How Authority Supports Strategy
05/23/22 • 6 min
“Authority never overrides strategy, but it helps students be more in alignment with their energetic needs.”
Today, Ellen answers the question,
“How does authority support strategy?” Just as with Quantum Human Design strategy and emotional themes, every person has their own, unique authority. Authority varies between energy types and is based on one’s personal Human Design chart. By knowing your students’ authority, you can really help them tune into the signals that are coming from their bodies. When used in conjunction with an understanding of your students’ type, strategy, and emotional theme, authority will really help you develop a picture of your students’ energetic needs. Make sure to check out the next episode where Ellen will be explaining profiles before she brings everything together in episode 8 of her 8-part miniseries and explains How to Teach Students by Design!
The mission with the Teaching Students by Design program is to guide educators to transform how students are educated, and help all parties reach their fullest potential, knowing that when each of us is being our unique and authentic self, the world is a more sustainable, compassionate, peaceful, and loving place.

Emotional Theme
“One of the biggest shifts for me was to realize that I feel my emotional theme, but I'm not the emotion, I'm not my emotions. I feel my emotions.”
Today, Ellen answers the question,
What is emotional theme in Quantum Human Design and how does it help you know when your students are not getting their energy needs met?
We've talked in the last couple of sessions about each of the five types in Quantum Human Design, how energy works for each type, and what their specific strategy is to navigate and operate through the world.
Each type also has a specific emotional theme. This emotional theme can be used as a signal to see when something isn't quite right for your students. These emotional themes are helpful in seeing why strategy is so important. If your students are experiencing a lot of these emotions, it's a sign that they're not getting their energy needs met and it’s time to focus on their strategy.
How do you help your students find ways to get their energy needs met? Keep listening to find out!

Profiles
“Profile gives us clues for understanding our students’ learning styles. By understanding profiles, you can really see how your students express their unique and wonderful personalities.”
Today, Ellen answers the question,
“How does knowing the Quantum Human Design profile of your students help you understand how they interact with others?” The Teaching Students by Design program helps educators move out of the paradigm of an education system that doesn’t always work and has a one-size-fits-all approach for its students. In episode 3 of this season, we discussed an overview of energy types in Quantum Human Design, which helps educators move away from the one-size-fits-all approach to seeing their students in 5 different energetic areas. From there, we’ve seen ways to understand your students even more uniquely by discussing strategy, emotional theme, and authority. Today, Ellen discusses profiles, the final Quantum Human Design concept for this season. By using all these tools together, we can continue to see our students as unique and amazing individuals along with understanding them as they truly are.
Make sure to subscribe and follow this show so you don’t miss next week’s episode when Ellen brings together all the concepts of Teaching Students by Design we’ve discussed so far and explains the next steps for how you can bring this incredible program into your classroom.
