Self Expression: “BE"
(Bold | Visionary | Charismatic)
You don’t just show up - you shift the room
Your presence is your strategy. Your Self Expression is BE—which means you lead with energy, originality, and influence. You’re the kind of person people watch before they listen—and follow because they believe.
You move through work like a bold headline: clear, strong, and hard to ignore. You don’t get caught in the weeds. You’re here to set direction, define what’s next, and rally the team behind something bigger.
When used intentionally, your BE energy becomes the internal fuel for performance, culture, and innovation.
When you lead with presence and purpose, people listen—and they trust. That kind of authentic leadership isn’t just powerful, it’s proven to drive team performance at scale.
“Companies that promote authentic leadership see a 30% increase in employee trust and a 23% uplift in overall team performance.

What You Bring to the Team
Every team needs a clear source of momentum & you naturally step into that role.
When you’re aligned, you bring:
Big-picture thinking that inspires follow-through
Clarity of vision that keeps everyone focused
Cultural energy that sets the emotional tone
A presence that others instinctively anchor to
You make people feel like what they’re working on matters. That’s not soft, that’s high-leverage leadership.
When your team feels your conviction and clarity, they follow not just your lead, but your energy. That kind of authentic influence drives both satisfaction and results.
How You Make Decisions
You lead with instinct, confidence, and speed. You’re often the first to see potential and quick to act on it.
That decisiveness gives your team momentum. But to make it stick, your vision needs structure, and your energy needs follow-through. That’s what separates influence from impact.
What Slows You Down
Even great leaders create friction when they lead from habit, not awareness. Here’s what to watch for when operating from your BE zone:
