The Pulse
You spark change wherever you go.
Catalysts spark momentum. You ignite change, rally energy, and refuse to let things stay stuck — rooms shift when you walk in, and ideas come alive around you. Your boldness gives other people courage; you say the thing everyone was thinking and start the thing everyone was avoiding.
That fire burns bright but not always long. The spark that starts things isn't always the patience that finishes them, and your intensity can overwhelm quieter people. Your growth is in sustaining momentum past the first rush, and in channeling your energy where it'll do the most good.

The Pulse in depth
At your best
You get things unstuck and make change feel exciting instead of threatening.
Under pressure
You burn hot and scatter — starting five things, finishing none. Pick the one that matters and stay with it.
In relationships
You bring passion and aliveness. Slowing to match someone's pace makes them feel chosen, not swept along.
