Transcript
- 0:11Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
- 0:17Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:21Nicole Laino: Hello, and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design.
- 0:24Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:27Nicole Laino: And I was actually something that inspired me for this episode.
- 0:31Nicole Laino: I wanted to talk about being an expanded leader, what that really means to lead in this era.
- 0:38Nicole Laino: And I was reading a really cool article on the changes the spiritual coaching space is going through on Substack.
- 0:48Nicole Laino: And in it, the creator said, I'm going to read you a little piece of it, because that was sort of thinking about and kind of contemplating what I wanted this episode to be and sort of the way that I work.
- 0:58Nicole Laino: And this is what I think that we're moving toward as well, is this more fluid state of working where it isn't all just sitting there thinking about something until it's done and making yourself do it.
- 1:08Nicole Laino: It's where we want to get to is this flow state where it's like, oh, yeah.
- 1:11Nicole Laino: I'm like, okay, well, I think I want to do something around this.
- 1:14Nicole Laino: And then I went and did something else.
- 1:16Nicole Laino: And I used my design to kind of like to interact with different things and to be in response to different things and to take in different information and see what comes out of it.
- 1:27Nicole Laino: And that's how it gets to be easy.
- 1:28Nicole Laino: That's how we get to do all the same things and check them off of our to do list, but have it feel very different.
- 1:34Nicole Laino: That's what, you know, the living by your design and working by your design is really all about.
- 1:39Nicole Laino: So all that to say that I read this substack article and I'm going to read you a little piece from it because I think it's a nice way to kick this off, because I think that the creator shared something.
- 1:49Nicole Laino: I think she kicked it off with a really great question.
- 1:52Nicole Laino: So she said, at a certain point, the market, meaning the market of spiritual entrepreneurship and coaching becomes so saturated with similar messages that something deeper begins to surface.
- 2:05Nicole Laino: And it's a good thing.
- 2:06Nicole Laino: People start asking a new question, not how do I grow my coaching business, but what is the deeper work I'm actually here to do?
- 2:16Nicole Laino: The reason I wanted to read that, the reason that stood out to me is because this is the era that I believe that we are moving into.
- 2:23Nicole Laino: And I think that human design can Reveal what your deeper work is if you get out of the damn way, if you stop trying to make it into something else.
- 2:33Nicole Laino: And that I think is.
- 2:36Nicole Laino: That's the big headline.
- 2:38Nicole Laino: What's the deeper work I'm actually here to do?
- 2:42Nicole Laino: Now, we all start somewhere.
- 2:44Nicole Laino: So I kind of want to talk about, like, there's a shift that is happening in how leadership works.
- 2:50Nicole Laino: That's what the point of this is.
- 2:52Nicole Laino: The expanded leader is somebody who is here that is unabashedly and without shame putting their deeper work out there and really connecting with it and putting out the work that has resonance with their soul.
- 3:09Nicole Laino: And it will have resonance with the souls of the people that they are meant to connect with, the fractal family, the people they are here to serve, the ones that we are always trying to intellectualize who they are, what they need and how we can communicate with them.
- 3:24Nicole Laino: I'm going to go off on a little bit of a tangent here, but if you think about how the 2027 change that is coming, ultimately, what that is about.
- 3:33Nicole Laino: Now you can talk about all the different themes, theme of the cross of planning ending on February 13th of 2027.
- 3:40Nicole Laino: And then we will enter into the cross of the Sleeping Phoenix.
- 3:43Nicole Laino: Cross of planning being very linear, very structured, very much about tribal connections, growth at all costs.
- 3:52Nicole Laino: Right?
- 3:52Nicole Laino: Very much a tribal environment, very much about growth and material change.
- 3:58Nicole Laino: Right?
- 3:59Nicole Laino: Material growth.
- 4:00Nicole Laino: And now where we're going crossed up to the Sleeping Phoenix is a very individualistic cross with themes of personal empowerment, sharing and being exactly who you are.
- 4:14Nicole Laino: Depth and intimacy as actual strategies for living your life, not as just nice things to have or not to have, to be good at or not to be good at.
- 4:26Nicole Laino: To recognizing that abundance is something that is an emotional state and not a material state.
- 4:34Nicole Laino: These are themes that we're moving into.
- 4:36Nicole Laino: You can take that a step further and you can say there's supposedly.
- 4:40Nicole Laino: Again, I say supposedly because we don't know.
