The Whisper?
Maybe you know a little about Human Design but haven’t fully considered its potential to transform how you lead your life. People see you as a leader at work, but deep down, you feel something is missing—a spark that once made you feel alive. With your children grown and your career established, you’re wondering if it’s too late to chase those dreams you set aside. Yet, your heart whispers that it’s never too late to rediscover and pursue what truly lights you up. You feel stuck, torn between the comfort of what you know and the call to step into the unknown—but a quiet, persistent ache for purpose is urging you to choose something more before this moment slips away and you go back to sleep.
Are You Second Guessing Yourself?
You doubt yourself. You’ve mastered the art of solving real-world problems but somewhere along the way you’ve lost touch with what you truly desire. Your dreams are buried so deeply that even thinking of unearthing them feels overwhelming—even reckless. You’re unsure how or where to begin. Something inside you is terrified that you will lose control of your life as you know it. Another part of you is perhaps more afraid of one day looking back with regret.
Hi, I’m Kristin
During my 20-year career at Ameritech, “impossible” projects kept landing on my desk, and I always found unexpected solutions. Despite my success, something was off. Then, on the night of my 40th birthday, lightning struck our home – for real, and my transformation began.
I took a leap of faith – out of a General Manager position and into personal growth. My journey in trusting my inner guidance to lead me on my soul’s path began. I launched Flowering Heart Center, a vibrant Spiritual sanctuary and meditation center. My deep dive into mystery schools in Australia and India have allowed me to build spiritual communities and guide others to more fulfilling lives.
Discovering Human Design was a pivotal moment - the missing piece in working with clients, and the answer to why I had to leave my corporate job. In fact, in that first session, I received confirmation to leave the mystery school and create my own path. I leapt – right into the world of Human Design.
Today, I offer an online Lead by Design Course inspired by my third book on leadership: Lead by Design: Applying Human Design Principles to Leadership Strategies.
Based on my Human Design, I’m here to guide you toward your big dreams, despite limitations.
You’ve experienced success.
Now you feel something is missing and don’t know what.
You want to experience a fulfilling life - to lead it rather than be led.
What’s your dream – the one you keep setting aside for later?
What leap do you need to take now?
Do you know what’s behind your hesitation to leap?
Is there a story you tell yourself about why you aren’t ready?
Let’s work together to align with your Design, gain clarity and create forward momentum.
Discover a powerful journey of self-discovery, where you’ll unlock the gifts of your Human Design, explore new possibilities, and step onto a path that makes you feel more alive and engaged in your life.
You’re ready for more—a new direction, a deeper purpose, a path that feels right. Lead by Design helps you align with your unique blueprint, clarify your path and build trust in your inner guidance to lead the way. This journey feels magical. Your next adventure is waiting.

You’ll gather the right tools to bring your vision to life while exploring the World Design – understanding how external forces can support or impede your progress.

Does This Sound Like You?
You know you're a good leader. You've got the track record, the respect, and the experience to prove it. But despite all that, something feels off. Instead of leading with full confidence, you're stuck second-guessing your decisions, comparing yourself to others, and wondering if you're really making the impact you're capable of. It's not about lacking skills-you've got those. It's about finding your unique way of leading, the style that feels authentic, powerful, and true to who you are. If that resonates, you're not alone. Here are six common struggles leaders face when they're trying to step into their true leadership identity.
Imposter Syndrome
Despite Success
You've achieved a lot, but deep down, you still wonder if you're just lucky—or if people will eventually realize you don't have it all figured out.
Overwhelmed By Comparison
You constantly measure yourself against other leaders, trying to adopt styles that don't feel natural, leaving you disconnected from your own leadership voice.
Decision Fatigue & Second-Guessing
Even when you make good choices, you overthink, replay scenarios in your head, and question if you could've done better.
Difficulty Leading
Others Consistently
You know you can influence people, but struggle to consistently connect your vision to your team's motivation in a way that feels authentic.
Feeling Stuck In The "Shoulds"
You feel pulled between what leadership books or mentors say you should do and what your gut tells you, creating inconsistency and frustration.
Craving A Unique Leadership Identity
You know you have the potential to lead in a big way, but you're still figuring out who you are as a leader-and how to own that with confidence.
What Others Are Saying
Before taking Kristin Panek's Lead by Design course, I was feeling stuck and in self-doubt. My weeks spent with this course were impactful and timely for exploring new ways of understanding myself and those around me. I realized I had held onto a career and volunteer work that I had outgrown because they felt safe, even though my heart had moved on to new passions.
This journey with Kristin and my fellow participants helped shine a bright light on how much I had been holding myself back and provided the insight and skills to let go of the old ways I had been comfortable in, but not flourishing under. Kristin shared new tools for communicating and listening that have paved the way to letting go of those old beliefs so I could experience greater joy and freedom.
During the program, I was additionally supported and guided with grace and love during my father's time in hospice and his passing, turning sadness and grief into being able to experience the tremendous gifts I was being given with him at the end. For that, I am grateful beyond words.
In understanding that I am an Emotional Manifesting Generator, I'm learning to give myself permission to follow my heart, which includes focusing my energies on my love for travel and growing my Nature and Wildlife Photography business. (I held my first solo photo exhibition this past winter!)
I am grateful for this journey and the transformations it has brought to my life.
