Stop Leading Blind: Human Design for Stronger Teams with Stefanie Carlstedt

Stefanie Carlstedt from Nebraska shares how moving away from cookie-cutter leadership transformed her approach to managing teams. She explains why understanding individual differences—through tools like Human Design—can shift team dynamics, reduce burnout, and improve results. You’ll hear how recognizing the different types – Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors – can shape better roles, workflows, and communication. Stefanie also breaks down how decision-making styles vary by design and why honoring those differences matters for leaders and teams alike.

Stefanie unpacks how energy alignment influences leadership presence, and how self-awareness can prevent common leadership traps. You’ll hear practical examples of how honoring design differences fosters trust and smoother collaboration, and leads to smarter delegation.
