Human Design Solutions

Early on, I relied on my left brain way too much. I didn't know myself, and I let conditioning, fear, and over-sensitivity rule my life.

This led to choosing a wrong degree, starting in a wrong career, and being who I wasn't for many years.

I kept showing up in a certain way, and then blamed others for not really seeing me!
I kept feeling frustrated and angry, and didn't know why.

Gradually, I came to see that expression, creativity, empathy, inspiration, and intuition are all a big part of me, too.

I've embraced my left and right brain strengths, and worked through much of the pain, struggles, and resistance I had built up over the years.

Now, I bring everything I've learned to help others bring out their full potential and the parts of themselves they have ignored for too long.

Working with me, you'll get:
- My experience from working in different roles in four different countries
- My mindful, empathic, and intuitive attention to what's going on for you and what you need
- My analytical skills interpreting your BG5 Unique Design Blueprint (Human Design for business)

Originally from the UK, I worked in accounting before heading abroad at 26. I spent a year in Australia and then taught Business English in Japan, where I also wrote test items for their national English test company.

I moved to Canada in 2009 to live at a meditation center. Now I support the center virtually and run local classes here in Calgary. You're welcome to join the online meditation circle I co-founded in 2020 for people who want a regular meditation practice.

By living and working in mindful communities for 15 years, I've learned so much about myself and others, how teams interact, and how the shadow can wreak havoc. Human Design and BG5 came to me from a chance encounter when I challenged myself to meet a group of new people - the kind of thing I'm designed to do. It's given me a framework that brings all my skills together to help others.

Get in touch to see if we're a fit.

"Hey! Where's the operating manual for this bag of skin and flesh I inherited?" 🤣.

Have you ever thought, 
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why do I keep doing this to myself?"

Worse still, has part of you given up? 

Well, I'm here to tell you:
There's nothing wrong with you, and you're not broken.

🙄 Take a moment, and reread that if you need to hear it again.

You never know where the next insight, shift, or that thing you needed to hear will come.

It's a big world, ripe with insights and different perspectives, so long as we're open to them 🤯.

If any of this resonates, you may be in the right place. 



As a mindful BG5 consultant, I can offer you a view of things you've likely not experienced before.

*** In even 3 sessions, you'll almost certainly get a-ha! moments. You'll have practical insights and experience validation and healing around situations or people that may have nagged at you for years.
You'll have a strategy you can experiment with at work and at home, that will open up new ways to make decisions and interact with people and even groups of people.

****** If we go deeper, we can shed light on the places where you likely get distracted, defensive, or uncommunicative. Where you create resistance.  ✅ All important things for a leader to know.
We can analyze the dynamics with a partner and even a team of people to improve communication and productivity.


Awareness of BG5 is growing. Since 2022, the Institute's courses are now accredited with IACET for Continuing Education Units (see my Linktree), and Human Resource Professionals are joining.

ENLEXIS - Behavioural Consultancy, working with clients worldwide

Expert advice with specific focus on how to influence decisions and choices and to drive behaviour in customers, employees, citizens, users or patients. In other words, how to make people take a specific action easily, by creating a tailored environment that makes the desired action happen now. 

HOW WE HELP:

By mending the gaps in the way, using Science, so the other party doesn't drop out and takes the action you want. You’ll stop loosing time and money trying to convince someone who may have already left, not because they wanted to, but because you make it difficult for them without your knowing. 


📍LASER-FOCUS BEHAVIOURAL STRATEGY SESSIONS - Use the winning sequence

Let’s discard what you don’t need that blocks your persuasion efforts and delays results. I'll take off 80% of your current effort and actions, only to focus on the few essential things that, according to scientific findings, enable desired behaviour to happen.
You’ll have a PLAN: You'll know what to do to unblock influence, why, and in what order. You'll be able to check instantly whether your actions are able to convince and how to replace the ineffective ones by others that work for your specific issue. 

📍BEHAVIOURAL AUDITS – Know the hidden enemy 

I'll assess your current way of doing to influence, step by step, to uncover the hidden obstacles that make your customers, users, employees or patients drop out while you believe they are still onboard. I'll tell you at WHAT exact points, in your process, persuasion is close to zero and WHY, using neuroscience findings. This is rarely what you think it is and you'll know why and what to do about it. I'll remove the frustration of not getting results and wondering why, despite the quality of your product or service.

I'll make your process danger-proof by using science-backed techniques that take care of the obstacles (biases) in the way.  The path to “YES” will be seamless – and behaviourally effective.

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE CONSULTANT

BEHAVIOURAL SCIENTIST🔸 I'll inject a dose of Science and Psychology in your process that'll maximise the reach of your product or service. You'll get to Yes faster with methods that are designed to do exactly that.

I INJECT A DOSE OF SCIENCE IN WHAT YOU DO, TO MAKE IT WORK FASTER. 

WHO I HELP:

Entrepreneurs and teams who find it difficult to make a specific action happen, that is crucial to move their project forward.

If you’ve used various methods to convince a customer, a user, or a patient to take a specific action you have in mind, and results are not what you want them to be, please get in touch.

HOW I HELP:

Not by improving your product or service
Not by reviewing your rational arguments
Not by analysing opinions about your product

Instead,

I insert science-backed tweaks into what you are already doing, to make action taking easier.
I rely on scientific findings on how the brain works when we make decisions, we choose between options or we take action. You'll know how to overcome resistance with science-backed techniques, when you want someone, or a group of people, to do something specific so you can move forward faster.

At the crossroads of Neuroscience, Cognitive and Social Psychology and Behavioural Science, I zero in on what’s scientifically proven, yet hidden and therefore frequently neglected and more dangerous than we think: the unconscious rules of thumb we all use that drive 95% of our decisions and actions.

