The LEADER is the pillar of their community. Selfless and emotionally intelligent, LEADERS are good at connecting with others and building relationships.

LEADERS are disciplined, self-aware, and responsible individuals with a talent for meeting and exceeding the expectations of those around them. Strategic and intuitive, it doesn’t take you long to be elevated to places of leadership and influence. Wherever you go, people expect great things of you and willingly invest in your future.

Of all the Clarity Types, LEADERS are the most self-aware and emotionally intelligent. A natural peacemaker, the LEADER often does what the situation calls for, even if it means overlooking personal needs or desires.

LEADERS tend to be most concerned with how an unexpected pregnancy will impact their relationships and future opportunities.

As a LEADER, you've worked hard to develop a positive reputation in your community. You greatly value the good opinion of influential figures in your life and draw much of your identity from what they say. What’s more, you know how people talk, and you fear the stigma of an ill-timed pregnancy. What if this pregnancy negatively affects your reputation? What if it damages the reputations of those you love?

LEADERS also worry about the pregnancy’s impact on future opportunities. As a LEADER, you see your future as closely tied to your public identity, and you hope to accomplish great things with your life. What if this pregnancy closes doors or limits your potential to succeed?

With your strengths and concerns in mind, here are some suggestions designed to bring self-awareness, confidence, and clarity to the LEADER.

What makes LEADERS extraordinary is their ability to connect with others and cultivate meaningful relationships. Unexpected pregnancy may cause a ripple effect in your community, but it does not have to define your self-worth, identity, or future. You are still the same person of talent, conviction, and potential as you were before, and you are more than capable of navigating this moment.

As a LEADER, you may feel compelled to isolate yourself or withdraw from others. High impact LEADERS take responsibility for their actions, but they also welcome the wisdom and support of people they trust. Allow this pregnancy to reveal who your true friends are, and surround yourself with people who want your good and believe in your future.

Some LEADERS are prone to assigning too much weight to the thoughts and opinions of others at great cost to themselves. For you, it is important to pause and take inventory of your thoughts, fears, and concerns. Allow this pregnancy to bring into sharp focus what matters most to you. Don’t mistake the approval of others for a life well-lived.

Continue to have agency over your life and pursue clarity for yourself. As a LEADER, there is no limit to where you can go and who you can impact in life, so long as you remain faithful to your authentic self.
