Episode SummaryIn this episode of 'A Whole Lot of Shift', host Jen Ingram discusses the importance of recognizing who you are and who you are not in building a business. She criticizes the use of personality tests and theories like Myers Briggs, Enneagram, and Human Design in determining how to run businesses or live life. Instead, she advocates for individuals to stop living by someone else's standards and to live life on their terms, and in line with their true selves. Jen shares an anecdote about her guest appearance on another podcast where this topic came up, as well as her experience with a coach deeply into human design. She believes that recognizing individuality and authenticity are key in successful business growth, and dismisses the notion of one's life fitting into theoretical boxes.00:00 Introduction: You Are the Design01:47 The Journey of Self-Discovery02:58 The Power of Personal Development03:33 The Importance of Authenticity in Business10:03 The Pitfalls of Personality Tests18:07 The Power of Being Your Own Design25:27 The Dangers of Living a Filtered Life36:19 Conclusion: Embrace Your UniquenessAbout the Host: Jen is a Confidence Catalyst and Business Mentor saving hustling female solopreneurs from the chains of corporate America.
