  • Ep. 21 Unlock Your Business Potential Through Human Design W/ Jackie Dragone
    Mar 25 2025

    Jackie Dragone is an intuitive business mentor for online coaches and visionaries that want to make six figure years and beyond their normal. She integrates human design and business strategy to create brands and content that cut through the noise and show your influence and leadership.

    In this episode she reveals how to use human design as a powerful tool for aligning your business strategy with your authentic energy and personality traits.

    • Human design combines multiple systems including chakras and the I Ching to map your energy patterns
    • Your energy type (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector) determines your optimal work style and sales approach
    • Your profile or "brand type" shows how others experience you and how to position your marketing
    • Defined energy centers indicate your natural strengths while undefined centers show where you absorb others' energy
    • Understanding your design helps eliminate "shoulds" and comparison, replacing them with aligned business strategies
    • Human design isn't about limitations but about leveraging your natural gifts for greater success and fulfillment
    • Self-love and self-acceptance become powerful foundations for authentic business building
