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.

"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.

Does your website convert? When was the last time you gave it a refresh? How does it compare to your competitors?

Your company website is your brand on the Internet. An under-performing and outdated website will cost you revenues.

Most phone sales “burnout” isn’t burnout.

It’s compounding.

A rough call ends.
The rep logs it.
The dialer fires the next one in seconds.

➡️ Nothing clears what just happened.

By the third or fourth tough call in a row, tone tightens. Close attempts lose edge. Response speed slows just enough to matter.

Morning block looks strong.
Afternoon block drops.
Same script. Same leads. Same rep.

What changed?

Not energy.
Not motivation.
How fast they bounce back after a rough call.

If it takes 3-4 calls to get back to normal, the afternoon is gone.
If it takes 1, the day holds.

➡️ Training builds skill.
➡️ Coaching fixes patterns.
➡️ Dashboards show the drop.

But the real break point lives between calls, or more specifically after a rough one.

That’s where the afternoon is won or lost.

The gap is the 5-8 seconds after a rough call when the next dial starts and they're still carrying the last one. 

You don't need to make them better salespeople. You need to help them start the next call without dragging the last one into it.

➡️ 14-day, 25 rep contained pilot. 
➡️  Does afternoon output hold.

High-Volume Phone Teams See Afternoon Performance Drop | Between-Calls Reset Software Prevents It | No Training. No IT. No Workflow Changes.

If your sales reps make 60 to 100 calls a day, read this. ⬇️ 

If you run a phone sales team, you already know this.

Mornings feel steady.
By mid-afternoon, you are pulling reps aside, calming people down, resetting tone.

You are not coaching skill.
You are managing carryover.

You've already invested in training and coaching. That's not the gap.

The gap is the 5-8 seconds after a rough call when the next dial starts and they're still carrying the last one. 

You don't need to make them better salespeople. You need to help them start the next call without dragging the last one into it.

How much is a rough call costing your phone team?

Most leaders look at call volume, close rate, and revenue.

Almost nobody looks at what happens right after a rough call.

Over the past few months, we interviewed three dozen reps and agents working in high-call-volume environments.

We asked one simple question.

What actually happens after a bad call?

The answers were consistent.

“That last call threw me off.”
“I was still thinking about that one.”
“I’m not ready for the next call.”
“I need a reset before the next dial.”
"I don't need more coaching, I need to get out of my head."

That moment is short.

The cost compounds across the day.
One rough call can affect the next call.
Then the next one after that.

Across a team, the numbers add up fast.

So we built a simple Rough Call Carryover Calculator where leaders can plug in their own numbers and see the real impact across a team.
No assumptions.
Just your numbers.

If you lead a high-volume phone team and want the calculator, comment below, and I’ll send it.

What is rough call carryover.

Most leaders call it burnout.

Morning block looks sharp.
Afternoon block widens.
Same reps. Same leads. Same scripts.

What changed?

After a stretch of tough calls, hesitation between dials stretches.
Five seconds becomes eight.
Eight becomes twelve.
Across a team, that compounds fast.

That’s not exhaustion.
It’s rough calls accumulating.

Definition of Rough Call Recovery: The ability of a phone sales rep to return to normal pace and tone before the next dial after a rough call.

I wrote a breakdown on what it is and how to spot it in your numbers.

If you are a phone sales leader and you want to stop your afternoons from crashing, there is a way. And it's not in your current tech stack.