- 4:42Nicole Laino: And I can't scientifically prove it.
- 4:44Nicole Laino: And if I can't scientifically prove it, I will always put the asterisk there and say this is what theory says.
- 4:49Nicole Laino: But only time will tell.
- 4:51Nicole Laino: The theory says that we are moving toward a more advanced type of being that humans as we are now, that this 9 centered being that we are will evolve into what they call the rave.
- 5:07Nicole Laino: And the raves are on a different level of consciousness.
- 5:09Nicole Laino: They are more connected through consciousness and through emotions.
- 5:13Nicole Laino: The emotional system, the solar plexus, becomes an awareness center where they will be able to this new level of Human that is coming, they won't be humans, they'll be different.
- 5:23Nicole Laino: But this new type of person that is emerging is going to be connected.
- 5:28Nicole Laino: They'll be connected to each other on this emotional consciousness level.
- 5:32Nicole Laino: Whereas we are on a material level, we are on a physical level.
- 5:37Nicole Laino: So as we move to all of these things, doesn't it make sense that with where life is going, that connecting with the deeper work that we are getting deeper as people, not more shallow that we are starting to look, people are starting to look for deeper connection, that maybe all of the crumbling and all the world's on fire stuff that we are all enduring right now has a purpose.
- 6:04Nicole Laino: And that purpose is for us to see how wrong we've been and where we need to be more inclusive, more accepting, more loving, more open, less hierarchical.
- 6:18Nicole Laino: All of those themes that we're starting to see the cracks of.
- 6:22Nicole Laino: And as we have this evolution of technology and all these things, are we now being asked to connect with each other on a more human level, on a deeper level?
- 6:32Nicole Laino: So if this is where humanity is going, doesn't it make sense that leadership and what you come to offer, that if you are still dealing in the same shallow, hooky, shallow type of content and the shallow type of messaging and you're talking about the same things that everybody else talks about, you are either going to deepen and connect with people on a deeper level and connect with yourself on a deeper level, or you're probably going to be pushed out.
- 6:59Nicole Laino: So the people that we've seen kind of exit the market or try to shift things.
- 7:04Nicole Laino: We're already seeing people who have very strategic businesses suddenly start to adopt and implement and start to teach or at least proselytize the need for nervous system regulation, for expansion in your nervous system for being able to hold what you want to call in deeper conversation, right?
- 7:24Nicole Laino: The shallow is no longer selling.
- 7:26Nicole Laino: The shallow is no longer connecting with people because people are getting deeper.
- 7:31Nicole Laino: They are looking for something deeper.
- 7:34Nicole Laino: For a long time, leadership online was just about visibility.
- 7:38Nicole Laino: Be seen, be consistent, be everywhere, stay top of mind.
- 7:42Nicole Laino: And for a while that really worked, but now it is not.
- 7:47Nicole Laino: We're seeing that slow down.
- 7:49Nicole Laino: That is not becoming the way that people are growing now.
- 7:53Nicole Laino: And those people who grew that way, that's not working for them the way that it used to.
- 7:57Nicole Laino: There are a lot of people who are visible and a lot of people who are trusted, but it's not the same people.
- 8:03Nicole Laino: The people who are just super visible people are finding that's not necessarily the person That I can trust with my business, I can trust with my heart.
- 8:12Nicole Laino: They're looking for something deeper.
- 8:15Nicole Laino: This is where human design comes in.
- 8:17Nicole Laino: So this is the business that I have been trying to.
- 8:20Nicole Laino: I think maybe I've been growing into the way that I can talk about this.
- 8:23Nicole Laino: But also I have been trying to communicate with people and get them past that shallow stage of human design and get them to the deeper level.
- 8:30Nicole Laino: Because is about your mission.
- 8:32Nicole Laino: You have a mission in life, you have a mission on this earth and your understanding of that mission.
- 8:38Nicole Laino: On day one, you'll read your human design, you'll intellectualize it, you'll start to get it a little bit.
- 8:45Nicole Laino: But I guarantee you it'll be very different a few years from then.
- 8:48Nicole Laino: And maybe you're already a few years into your journey, so maybe you're already starting to deepen it.
- 8:52Nicole Laino: So now I ask you, are you putting that depth out?
- 8:56Nicole Laino: Are you making the depth your message?
- 8:59Nicole Laino: Is that what you're leading with is that are you able to do it?
