This week on episode 50 of the “Design and Align Your Business Podcast” I had an incredible conversation with Ilona Satya about her journey with human design, leadership, and tapping into feminine energy in business. Here are some highlights and takeaways!
Discovering Human Design: The 6/2 Projector Journey
Ilona spent 2023 diving into her role as a 6/2 Projector and discovered she has only two defined centers in her chart—her root and emotional centers. This insight helped her break free from conditioning and unlock her leadership potential. She’s even introduced these concepts to her corporate team, proving just how practical human design can be.
Overcoming Projector Challenges: Leaning Into Strengths
Projectors often struggle with low energy, but Ilona has turned this challenge into a strength by focusing on presence and efficiency. Leveraging these traits transformed her leadership style and effectiveness, reminding us to lean into what makes us unique.
Feminine Leadership: A New Kind of Power
Ilona’s “Rise to Lead” movement is all about reshaping leadership by embracing feminine energy and heart-centric leadership. She contrasts the traditional, masculine energy—which is very action-driven—with feminine energy that emphasizes being, expression, and nurturing. By leading from a state of abundance, Ilona believes women can bring balanced and diverse perspectives to leadership roles.
Personal Growth & Non-Judgment: Embracing Change
Ilona stresses the importance of personal growth and non-judgment, especially during transitional phases. She shared a poignant story about choosing family time over work commitments, underlining the importance of setting personal boundaries and prioritizing well-being.
Community Upliftment: The Heart of Rise to Lead
The third pillar of Ilona's "Rise to Lead" movement focuses on community and mutual support. Ilona envisions a leadership style where everyone radiates light and emphasizes collective potential over individual accolades. This approach encourages deeper, more meaningful connections and communal thriving.
Rise to Lead: Join Us for Transformative Connection
Don’t forget to save the date for November 9! Ilona is hosting "Rise to Lead," a half-day event in Atlanta. It's a fantastic opportunity for female leaders to reconnect with their feminine essence. The event will feature keynotes from notable figures, including a US Olympian, and focus on divine feminine energy and deep community connections.
Leading from the Heart: Embracing Your True Self
I resonate deeply with Ilona's emphasis on self-reflection and love. For projectors, this means waiting for the right invitations and acting from a heart-centered place. Regular self-connection and love should be a constant practice. Attending in-person events can accelerate your leadership journey and help you connect with like-minded individuals.
Ilona’s journey as a 6/2 Projector and her focus on feminine leadership offer valuable insights. Staying true to yourself can help you lead from a place of abundance and positively impact your community.
