Expedition Leader
You plan the adventure and bring everyone along for it.
Expedition Leaders want to see the world, and they want company. You're the one who turns "we should go hiking sometime" into a date, a route and a group chat. New experiences feel better shared, and you're happiest when the whole crew is somewhere none of you have been before.

As a friend
Half the things your friends have done, they did because of you: the camping trip, the concert abroad, the first time on skis. You make yes the easy answer. Check in with the friend who hesitates; for some people, the best adventure with you is a coffee, just the two of you.
In love
You want a partner who's also a teammate: someone to explore with, plan the next trip with and bring into your wide circle. Love feels alive when you're discovering things together. Make sure there's time for just the two of you as well; not every date needs a guest list or an itinerary.
At work
You lead naturally when the path isn't mapped: new teams, launches, events, travel and outdoor work. People follow you because you make the unknown feel exciting and safe enough. Delegate the details you don't enjoy, and listen to the quiet people in your crew; they often spot the risk you're too excited to see.
