By Michael Brown, BG5 Coach, Teacher

Hello there! If you’re journeying through the fascinating world of BG5 coaching, you know it’s more than just a profession; it’s a calling to understand and guide others towards their true potential. At the heart of this journey is a concept that’s as profound as it is essential: embodiment.

The Essence of Embodiment in BG5 Coaching

Embodiment isn’t just about intellectual understanding; it’s about living our shared truths. Integrating our Career Design into our lives is essential to our growth. However, it can be difficult to embrace the different aspects of our Design, especially when we perceive them as limitations.

When I was younger, managing my melancholy seemed daunting. When it struck, it could knock me out for days.  Over time, I learned to see my emotional chemistry not as a personal flaw but as an integral part of my unique design. This shift in perspective was a game changer, both personally and professionally.

Connecting Through Shared Experience

As a BG5 coach, we consider authenticity more than just a trait; it is our most powerful tool.  When we embody the aspects of BG5, we don’t just impart knowledge; we share real, lived experiences. This creates a genuine connection with clients, as they see us not just as guides but as fellow travellers.

Key Elements of BG5 Embodiment

Let’s dive into some aspects of the Human Design Chart that are crucial for an embodied BG5 coach:

Embracing Emotional Wisdom

Understanding and accepting your emotional nature, just like I had to with my melancholy, is vital. It’s about guiding clients with empathy rooted in your own journey of self-discovery.

Honing Your Decision-Making Style

Your strategy and decision-making authority in your Career Design Chart acts as your compass. For me, embracing my decision-making style was about aligning with my true self, and this authenticity is what your clients will resonate with.

Understanding Circuitry

Your circuitry – the connections and pathways in your design – shapes how you interact with others. As a coach, embodying this knowledge is about crafting effective strategies for clients, helping them to leverage their natural strengths.

The Journey of an Embodied Coach

Embarking on the journey to become an embodied coach requires a commitment to growth and self-discovery. The BG5 system is an essential tool in this journey, providing a comprehensive framework that deepens our understanding of human nature and potential. It is a meticulously designed system that guides coaches and clients toward profound self-awareness and fulfillment.

The BG5 system requires time and practice to master. As we delve deeper into this system, we uncover new insights that help us connect with ourselves and others more profoundly. It’s not just about gaining knowledge but also about integrating these insights into our very being. By embodying these principles, we can become better guides and illuminate the path for others.

Inspiring Through Example

Your embodiment of BG5 principles isn’t just teaching clients about their Design. When they see you living in harmony with your design, it motivates them to pursue their own journey of alignment.

As a BG5 consultant, you have the opportunity to guide your clients towards discovering their unique talents and strengths and show them how to operate in a way that’s in alignment with their design. When you embody these principles yourself, it serves as a powerful example for your clients to follow.
