Hello, and welcome to the course. My name is Colleen Griffin. I'm a life coach, a health coach and a Human Design Specialist. And I'll be your instructor today. Now, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of taking the intro to human design course on Udemy I'd like to make a long story short and tell you how human design found me. That's right Human Design found me while I was out there searching for other modalities, looking for my authentic self.

Human Design found me on one magical day In October of 2007, my friend Donna had asked me to help her create a PowerPoint presentation. She had already started saving images and data and had it saved on a folder on her desktop. When I opened up that folder, lo and behold, there was an image of a human design chart there. I was amazed that what I saw, I had to know more about it. So I asked Donna, please tell me what is this? Donna says it's a human design chart that a friend of mine made for me, I really don't know that much about it.

Well, I had to no more. And then Donna says, I don't know how it got in that folder. It must have gotten in there by mistake. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't happen to believe in mistakes. That slide was there waiting for me to discover it. The minute I saw that image of the human design chart, have to say it was love at first sight.

My relationship with human design is a lifelong love affair. Actually, my friends and family lovingly joke that when I saw that image of the human design chart that it was love at first bite, they actually say I was bitten by the Human Design bug. And I'm hoping that that same bug will bite you here today. And you will also have a lifelong love affair with human design. I've been living my life by design rather than by default since that magical day of 2007. When I first saw that human design chart, hopefully, you have a copy of your personalized human design chart readily available, because we will be referring to it shortly.

If you don't have a copy of your personalized human design chart readily available, then please just refer to my personalized chart, which was part of your class handouts on your personalized human design chart. On the lower left hand corner, you will see a section that says overview. Underneath that section you will see a line that says type. Please take a look at that line and identify your type. Please make note of what type is listed on that line.
