it’s half-baked, that’d be a waste of everyone’s time...

I need to think of a clever way to pitch this, so that people are genuinely excited about the idea.

I’m worried I might step on some toes or offend people by proposing this.

Think of your current professional goal—maybe you want to lock in a promotion, land a job that’s more aligned with your values, or grow your own thriving business! Which of the following “tracks” is playing on a loop in your mind?(Required)

The vision in my head is crystal clear, but I'm worried that I don't have the time or influence to achieve it in the way I'd like to.

I need to research and prepare more. If I don’t have everything mapped out, I’ll open myself up to unnecessary risk.

I know I have what it takes, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to articulate myself clearly enough on the fly to convince people of my credibility.

If I go for this, I’d really be putting myself out there and I’m afraid I won’t be taken seriously.

Which frustrating piece of feedback have you received about your communication?(Required)

“You seem stiff— can you ditch the script and trust that you know what you’re talking about?”

“You seem nervous - try to own what you’re saying more.”

“You’re getting stuck in the weeds - help us understand why this is important in the grand scheme of things.”

“Your delivery feels scattered and “rambly,” which makes it hard to track your core message.”

What do you want to be *known for* professionally?(Required)

I want to be known as a go-to source for clear, reliable information—someone who’s adept at keeping everyone on-track and in-the-know.

I want to be known for empowering people and creating a safe space for them to be true to who they are.

I want to be known for driving innovation and inspiring people to work toward a common purpose.

I want to be known for lifting people’s spirits and making our work together something we’re all excited (rather than obligated) to do.
