“I truly wish I had read this book years ago. My mantra has always been ‘value the differences’ and Kristin makes it possible to see how to do that using the powerful tools of Human Design. Leaders do well to listen but intuition without a framework makes it unnecessarily hard. Using real world examples, Kristin walks us through team meetings, work product production and career planning using the invaluable framework of Human Design. The incredible stress and frustration I felt over thirty years of corporate management could have been so different had I had the tools she shares in this gem of a book. The ‘aha’ moments I had while reading it were many and I will go back to it again and again. I’m thrilled to see it be available to us all.”

“Kristin Panek’s book, Lead by Design is a game changer on how to attune to your true nature and allow it to emerge organically into thriving leadership. The wonderful thing about her book is that it provided a pathway for me to come home to myself as a leader in my own style and my own flavor. What’s so significant about it is that I always thought I had to change myself to be successful. Imagine my delight in discovering that by using my Type, Strategy, and Authority, I have all the necessary attributes to allow my unique style of leadership to emerge! Kristin’s guidance with Human Design, leadership, and spirituality is a conductive force which elicits depth, cohesion, and excitement in the journey of discovering one’s path as a leader.”

“Kristin Panek introduces Human Design into leadership in such a way that it induces a burst of inspiration, clarity, and imagination. Throughout reading this gift of a book, I found myself learning new ways of understanding my own design, and the way I want to show up for not only those around me and in my career, but also for myself – something that can all too often get neglected as a leader. Kristin has such an innovative way of making the ‘intangible’ tangible and she does it in a way that will leave you feeling a little lighter and a little better than before you had opened this book.”

“Kristin Panek brings a wise and profound depth of knowledge to the way she embraces and teaches the complexities of Human Design. She is a natural leader who sees your design as your own unique path to greatness. I had the pleasure of Kristin’s guidance as I worked my way through Robin Winn’s Foundations of Human Design Certification course. Kristin has a gift that exemplifies the qualities of true leadership, with the ability to allow her light to shine, as well as becoming a beacon for others to find their gifts through Human Design.”

""Nature takes the most efficient route,” Kristin Panet writes in 1 of her meditations and so does Kristin in her book Lead by Design. Like a super guide she leads you through, for her familiar territory, Authentic Leadership and Human Design. This super powerful combination invites you to discover your own design from which to lead. Leading yourself, leading others.Highly recommended. I will definitely use the meditations in the book again for myself and my coach clients."
