In this episode, Lori explores human design, a concept that blends spirituality and practicality to enhance decision-making and communication in business. There are four different human types found in human design. Generators, manifesters, projectors, and reflectors—each illustrated with examples of celebrities like Beyoncé and Barack Obama.
Lori encourages listeners to discover their own type and apply this knowledge to improve business interactions and marketing strategies. Actionable advice includes finding out one's human design, inquiring about clients' types, and experimenting with communication styles on social media to leverage the benefits of human design in professional settings.
