Who is behind HumanKind by Design?
My name is Christie Reed, and I'm the founder of HumanKind by Design. I'm an educator and facilitator in the domain of human empowerment and relationships.
I've worked with all ages. I began my career working with children 9-14 years old at an educational non-profit and spent 15 years working in the hospitality/restaurant industry.
I've been involved in the creation and evolution of several organizations – beginning my career as a program director at a start-up educational non-profit, then becoming a key leader in the creation and fulfillment of a 6,000+ sized company's charter and vision and also starting and directing a non-profit designed to provide financial and resource support to employees.
I've designed and facilitated leadership development for children and restaurant operators and provided one-on-one coaching to company leaders.
I have 25 years of coaching and facilitation training from an industry-leading world-wide personal and professional growth and development organization and am a Gallup Strengths certified coach.
Ultimately, I'm a human being who has discovered time and time again that harnessing how being human works is my (and our) superpower.
What is HumanKind by Design all about?
Being Human
I'm a daughter, sister, friend, college graduate, business owner.
I've worked with toddlers, teens, adults, parents, teachers, and executive level leaders.
I've worked for non-profits and for-profits, been a nanny, yoga studio manager, program director, and executive level leader.
Through it all, there's one thing that I've discovered is the same no matter where I've found myself:
People want to be effective, successful, heard, seen and loved...
...and pretty much have no idea what it is to
BE HUMAN
Get your hands on the steering wheel
Imagine getting a car, but having no idea how a car is designed to work? Do you think you'd be able to get very far? Do you think you might find yourself frustrated, annoyed, resigned, cynical and wondering why no matter what you do, it never quite seems to work? Maybe you'd be smart enough to figure out a few things, and enjoy a few moments, but do you think you'd be able to fully use, realize, and enjoy all the possibilities that car could offer you?
Consider being human is a lot like that. We're designed a certain way and have unique capacities, but when was the last time you asked yourself, “I’m a human being, I wonder how that works?”
