Blazer Profile.
Work Type DNA
Dear Friend,
Welcome to Your BLAZER DNA™ Journey: The Strategic Force Behind Every Success
Let me start with something most people won't tell you: you're not like everyone else, and that's precisely why you matter.
While others are content to follow well-worn paths, you're the one quietly reshaping the landscape around you. You don't just participate in life—you orchestrate it. There's something fundamentally different about how you approach challenges, deadlines, and opportunities. Where others see obstacles, you see puzzles waiting to be solved. Where others hesitate, you're already three steps ahead, mentally mapping the route to success.
This isn't about being pushy or impatient (though I suspect you've been called both). This is about possessing a rare combination of vision, determination, and an almost magnetic pull toward progress. You're wired differently, and understanding that wiring is the key to unlocking not just better performance, but deeper satisfaction in everything you do.
Over the years, I've worked with thousands of leaders across six continents, from corporate boardrooms to innovation hubs, from government departments to multinational organizations. I've seen every personality type imaginable, but BLAZERS like you? You're the ones who make things happen when everyone else is still debating whether they should happen at all. You're the reason projects finish early, teams exceed targets, and organizations transform from good to exceptional.
Now, I know what you're thinking right now—this looks like a long report, and you're probably tempted to skip straight to the action steps at the end. That's classic BLAZER behavior, and honestly, I'd be disappointed if you weren't already mentally fast-forwarding to the "what do I do with this information" part. But here's the thing: the real gold is in understanding the why behind your patterns, not just the what-to-do-about-them. Trust me on this one—the journey through this report will give you insights that transform how you approach everything from Monday morning meetings to Sunday family dinners.
But here's what's fascinating about your BLAZER DNA: it's not just about getting results (though you excel at that). It's about your unique ability to see potential everywhere—in people, in processes, in possibilities that others haven't even considered yet. You don't just solve today's problems; you're already preventing tomorrow's crises. You don't just meet expectations; you redefine what's possible.
The challenge, of course, is that this gift comes with its own set of complexities. Your natural drive to push forward can sometimes leave others feeling overwhelmed. Your instinct to take charge can occasionally be misinterpreted as impatience with those who move at a different pace. Your high standards—which consistently deliver exceptional results—can sometimes feel intimidating to colleagues who are still finding their confidence.
This report isn't about changing who you are. The world needs more BLAZERS, not fewer. Instead, this is about fine-tuning your approach so that your natural strengths create even greater impact while building the kind of relationships and sustainable success that will serve you for decades to come.
What you'll discover in the pages ahead is a deep dive into the psychology behind your BLAZER personality—why you think the way you do, what motivates your decision-making, and how to leverage your natural tendencies for maximum effectiveness. More importantly, you'll learn how to channel your drive in ways that inspire rather than exhaust those around you, creating the kind of collaborative momentum that turns good teams into unstoppable forces.
We'll explore the nuanced art of strategic patience (yes, it's a thing, and yes, you can master it), the power of delegation that actually works, and how to create space for others to contribute their unique strengths while still maintaining the momentum and standards you value so highly.
This journey is about evolution, not revolution. It's about taking the incredible foundation of your BLAZER DNA and building upon it with greater awareness, deeper emotional intelligence, and more sophisticated leadership strategies. By the time you finish this report, you'll not only understand yourself better—you'll have a clear roadmap for becoming the kind of leader others are genuinely excited to follow.
Ready to discover what happens when natural drive meets strategic wisdom? Let's dive in.
How It Started… and How It's Going
I'd bet my last coffee that "rest" never came naturally to you. Even as a kid, you probably organised the playground games, questioned the house rules when they didn't make sense, and got restless the moment any story hit its slow chapter.
The truth is, you only feel truly alive when your foot's on the pedal—not because you fear stillness, but because forward movement is your love language. The urge to DO, to improve, to push boundaries isn't just what you do; it's stitched into your very DNA. It's how you say "I care"—for projects, for people, for every precious moment that could be optimised.
You've probably been told you're "intense" or "driven" more times than you can count. What people don't always understand is that this intensity isn't about being difficult—it's about seeing possibilities everywhere and feeling genuinely excited about bringing them to life.
What Makes Your Engine Run—The Real BLAZER DNA
• You treat the phrase "good enough" as a personal invitation to excellence (and secretly wonder why others don't feel the same way) • You don't just solve problems; you hunt them down like a detective with a sixth sense for inefficiency • You get genuinely fidgety when meetings drag on without clear outcomes, and you mentally rewrite agendas in real-time ("What if we just skip to the action items… right now?") • At home and work, you naturally gravitate toward the challenging, unglamorous-but-vital tasks that others avoid • You feel most energized when you can see tangible progress, preferably measured in concrete results rather than lengthy discussions
Let's be honest—you're not chasing adrenaline for its own sake. What you love is the deep satisfaction of traction, the quickening heartbeat that comes when you can feel momentum building and know you're the one making it happen.
