RISE TO LEAD

You’re Not Meant to Do It Their Way with Heather Vickery

Episode Notes

Heather Vickery didn’t follow a straight path—she built success across nonprofit leadership, luxury events, and entrepreneurship, before a personal shift forced her to rethink everything. What looked “successful” wasn’t aligned. That moment pushed her into deep self-work, where coaching found her—and where tools like Human Design started to make sense of how she was naturally wired to lead, work, and make decisions.

We go into Human Design as a practical lens for self-leadership—understanding your energy, your decision-making, and why forcing yourself into the wrong way of operating creates burnout. We also unpack overperformance, subconscious patterns, and the EASE framework—and why grounding yourself, working with your emotions, and leading in a way that actually fits you is what allows you to lead others effectively, without pressure or force.