- 9:04Nicole Laino: Because we're not all able to right away.
- 9:06Nicole Laino: We're not all able to lead with our depth right away.
- 9:10Nicole Laino: Some of us have some deconditioning to do to be able to share it.
- 9:13Nicole Laino: In the last episode that I released, I talked about the authority platforms and how they give you space to work a message that's deep.
- 9:20Nicole Laino: But now I'm talking about you actually being the person who can put a message like that out there.
- 9:25Nicole Laino: And that takes some self discovery to figure out what makes you different.
- 9:29Nicole Laino: And again, I don't like that.
- 9:30Nicole Laino: I just use the term figure it out.
- 9:32Nicole Laino: Because it's not about figuring yourself out.
- 9:34Nicole Laino: It's about embodying what makes you different.
- 9:36Nicole Laino: It's about embodying this deeper message that you have in you.
- 9:40Nicole Laino: It's about embodying this deeper purpose that you have in you to the best of your ability.
- 9:47Nicole Laino: At this moment, that's all we can do.
- 9:49Nicole Laino: I have no doubt that five years from now, when I am still living my design, that I will be at a level with my purpose and what I'm doing and what I am sharing and how I am sharing it.
- 10:01Nicole Laino: That is very different than it is today.
- 10:03Nicole Laino: I don't know what that'll look like.
- 10:04Nicole Laino: I don't know what that will be.
- 10:06Nicole Laino: I surrender to whatever that is.
- 10:08Nicole Laino: I surrender to the process and I'm committed and devoted to the journey of discovering myself on this little path.
- 10:19Nicole Laino: But I also want to make money.
- 10:20Nicole Laino: I also want to feed my family on the way there.
- 10:23Nicole Laino: So I have strategies that I Use.
- 10:25Nicole Laino: I do put my message out there.
- 10:27Nicole Laino: I do create episodes like this.
- 10:29Nicole Laino: We are growing on substack and starting a new platform over there.
- 10:33Nicole Laino: We are still like expanding on YouTube and expanding our audience over there.
- 10:38Nicole Laino: I still do things to get results because quite we need to eat.
- 10:43Nicole Laino: But I am also doing so with depth.
- 10:47Nicole Laino: I am doing so as the best version of myself that I'm capable of being today.
- 10:53Nicole Laino: That's always my highest intention.
- 10:56Nicole Laino: That is always the number one thing on my priority list is am I leading from the highest place that I can reach within myself right now?
- 11:07Nicole Laino: Am I as aligned as I possibly can be?
- 11:09Nicole Laino: And if I'm not, I am so in tune with myself that I can see misalignment and I learn from it and that becomes something that I can help other people with.
- 11:20Nicole Laino: It isn't about necessarily intellectualizing the deeper work that you are here to share.
- 11:24Nicole Laino: It's about embodying it and seeing what comes out of you.
- 11:28Nicole Laino: If you are a projector, embodying the depth that you are here to share, embodying the depth of work, the purpose that you are here on this earth to fulfill, that wisdom will come out if you allow it.
- 11:44Nicole Laino: People will recognize that depth and that purpose in you.
- 11:48Nicole Laino: They will recognize you for your wisdom in this area.
- 11:53Nicole Laino: But you do have to show people.
- 11:55Nicole Laino: So there's always that peace.
- 11:57Nicole Laino: But this new level of leadership, I hope that this is making you very excited.
- 12:03Nicole Laino: If you are somebody with depth, if you are somebody who leads with heart and soul and purpose, this is our time.
- 12:11Nicole Laino: I am so sure of that.
- 12:13Nicole Laino: Because here's the cool thing.
- 12:15Nicole Laino: Because of all the things that people have been through, because they have been burned before and because the cool kids club has let them down.
- 12:23Nicole Laino: Because they are done trying to be accepted and they want.
- 12:26Nicole Laino: They are looking for something else because the world is kind of falling apart and.
- 12:31Nicole Laino: And people are scared.
- 12:33Nicole Laino: They are looking for different things than they were looking for a few years ago.
- 12:37Nicole Laino: They are looking for depth.
- 12:38Nicole Laino: They are looking for clarity.
- 12:40Nicole Laino: They are looking for somebody who actually sees what they're going through and can lead them through it.
- 12:46Nicole Laino: That's what they're looking for, whether they know it or not.
- 12:48Nicole Laino: Some of them may not even know that they are looking for what you offer until they see it or hear it.