Work & Teams: The 'Why Wait?' Catalyst
Your colleagues learn quickly that you're results in human form. You're naturally drawn to the big challenges, the looming deadlines, the projects that make others quietly think, "That's too much work for the timeline we have."
But here's what makes you special: people don't just rely on your ability to get things done—they count on your standards. Even the ones who occasionally tease you for "taking over" know deep down that when you're involved, excellence isn't optional.
You set the gold standard by believing that: • Progress should be visible and measurable, not endlessly discussed in theoretical terms • If Plan A hits a roadblock, you've already mentally mapped Plans Q, R, and Z—sometimes before others even realize A was struggling • Feedback is most valuable when it's immediately actionable, delivered with clarity and just enough tough love to inspire real change • Deadlines aren't suggestions; they're commitments that deserve respect
The Beautiful Challenge: Sometimes your helpful "let's just get this done" energy can feel overwhelming to teammates who process information differently or need more time to feel confident in their contributions. Your gift lies in pushing people beyond their comfort zones—the opportunity is in creating space for different working styles to flourish alongside your natural momentum.
Your Work Success Tips: • Practice the "24-hour rule": When you have a brilliant solution, write it down but wait 24 hours before implementing it—this gives others space to contribute • Create "thinking time" in meetings: Build in 5-minute silent reflection periods before jumping to solutions • Use "What if we tried..." instead of "We should...": This invites collaboration rather than directing action • Celebrate process wins, not just outcome wins: Acknowledge when the team works well together, even if results are still pending
Teams: Building Bridges, Not Just Results
Working with you is like having a personal trainer for productivity—inspiring, challenging, and occasionally exhausting. You naturally elevate team performance because mediocrity makes you physically uncomfortable.
The Good: You're the reason teams exceed their targets, finish projects early, and develop confidence they didn't know they had. You spot potential problems before they become crises and you're not afraid to have difficult conversations that lead to breakthrough results.
The Challenge: Your natural pace can leave some team members feeling like they're constantly playing catch-up. What feels like helpful urgency to you can feel like pressure to others.
Your Team Leadership Tips: • Match your communication style to theirs: Some people need time to process—give them advance notice of decisions when possible • Ask "What support do you need?" instead of "Why isn't this done yet?" • Create psychological safety: Start team meetings by asking "What's working well?" before diving into problems • Delegate outcomes, not methods: Tell people what you need achieved, but let them figure out how to get there
Home Life: The BLAZER's Domestic Domain
Here's where things get really interesting. At home, your BLAZER DNA doesn't clock out—it just shifts gears. Your house probably runs like a well-oiled machine, and your family has learned that when you have a plan, things happen.
The Beautiful Truth About BLAZER Homes: Your home is likely the most organized, efficient, and well-maintained in your neighborhood. You don't just live in your space—you optimize it. The bills are paid early, the calendar is color-coded, and you've probably already planned next year's holiday before this year's is finished.
You bring the same excellence to domestic life that you bring to everything else: • Family events are memorable because you think through every detail • Problems get solved quickly because you don't let small issues become big ones • Your children learn early that commitments matter and that effort gets recognized • Your home feels secure because someone (you) is always thinking ahead
The Honest Challenge: But let's be real—sometimes your family feels like they're living in a productivity workshop rather than a relaxed home. Your "helpful suggestions" for how they could organize their rooms, manage their time, or approach their homework can feel more like performance reviews than family conversations.
Your partner might occasionally feel like they're being managed rather than loved, especially when you reorganize their stuff "to help" or create systems they didn't ask for. And your children? They love your support, but sometimes they just want to mess around without it becoming a teachable moment about efficiency.
The Sunday Morning Reality Check: You know that feeling when everyone else is lounging in pajamas at 10 AM and you've already done three loads of laundry, planned the week's meals, and started a home improvement project? That's your BLAZER DNA working overtime when it should be in neutral.
Your Home Life Success Tips: • Create "no-optimization zones": Designate certain times or spaces where inefficiency is perfectly acceptable • Ask before helping: "Would you like me to help you organize this, or are you happy with how it is?" gives people choice • Schedule "mess time": Allow for unstructured, unproductive family time where the goal is simply to be together • Practice the "good enough" rule: Some things at home don't need to be perfect—they just need to work for your family • Let others lead sometimes: When your partner or children want to plan something, resist the urge to take over—even if you could do it "better"
Family Dynamics: When Love Meets Leadership
Your family knows they can count on you for anything—from crisis management to making dreams happen. You're the one who researches the best schools, plans the most memorable holidays, and somehow manages to be at every important event despite your packed schedule.
