Organizer of organizers: Your organization skills are im-pres-sive! . It's just in your DNA. You are the one that was organizing pots & lids as a baby sitting on the floor. You see things others don't as your view often includes order, and processes which bring ease and joy to those who have to interact with them. Not in a militant way, but it simply brings you joy to help others live more organized...and seeing their joy.
You are in the ‘Deets’: You get the big picture yet do not get caught up in the brainstorming sessions….you likely prefer a spreadsheet to a white board with a brain dump. You have been called crazy because you are excited by the details and gain serious props for watching the details come together as if a well synchronized dance.

Independent Team Player- Sounds like a chameleon, we know! :) You are self-disciplined and get things done when working independently however you truly LOVE being part of a team that wants to turn both ordinary and extraordinary days into lavish experiences.
