11: Self-Trust Is the New Leadership Strategy: Ditch the One-Size-Fits-All Approach
If you’ve ever felt like you’re following all the “right” steps and still feeling stuck—this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about why the future of business and leadership is individualized, not cookie-cutter. I’m sharing my personal stories of trying to fit into molds that drained me—both in my 9-5 and in my business—and how Human Design helped me reconnect with my unique path.
✨ You’ll learn:
Why one-size-fits-all strategies don’t work
How to stop outsourcing your decisions to “gurus”
Tips for bridging individuality with your clients and team
This is your invitation to break the mold and build a business that actually feels like you.
🎧 Listen now and start leading on your own terms.