What Your Family Loves About You: • You make things happen that others just talk about • You believe in their potential and push them to achieve more than they thought possible • You create stability and security through your natural planning and organisation • You're fiercely protective and will move mountains to support them
What Sometimes Challenges Them: • Your "helpful improvements" can feel like criticism of how they naturally operate • Your high standards can create pressure to perform rather than just be • Your solution-focused approach sometimes skips over the emotional processing they need • Your packed schedule can make spontaneous family time feel impossible
Your Family Relationship Tips: • Practice "emotional first aid": When someone comes to you with a problem, ask "Do you want me to help solve this, or do you need me to just listen?" • Create family-free zones: Let other family members take the lead on some decisions, even if you could do it more efficiently • Schedule one-on-one time: Your individual attention is incredibly valuable—make sure each family member gets it regularly • Celebrate their way, not just your way: If they want to celebrate by doing nothing, that's valid too • Model rest: Your family needs to see that even BLAZERS need downtime
Friendships: The BLAZER's Social Circle
Your friends know they've won the lottery with you in their corner. You're the one who remembers birthdays, organizes the group trips, and shows up with solutions when their world feels chaotic.
What Makes You an Amazing Friend: • You're incredibly loyal and will drop everything to help when someone needs you • You inspire your friends to pursue goals they've been putting off • You create experiences and memories through your natural event-planning abilities • You're honest enough to tell them what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear
The Friendship Friction Points: Sometimes your friends need you to slow down and just be present with them in their mess, rather than immediately jumping to fix-it mode. Your natural tendency to offer solutions can occasionally make them feel like their emotions aren't being heard.
Your Friendship Success Tips: • Master the art of "supportive silence": Sometimes the best thing you can offer is your presence, not your problem-solving • Ask "What kind of support would help you most right now?" before offering advice • Plan some low-key hangouts: Not every friendship interaction needs to be an event or adventure • Share your own struggles: Let your friends support you too—they want to give back • Respect their pace: If a friend needs time to make decisions, resist the urge to push for faster resolution
Cheeky Truths (With Love and Zero Judgment)
Let's have an honest moment, shall we?
• You think delegation means assigning someone a task… then sending three follow-up messages to ensure they're "on track" (because your version of helpful check-ins might feel like micromanagement to others) • You have an extraordinary talent for diving into projects with both feet, full commitment, and boundless energy. The "thinking it through first" part? Well, that happens—usually while you're already making progress • You genuinely believe you don't need help, but honestly, when was the last time anyone saw you truly, completely rest without a mental to-do list running in the background? • You rarely pause to celebrate your victories because you're already mentally mapping the next challenge, the next improvement, the next mountain to move • At home, you've probably reorganized someone else's space "to help them" and been genuinely surprised when they weren't grateful • You love your family and friends so much that you want to optimize their lives too—even when they haven't asked for optimization
Here's the thing: you don't trust others to execute at your level of excellence, which is why you end up writing "team" emails at midnight while everyone else is posting stories from their evening out. But who's really winning in this scenario?
When you jump in with characteristic enthusiasm and energy, you absolutely get things moving—but you can also inadvertently overwhelm people who aren't naturally wired to operate in top gear from the moment they wake up. They're not slacking or being difficult; they're just not BLAZERS.
And let's be completely honest: you tell yourself you don't need people until suddenly you do, and then your "I've got this handled" approach leaves you with an overwhelming pile of responsibilities and four unread messages from colleagues who would have gladly helped if you'd let them into the process earlier.
The Strategic BLAZER's Self-Care Blueprint
If you want to maintain your edge while building sustainable success, learn to:
• Delegate with genuine trust: Assign the task, set clear expectations, then close the laptop and resist the urge to "just check" how it's going • Embrace strategic patience: Trust that some processes need time to unfold properly—rushing isn't always optimizing • Reframe downtime as performance enhancement: Rest isn't lost productivity; it's where your best insights and creative solutions are born • Recognize burnout signals early: That feeling of irritation with everyone's "slow" pace? That's not weakness talking—that's your system telling you it needs sustainable fuel, not just more caffeine • Accept collaborative leadership: Sometimes slowing down to bring others along isn't inefficiency—it's championship-level team building
Here's a truth that might surprise you: the world's most successful leaders have learned that "team building" includes building your own resilience and well-being. Treat rest and reflection as strategic priorities—your breakthrough ideas need space to breathe between victories.
