Hum, I’m a bit struggling with that one 🤔

I have 3rd Line for Culture Sphere + Mountains for Environment.

I absolutely don’t see myself in a startup environment but there are elements I resonate with in both descriptions.

The hands-on learning, the constantly evolving spaces to experiment and learn, the need for alone time to gain perspective. And that probably explains why the last 9/5 job I had 10 years ago was so ill-suited.

Becoming self-employed was apparently a great choice. But I don’t really see how to leverage this 3rd line and best align it with the idea of "leading through wisdom and big-picture vision".

Hey Lauren

Thank you for sharing. My culture sphere and environment don’t seem to align at all so wondered if you had any insights

I’m a 5th line and caves

I thrive in small, intimate, cosy spaces for creating and doing

The 5th line kind of suggests the opposite to that. For example, I’ve just been at a 2 day conference and have returned home completely exhausted from the energy of ‘big room peopling’! My social battery is flat as a fart 😂

I can however see how other elements of the 5th line fit for me

I also feel conflicted. I'm a 5th line cave person. So meant to work with large and small groups? As a writer now I can be in my cave and write for large groups which feels ok I think but should that be my aim? Would it be better to focus on a smaller group? Hmm... or both? A small intimate group for the really juicy stuff and more generic information for the large group. I really relate to needing my own space and being able to work at my own pace. I also feel my leadership potential but fear burning out again.
