The Whisper?
Maybe you know a little about Human Design but haven't considered how it could change the way you lead your life. People see yourself as a leader at work, but deep down, something is missing — a spark you set aside when life got busy. Your children are grown, your career is established, and now that whisper is getting louder.
You're wondering if it's too late. It's not. But the window won't stay open forever.
Are You Second Guessing Yourself?
You doubt yourself. You've mastered solving real-world problems but somewhere along the way you lost touch with what you truly want. Your dreams feel buried — even thinking about them feels overwhelming. Part of you is terrified of losing control of your life as you know it. Another part is more afraid of looking back one day 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. I started learning to trust my inner guidance. 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 through their own thresholds.
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 — born from my third book and forty years of guiding leaders.
My Human Design built me to guide people toward their biggest dreams. That's what this course is for.
You’ve experienced success.
Now you feel something is missing and don’t know what.
You want to lead your life — not be led by it.
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, find clarity, and move.
A ten-week journey into your Human Design — where you'll see your gifts clearly, explore what's possible, and step onto a path that feels like yours.
You're ready for more — a new direction, a deeper purpose, a path that feels right. Lead by Design helps you align with your design, clarify where you're going, and trust your inner guidance to lead the way. Your next adventure is waiting.
Find Clarity in Who You Are
See your true leadership style and understand why you've been fighting your own design. Through Human Design, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your strengths, energy patterns, and decision-making. Instead of resisting where you are, you'll learn to work with it — aligning with your natural flow so you can move forward with energy and confidence.
Define Where You Want to Go
Set your course toward a future that excites you. Now that you understand how you’re designed, it’s time to set your direction towards your North Star. You’ll gather the right tools to bring your vision to life while exploring the World Design – understanding how external forces can support or slow your progress.
Take Action with Expert Guidance
Knowing what you want is one thing — becoming the person who gets it is another. In this final phase, you'll take real steps toward your goal. You'll learn to navigate obstacles, shift limiting beliefs, and embody the leader who moves through life with ease and fulfillment.
This isn’t just another leadership program. It’s a transformation—guided by who you were designed to be.

What You’ll Get
Here's how the journey unfolds — ten modules designed to build on each other, taking you from self-discovery to confident action. Each one brings you closer to leading from a place that's truly yours.
Module 01: Personal Human Design Session
Your journey begins with a 75-minute private session with Kristin, where you'll uncover your unique strengths, decision-making style, and communication patterns. This personalized session will help you define your purpose for the course and give you practical strategies to navigate life and leadership with greater ease.
Module 02: Orienting Yourself To The Journey
Think of this as the overture to your adventure—an overview of the full course that sets the tone for what's ahead. Engaging with the group will deepen your insights into why you're here. You'll also begin working with the Human Design Essential Oils from your welcome kit—powerful allies that work on a subconscious level to gently align you with your design.
Module 03: Aligning With Your Human Design
Get clear on your Type, Strategy, and Authority-the foundation of how you are designed to move through life. You'll also explore how different designs interact, helping you improve communication and collaboration with others. Finally, you'll put this knowledge into action by practicing decision-making strategies that align with your unique design.
Module 04: The World Design
The world isn't just a backdrop—it's an active force influencing every step of your journey. It can either clear your path or make every move feel like an uphill climb. In this module, you'll uncover its hidden role in your life and learn how to align with the World Design so it propels you forward instead of holding you back.
Module 05: Claim Your Goal
Before you can reach a goal, you have to uncover the right one. This module helps you clarify what you truly desire and recognize the unseen forces that try to pull you back into old patterns. Why do self-sabotaging habits resurface? How can you step into new territory without bringing old baggage? You'll get the answers—and the tools to stay on track.
Module 06: Learning The Rules Of The Road
Every journey has obstacles—but they don't have to slow you down. Here, you'll learn to spot common pitfalls before they happen and discover powerful strategies to get back on track quickly. This module also introduces advanced techniques for moving toward your goal with greater efficiency and ease.
Module 07: From Insight to Action
Now that you have the foundation, it's time to put it to work. You'll deepen your visualization practice, sharpen your attention, and learn to stay present — even when old patterns try to pull you back. This module bridges the gap between understanding your design and living it.
Module 08: Releasing Limitations By Working With Your Openness And Definition
Your open Centers are where external influences and conditioning more easily take root. This module teaches you how to identify and release limiting beliefs that aren't truly yours. By working with your design, you'll break free from self-sabotage and step into greater clarity, confidence, and personal power.
Module 09: Claiming Your Sovereignty As A Leader & The Journey Forward
True leadership starts with mastering your reality. Here, you'll learn about the two main levers that shape your experience and how to use them to your advantage. You'll also write a new story for yourself, rooted in the themes of your Human Design chart-creating a powerful, personal roadmap for your continued growth.
Module 10: Your Second Personal Human Design Session
In this one-on-one session with Kristin, you'll integrate everything you've learned into a personal action plan. Together, you'll create a roadmap for continuing your journey with clarity, confidence, and connection to your true design.
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 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 way of leading, the style that feels authentic, powerful, and true to who you are. If any of this resonates, you're not alone.
Imposter Syndrome Despite Success
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.