Growth-Focused Coaching Questions
Take a moment to really consider these:
• What could you discover by letting someone else lead a project—just once—and focusing purely on supporting their vision? • What's one recent victory you could celebrate not by launching into the next challenge, but by actually savoring the success? • Who in your life needs your support not to move faster or achieve more, but simply to feel seen and valued at their own natural pace? • Where in your life are you gaining impressive momentum… but potentially losing joy in the process? • At home, what would happen if you let things be "good enough" for a whole week?

Long after the spreadsheets are archived and the project timelines are forgotten, people will remember you for making the impossible feel achievable.
Your 4-Week BLAZER Development Challenge
Week 1 Challenge: The Strategic Pause
This is your challenge: Before implementing any solution or making any decision this week, practice the "24-hour pause." Write own your initial idea, then wait 24 hours before acting on it. During this pause, actively seek input from at least two other people.
This is why this challenge will help you: This practice will strengthen your collaborative leadership skills and help you discover valuable perspectives you might miss when moving at your natural BLAZER pace. It builds trust with your team and often leads to even better solutions than your original idea.
Tips to complete the challenge: • Set a phone reminder for 24 hours after writing down each idea • Use phrases like "I have an initial thought, but I'd love your perspective first" • Ask specific questions: "What am I missing?" or "How would you approach this?" • Keep a notebook specifically for "pause ideas" to track your thoughts
How you can measure success: Track how many times you successfully paused, count the number of additional insights you gained from others, and note any improvements in team engagement or solution quality compared to your usual approach.
Week 2 Challenge: The Delegation Deep Dive
This is your challenge: Choose one significant task or project that you would normally handle yourself and delegate it completely to someone else. Set clear expectations and outcomes, then resist all urges to check in, offer suggestions, or "help" until the agreed deadline.
This is why this challenge will help you: True delegation builds your team's capabilities, frees up your mental energy for higher-level strategic thinking, and demonstrates genuine trust in others' abilities. It also reveals hidden talents in your team that you might not discover if you always take the lead.
Tips to complete the challenge: • Choose someone who has 70% of the skills needed (they'll develop the other 30%) • Write down exactly what success looks like, but not how to achieve it • Schedule one check-in at the halfway point, but make it supportive, not directive • Physically remove yourself from the workspace or project area when possible • Keep a "trust journal" to write down your concerns instead of acting on them
How you can measure success: The task is completed to an acceptable standard without your direct intervention, the person feels empowered and confident, and you've freed up time for other priorities. Bonus points if they approach the task differently than you would have but still achieve the desired outcome.
Week 3 Challenge: The Celebration Stop
This is your challenge: Identify three recent wins (personal or professional) that you achieved but didn't properly celebrate. This week, create intentional celebration moments for each one. Then, for any new achievements this week, pause and celebrate before moving to the next goal.
This is why this challenge will help you: Celebration isn't just feel-good fluff—it reinforces positive behaviors, builds momentum, and helps your brain recognize patterns of success. It also models healthy achievement cycles for your team and family, showing them that accomplishments deserve recognition.
Tips to complete the challenge: • Make celebrations specific to the achievement (dinner out for a big project, a walk in nature for a personal goal) • Include others who contributed to your success • Write down what you learned or what you're proud of from each win • Set a phone reminder to celebrate new wins within 24 hours of achieving them • Share your celebrations with someone who matters to you
How you can measure success: You've celebrated all three past wins and any new achievements this week, you feel more satisfied with your accomplishments, and others around you notice your improved mood and energy. Track whether celebrating actually motivates you for future challenges.
Week 4 Challenge: The Relationship Investment
This is your challenge: Choose one important relationship (family member, colleague, or friend) where your BLAZER intensity might have created some distance. Spend focused, unproductive time with this person—no agenda, no problem-solving, no optimization—just being present and listening to understand their world better.
This is why this challenge will help you: Relationships are the foundation of sustainable success. When people feel truly seen and heard by you, they become more willing to follow your lead and support your vision. This challenge builds emotional intelligence and creates deeper connections that will serve you for years.
Tips to complete the challenge: • Put away all devices and give them your complete attention • Ask open-ended questions about their interests, concerns, or dreams • Practice reflecting back what you hear before offering any suggestions • Resist the urge to turn their stories into teachable moments or action plans • Plan activities they enjoy, even if they seem "inefficient" to you
How you can measure success: The person feels heard and valued, your relationship feels stronger and more connected, and you've gained new insights into their perspective. Notice if they become more receptive to your ideas or more willing to collaborate with you in the future.
Remember: These challenges aren't about changing your BLAZER nature—they're about adding new dimensions to your natural strengths. Each week builds on the previous one, creating a more well-rounded and sustainable approach to leadership and relationships. Your drive and determination are gifts; these challenges help you use them in ways that inspire and elevate everyone around you.