I’m confident you take good care of the visible 5% : it's your project, within your expertise. For the invisible 95% remaining, I’ll help you see through with science-backed, cost-effective, easy to apply techniques so you can convince faster (I make them easy to apply for my clients, even if they don’t know anything about Behavioural Science or how the brain works.)

I have helped a number of profit and non-profit organisations solve complex issues related to perceptions and to conditions for shaping behaviour. I make them “see” what the other party “sees” that prevents them from taking action. I’ve had a hand in projects dealing with customers’ behaviour, citizen’s behaviour, employees's behaviour, users’ behaviour, online behaviour and gender-related behaviour to name a few.

DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM TAKE THE ACTION YOU WANT BUT UNSURE OF HOW TO DO IT? 
I'LL GIVE YOU A PLAN 🗝

THIS MISTAKE 
DECREASES YOUR CHANCES TO GET A YES
NO MATTER YOUR OFFER’S HIGH QUALITY AND PRICE.


You want you client to engage promptly, regularly,(preferably now), with what you created.

And you are right, of course.


📍Buying that course you created that got you only 4 buyers in the last 5 months, despite the fact that you were aiming at “recurrent” customers
📍Registering for your paying workshop you put 3.5 months to polish, even if you didn’t have the time to get/serve new clients while polishing it
📍Engaging regularly on this new platform you created for multiple actors, even if up to now engagement is 67% down from what you expected as a minimum
📍Paying for your high ticket offer without endless price negotiations, especially with those who can afford you but they need months to be convinced.
 📍Etc.


The list goes on.

Did you notice all the above are BEHAVIOURS you want them to do?


🔻You focus on how to polish further your offering so it seems, sounds, is brilliant.
🔻You focus on all they have to gain, and some more, thanks to your smart services.
🔻You focus on increasing attractiveness through number of features.
🔻You already included all the latest shiny objects, FOMO being your permanent associate.



STOP.

Research has shown, to maximise the number of YESes you get, your focus needs to be FIRST, NOT on what you want them to DO,

…BUT on what THEY ARE DOING NOW (= the behaviour you don’t want and you wish to change: they don’t buy, the don’t register, they don’t engage…)


Because:

🔥Current behaviour can PREDICT the obstacles you’ll encounter when you try to make them take the action you desire.

If you are focusing on:

…what you want them to do “from now on”, later today, tomorrow, this month, as soon as possible…

…it means they do, right now, SOMETHING ELSE. Something you don’t want. And that’s where your focus needs to be.


❌ Don’t focus on how to make your offering better, in a vacuum.

✅ It’s their “now” (=current behaviour) that delays the result you want.

➡️ It’s their “now” that will uncover the exact points you need to pay attention to, to get a Yes faster.



How much do you know about their “now”, the real reasons they don’t do what you want right now, despite the perfect match between their needs and your offering?

How much do you know about WHAT and HOW to change it, with methods that actually work?


Not immediately obvious, right? Because you have tried more than a couple of things already.


☀️ Here’s where I help.
Tiny, smart changes, in strategically chosen points of your offering will change client behaviour beyond belief. Because they are backed by testing and science. Nothing else.

Two ways, in the comments, to work with me to make your offering trigger more Yeses than it triggers for some time now.
Let’s go!

BEHAVIOURAL SCIENTIST🔸 I’ll inject a dose of Customer Psychology in your current service or product, that is known to maximise reach and impact. You’ll get more Yeses, faster, with science-backed tactics that work.

THIS TRICKY THING 
YOUR CUSTOMER’S BRAIN DOES
CAN HELP YOU TRIGGER A YES FASTER.

When your customer’s brain finds itself in front of…

…Your product. Your service. Your request. Your process. Your platform. 


❌ It won’t take the necessary time to carefully weigh pro and cons.

❌ It won’t say Yes immediately and in awe and mean it (most of the times).

❌ It won’t focus on the tremendous value and the usefulness of your product, no matter how dearly you desire it and how passionately you present it.


Why is that?

➡️ Because its main role is NOT to see the good, the expert, the beautiful, the valuable, the effortless, the rewarding, the amazing and the efficient FIRST (= the positives of your product.)

Its role is, instead, to scan, FIRST, for *perceived* RISK and/or any kind of DIFFICULTY:


⚠️ Too much (perceived) effort
⚠️ Embarrassment
⚠️ Confusion
⚠️ Anxiety
⚠️ Difficulty to proceed
⚠️ Uneasiness
⚠️ Too much (perceived) time
…

It scans your offer to find whether the COST of it all, is TOO HIGH, for your customer, in their GIVEN CONTEXT. ANY kind of cost.

And what does it do when it finds, in your product, one or more of the above?

➡️ It tries to PROTECT your customer BY STOPPING them from making a decision - the very one you so dearly desire.


⬇️
 
Take a hard look at your existing offers:

🔻Do you know what exact points in them trigger one or more of the above? (“No point triggers anxiety” is the bad answer, but this is for another post.)

🔻Do you know upon what points you need to act IMMEDIATELY to get a Yes?

🔻Do you know upon what points you need to act STRATEGICALLY to get a Yes?

🔻Do you know what points need to remain the SAME to get a Yes?


I know. 
 But worry not.

There IS a (research-backed) way out. Not assumptions, not the same old, not the latest shiny object. Thankfully.

✅ This is exactly how I help. I’ll remove the obstacles, in your offer, that trigger customer anxiety and STOP your customer from making a DECISION about your product or service.

✅ Exclusively with science-backed methods. Nothing else.


✅ Two ways, in the comments, to get the techniques that fit your specific business issue the best, to PROTECT what you already have + to hear MORE YESES, now.

(Unless you already hear the number of Yeses you want.)
