Human Design, applied to a working group, as an operating manual instead of a personality quiz.
Every team has the same quiet problem. The people in it are being managed as though they all process information the same way, decide at the same speed, and recover from pressure on the same timeline. They do not.
One person needs to sleep on a decision before it is sound. Another is physically incapable of waiting and will produce the right answer in eleven seconds. One person is built to initiate and gets labeled aggressive. One person is built to see the whole system and gets labeled critical.
Nobody is broken. The design is underutilized, and no one has ever named it out loud. So the team invents stories instead. She is difficult. He is checked out. They cannot make a decision. Those stories are expensive, and they are almost always wrong.
Human Design maps how a specific person is wired to take in information, make sound decisions, and spend effort. Applied to a group, it produces something more useful than any individual assessment. It produces a composite map of the whole team.
Each participant receives a written report built from their own chart. Their type, how they are wired to reach a sound decision, what work sustains them, and what work costs them double.
Every participant side by side. Where the team is over-indexed, where it is thin, which pairings run clean, and which pairings will always require translation.
Not a lecture. Participants see their own design, then see it against the person sitting next to them. This is where the shared language actually gets built.
Every name, type, decision-making style, and optimal working condition on a single page. This is the artifact that outlives the offsite and ends up pinned in the team channel.
A sample of what the team map looks like when it is finished. Real names, real placements, one document a manager can read in four minutes and refer back to for years.
Human Design draws on astrology, and that raises an eyebrow in a corporate setting. It should. Here is the honest framing.
You do not have to believe anything about where this system came from for it to be useful in a room. What the session actually produces is a shared, specific vocabulary for differences your team already knows exist but has no permission to discuss.
It gives someone language for "I need twenty-four hours before I can answer that" without it sounding like avoidance. It gives a manager language for "you are not lazy, you are being asked to work in a way that costs you double" without it sounding like an excuse. It gives a team a reason to redesign the meeting that has never worked.
You get the same outcome you would want from a well-run assessment debrief. Less interpersonal friction. Better meeting design. Clearer delegation. A common language that outlasts the day. The framing is unusual. The output is operational.
Sessions are delivered in plain business language. Nothing about the format requires belief, disclosure beyond a birth date, or participation in anything a team member is uncomfortable with. Individual reports go directly to each participant. Nothing personal is shared with management without consent.
Pricing shown covers a team of up to twelve. Additional participants are billed per seat, and larger groups are quoted on request.
$225 each beyond twelve, including report, map inclusion, and seat.
$495 for a sixty-minute private session with a manager or executive.
$350, including how the new person fits the existing map.
Quarterly sessions, unlimited new-hire reports, standing leadership access. Quoted.
Signature talks for leadership summits, company offsites, women's conferences, and industry events. Every talk is delivered in plain language and built around one idea an audience can use on Monday.
Why your highest performers burn out first, and what it costs to keep managing people as though they are interchangeable.
Decision-making speed is a design feature, not a character trait. How to build meetings that do not punish the people who need time.
An introduction to Human Design as a practical operating framework, for audiences who do not want the mystical version.
For women in midlife who have been told to push harder. What changes when you find out you were never designed to push at all.
Fee depends on audience size, format, and travel. Nonprofit and association rates available. Travel and lodging billed at cost for events outside the Mountain West.
This is not a personality test that tells people who they are. It is a working document that tells a team how to run.
I have been building brands online since 2013. I grew a publication to more than one hundred thousand monthly readers, signed two traditional book deals, and then got interested in the thing underneath all of it, which is why some people thrive in a structure that quietly destroys someone else.
I am the founder of Andie Thueson LLC and the Power Era Collective, host of The Power Era podcast, and the creator of Chart-Led Brand Architecture. I have delivered several hundred individual, couples, and family readings.
I work in plain language. I have no patience for vague self-improvement content, and I run a team session the same way I would run a business strategy session, because that is what it is. Companies do not hire me for a spiritual experience. They hire me because something in the way their people work together is not landing, and nobody can name why.
Someone who did not know me saw right to my soul. I tell anyone who will listen, you must do this.
We learned the best way to communicate and work together based on our design, and I have already seen a huge shift.
She made the complexities easy to understand. I refer back to my reading frequently.
A formal proposal with scope, deliverables, terms, and an invoice-ready total, written so you can forward it straight to whoever approves it.
Headcount, format, and a rough timeline. Five minutes at most.
Either with the proposal itself, or with two questions if the scope needs clarifying first.
The proposal is built for an approver, not just for you. Itemized pricing, W-9 on request, net terms available.
