Career Contessa
About this episode

Have you ever made a big work decision—only to second-guess it immediately? Or felt like you’re constantly pushing against a career path that’s supposed to feel “right”? According to Human Design expert Erin Claire Jones, the issue might not be your ambition—it might be your alignment. In this episode, Erin joins us to talk about her new book, How Do You Choose?, and how Human Design can offer a practical framework for making better career and life decisions. You’ll learn:

  • The 3 key Human Design elements that influence how you make decisions at work
  • Why “success” might look—and feel—very different depending on your type
  • How understanding your own design (and your coworkers’) can reduce burnout and improve collaboration
