Disruptor Diaries: Healthcare Education Innovation Unleashed

S2 E24 Increasing Self-Awareness with Human Design

In this episode, Rachel Kelter [https://rachelkelter.com] facilitates a conversation with the NPD collaborative exploring Human Design, not as a rigid framework, but as a reflective tool for deepening self-awareness and understanding how we move through the world. Together, we unpack what Human Design is (and isn't), and how it can offer insight into your patterns, your decision-making, and the ways you show up in your work and relationships. This conversation isn't about labels. It's about language. Language that helps you notice your tendencies, honor your energy, and make more intentional choices as a leader, educator, and teammate. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or already deep in your Human Design chart, this episode invites you to pause, tune inward, and reflect on what self-awareness can unlock for you.
