As a Projector, Linda has learned the importance of waiting to be recognized and invited before sharing her wisdom. This approach has transformed her life and work, allowing her to guide others more effectively while maintaining her energy.
  • Energy Patterns: Generators and Manifesting Generators have steady, sustainable energy, while Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors have intermittent, unsustainable energy. Understanding these patterns can help individuals manage their energy more effectively.
  • Human Design can be applied to various aspects of life, including business, relationships, and personal growth. For leaders, it offers insights into communication styles, networking approaches, and team dynamics. By honoring one's own design and that of others, Landon believes people can create more harmonious and productive environments, both personally and professionally.