- 12:57Nicole Laino: So that's the responsibility that's on you.
- 12:59Nicole Laino: Are you allowing yourself to be seen and be heard in all your glory, in the messiness that's here?
- 13:06Nicole Laino: But truth, people are feeling into their investments now.
- 13:09Nicole Laino: People are.
- 13:10Nicole Laino: I am having more and more people come to me and say, I just feel like I need this now.
- 13:16Nicole Laino: I don't know why.
- 13:16Nicole Laino: I just feel drawn to do this work.
- 13:19Nicole Laino: I feel drawn to do this work with you now.
- 13:22Nicole Laino: That's happening.
- 13:23Nicole Laino: One, because I think energetically people are moving into this place.
- 13:26Nicole Laino: And I want to also say that these are a lot of people who are not woo.
- 13:29Nicole Laino: Who are coming to me with that now.
- 13:31Nicole Laino: People I never thought, and I don't know a lot of them, but just the type of person I never thought would be knocking on my door saying, I think I need to work with you.
- 13:41Nicole Laino: I am seeing it in my own life that suddenly people who I never thought would be interested in what I do are asking me questions about what I do.
- 13:48Nicole Laino: Didn't see it coming.
- 13:49Nicole Laino: Why?
- 13:49Nicole Laino: Because people are.
- 13:51Nicole Laino: They don't feel good, they don't feel in control, they don't feel comfortable, they're very deeply uncomfortable, they're very scared and they are trying to find firm ground and they're having a hard time.
- 14:05Nicole Laino: And there's something in them that's telling them that they have to shore themselves up from the inside out, that they might have to look in different places, that maybe just time management software and a new app isn't going to take care of the problems that they have.
- 14:19Nicole Laino: That they may have to actually look at themselves, that they may have to actually go into their energy.
- 14:25Nicole Laino: They might need to discover something about themselves that they either took for granted or totally didn't believe was there or were completely oblivious to it.
- 14:33Nicole Laino: The shifts in the world are changing what people need.
- 14:37Nicole Laino: They are changing what people are looking for.
- 14:39Nicole Laino: They are feeling into things where they are just accepting the fact that they know something to be true without necessarily all the facts needing to be there.
- 14:49Nicole Laino: Right.
- 14:49Nicole Laino: People are riding on feeling a lot now.
- 14:51Nicole Laino: That leaves them open for people to take advantage of their feelings and the state that they're in.
- 14:58Nicole Laino: We see a lot of that politically, I think we see a lot of that too.
- 15:02Nicole Laino: But then also there's an opening for people with heart, soul and mission.
- 15:09Nicole Laino: When you lead with that mission and you put it out there and you just say, this is what I do, this is what I see.
- 15:13Nicole Laino: This is the deep work that I'm here for.
- 15:15Nicole Laino: And then you let it go and you just say, and I trust that the right people are going to find me.
- 15:19Nicole Laino: They do.
- 15:20Nicole Laino: You just need to put it up there.
- 15:21Nicole Laino: You just need to give them a way to find you.
- 15:23Nicole Laino: And if you didn't join us for the expanded leader masterclass, you can still get in on that.

- 16:11Nicole Laino: If you're already convinced that you want to go deeper, but your time is now.
- 16:16Nicole Laino: That's the most exciting thing, I think, is that for everybody who felt like a wallflower, who.
- 16:21Nicole Laino: For everybody who felt like everybody who had a strategic message that was like super tactical and super results driven like that you either had to be like them and abandon who you really are and what the work that you really felt was right for you and the way that you speak or that it just wasn't gonna work for you, then this is great news because the tables are turning.
- 16:41Nicole Laino: Those people, there's still a place for them.
- 16:43Nicole Laino: People will still want results, but there is a greater place and it's only growing for people like you.
- 16:49Nicole Laino: So this is a very exciting time.
- 16:50Nicole Laino: So if you aren't currently sharing your thought leadership, please do.
- 16:53Nicole Laino: If you are currently running an authority platform that you own that has your thought leadership on it, where people can connect with you, what you think, how you work, the perspective that you have, your mission, that deeper mission that you have, if you aren't currently putting that someplace where people can interact with it en masse, not one post, not some little dribbly thing, but something where they can go deep and they can binge with you, then I encourage you to do that right away.
- 17:22Nicole Laino: The best time to start was yesterday.
