Years ago, I did a deep dive into human design, and I found it fascinating.
In a lot of ways, it turned my world upside down.
As it happens, I’m a Splenic Projector with a 2/4 profile, and what I found was that my natural ability was never meant to be fully explainable. It only gets recognised through real relationships, not broadcast.
For an ex-marketing person, that was an uncomfortable realisation. I spent months and months trying to find the one perfect sentence that would finally explain what I do. I realised in a lot of ways it’s a losing game by design, because what I do is felt, not a technique. I’m not teaching you a method you'll use again and again on your own. It's closer to a doctor giving you aftercare instructions once something's actually been dealt with, keep it clean, stay off it for a few days.
What you actually need is different every time, and I won't know what it is until we're in it. It's usually quick. It's never something you'll be doing forever.
And yet, my adaptation had me fighting to prove this work. Reinforced every time someone asked me “What do you do, Maryanne?” ARGH! The frustration of nothing quite fitting.
I can’t tell you how long I have spent workshopping this. No matter how hard I tried, I realised I wasn’t going to out-articulate an instant, unrepeatable act of perception. So once I stopped chasing the perfect definitional sentence and let the real stories come to life, things have felt so much easier.
If you're multi-dimensional, if your work doesn't fit into a neat little category, here's your permission slip to rest. My advice is this... You don't need the perfect sentence. Carve out your own path with your stories!
