You Are Your Own Design: Embracing Your Uniqueness in Business A Whole Lotta Shift

Episode Summary
In this episode of 'A Whole Lot of Shift', host Jen Ingram discusses the importance of recognizing who you are and who you are not in building a business. She criticizes the use of personality tests and theories like Myers Briggs, Enneagram, and Human Design in determining how to run businesses or live life. Instead, she advocates for individuals to stop living by someone else's standards and to live life on their terms, and in line with their true selves.
Jen shares an anecdote about her guest appearance on another podcast where this topic came up, as well as her experience with a coach deeply into human design. She believes that recognizing individuality and authenticity are key in successful business growth, and dismisses the notion of one's life fitting into theoretical boxes.
