What is your NATURAL Impact Style?

Welcome to your What is your NATURAL Impact Style?

Regardless of whether or not you're in a leadership position right now, you know that deep down you have something incredible to offer the world. And, the world needs your unique contributions now! Because the world is changing, and changing fast. Too fast for societal and cultural norms to keep up with the rapid changes happening all around us. We are all being called into our purpose, and each of us has a natural impact style when it comes to how we view the world and how we are received in it.

But, more often than not, we don't pay attention to our natural style. We use group work, team work, collaboration or competition as "reasons" (let's be real and call them what they really are - conditioned responses) to act in ways that are not truly US. When we do this, we stray away from the impact we could be having if we knew our natural impact style.

So, what is the most natural way for you to have the kind of impact that also empowers you to be your best version and thrive ALL the time? This quiz will help you decipher your own internal code and give you steps on how to maximize your Natural Impact Style!

Full name

When working in a team or group, I tend to gravitate to being the person who...

... generates ideas and long-term vision while letting others handle the implementation

... gets everyone's ideas and then builds an action plan for implementing the ideas

... makes sure that everyone I'm working with is comfortable and knows that their inputs and contributions are cherished and appreciated

... pays attention to the smallest details to make sure that rules are followed, work is balanced, and ROI is maximized

... executes on actions as long as there are clear directions specified

Working in a team or group, when push comes to shove, I get...

... really bothered when ideas or plans are incomplete or have missing steps; it points to poor planning

... annoyed when I am asked to explain my actions or thoughts or reasoning behind anything more than once; others' understanding or lack thereof is not my problem

... irritated when people break or bend rules; rules are there for a reason

... emotionally drained and demotivated when I sense any kind of drama or instability in my teams or groups

... irritated when people assume I know what needs to be done just because of my title or role

In addition to the above, I am not okay with...

... uncertainty in any sense of the word

... conflicts and disagreements

... making decisions without a consensus of opinions

... not being seen or heard; I just stop contributing and wait for people to notice

... the same old mundane things that don't tap into my creativity

When it's all said and done, I couldn't care less about...

... cutting corners in the name of speed or popular opinions; processes and protocols ensure success

... having to stick to limits, restrictions or status quo; boundaries are meant to be crossed

... the quality of my contributions; that I'm contributing at all is more important and relevant

... the work-load being distributed equally; those who are capable should step up and move things quickly so we can get more done

... anything to do with tasks, logistics and operations; focusing on the people doing the jobs is more important

Whether in business, at work or in my personal life, people most often reach out to me for...

... relationship connection support. They either want to vent about someone or something, or they want to connect with someone new

... intellectual, thought support. They are usually stuck in their thoughts because of a lack of clarity or a philosophical conundrum or crisis

... operational support. They want to talk through the "how to" or next steps of whatever they're doing

... detailing support. They usually want me to proofread or edit something, or look something over for gaps or errors

... execution support. They usually need me to be the "get it done person", knowing they can depend on me as an extra physical set of hands/eyes to help out with their tasks

When I am showing up as the best version of me, I consider myself a...

... fast-paced, action and task-oriented person who is focused on the immediate deliverables

... methodical, analytical person who is focused on the bottom-lines

... considerate, people-oriented person who is the social glue that holds communities together

... detail-oriented, hard worker who gets the job done

... quick-thinking, information processor who gets the full scope of the big picture

Those closest to me would describe me as...

... dedicated, driven, ambitious

... compassionate, supportive, a great friend

... logical, problem-solver, always has a solution

... methodical, fastidious, orderly

... esoteric, brilliant, deep thinker

Without filter, those closest to me would also say that...

... I get in my own way by dreaming too much and not doing enough

... I spend too much time on the nitty gritty details and lose sight of the bigger picture

... I invest way too much into my relationships and into making sure that everyone else is okay

... I do too much and forget about the people involved and their emotional needs

... I ask too many irrelevant questions in the name of clarity that get in the way of productivity

Acquaintances and outsider observers may perceive me as...

... an arrogant know-it-all who has an opinion on everything

... an interruptive, lazy, overcompensator

... an emotional less robotic person

... a flake who is all over the place

... an opportunist who changes plans frequently

Whether professionally or personally, I communicate best when...

... I can have simple, heartfelt conversations about how someone is really doing

... the conversation isn't all abstract and includes real substance like numbers and data

... I know clearly what is expected of me and others

... I can have longer discussions that are deep and involve multiple perspectives or theories

... I can see the logical and strategic point of the big stuff and the small stuff

Whether professionally or personally, I feel inauthentic and uncomfortable when I have to...

... engage in small talk that is inconsequential or irrelevant to the task at hand

... deal with logistics and systems

... bend/break routines or structures for someone's convenience

... make sense of illogical or incomplete scenarios using assumptions

... do anything beyond what is expected of me
