When I was growing up, it was not uncommon to hear someone being told “Don’t be so sensitive.” Typically this was said when a person was being accused of reacting too strongly to some minor action. Another similar statement could be “why are you so sensitive?” Sensitive skin is referred to as being problematic and requiring special care. A sensitiv…

I never expected the word “algorithm” to play such a significant role in life and society. Growing up, I thought an algorithm was something that we would leave to math classes. The last time I took a math class to complete my undergraduate degree requirements. After that, I figured I was done with algorithms. But nope. Algorithms have been thrust b…

In order to truly experience abundance as a highly sensitive leader in business, it’s necessary to heal your money story. Starting first by understanding the difference between cost and investment informed by what you define as valuable to you. From there, considering cost as an amount paid or spent to obtain something and investment as an act of d…

There is a saying that nothing is certain in life but death and taxes. Clearly, there is a lot more certain in life, with perhaps the most important one being healthcare. Healthcare is something that we all encounter throughout our lives. Health is something that many of us may take for granted, but is always something that is in flux. We might pon…

As an HSP in business and leadership, it’s important to develop an expanded mindset, to be mentally prepared to think beyond what everyone else around you thinks so you can then behave differently than everyone else around you behaves, especially in times of intensity. Developing an expanded mindset is the mental form of going to the physical gym. …

One of the central questions in experience design is how to not only engage the audience for whom we are designing, but also how do we best include them in the process of design. But such a statement can sound more like a platitude than an actual instruction. It is one thing to say “be inclusive”, but another to be truly inclusive. This can seem ch…

As we cross the mid-year point, this is a great opportunity to check in and reflect on the past six months to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished. However, typically for highly sensitives, what also tends to immediate come to mind are all the things you have not yet accomplished. This tendency can so easily overshadow what you have created so far …

We headed to the island the first weekend of the Lilac Festival. Sadly the trip was not the same as I received news before getting to the island my dad suffered a stroke (he is doing well lots of PT ahead of him) so I was not quite all there.

Most highly sensitives will use the majority of their life force energy for the majority of their life to do whatever they can to avoid tension. They will do anything and everything to protect themselves from even the possibility of overwhelm. Yet, to be a self-empowered highly sensitive leader, we need to be willing to be pioneers and actively see…

I’ve been involved in the creation and promotion of a number of athletic events, more specifically a cycling discipline called cyclocross. I’ve also participated in my fair share of events, from local road running races to Ironman and the Boston Marathon.

Being able to shift from resistance to resilience is an important skill to master as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, especially in our current times.

The field of education and learning is shifting in a lot of ways. Some of this is related to the new technologies, and the opportunities that are created through them. At the same time, we can see the duplication of traditional approaches through new technologies. Afterall, what does PowerPoint really accomplish if all we do is just put our lecture…

Consistently engaging in nourishing relationships, especially within an aligned community, is a powerful way to accelerate growth and success for HSPs in business and leadership. Being in aligned community removes the element of feeling “other” and gives you access to what Rupert Sheldrake calls the “morphogenetic field”. Through his theory of morp…

One of the things that we know as social scientists is that people need connection. It is not that we want connection, or would prefer connection, but that we need it to be part of our lives. Some of the foundational figures in sociology were all concerned with the onset of isolation and disconnection that came with industrial society. Durkheim loo…

Setting healthy boundaries is an act of resilience for highly sensitives in business and leadership.

The home buying process is not great. And while it might not ever be great, it should be better than it is. While home may or may not be where the heart is, the home is definitely where the stress starts. The whole venture of buying a home is a pain from start to finish. Anyone who has been through this knows what I’m talking about. The financing, …

In the journey of becoming and being an HSP in business and leadership, it’s important to consistently engage in the process of shifting from an untrained HSP to a trained HSP. All in order to create with more ease. However, as HSPs we often get caught up in the false belief that in order to succeed in business and leadership we need to do it the s…

Growing up highly sensitive, many of us missed the opportunity of individuation, or differentiation at a young age – what Margaret Mahler refers to as “hatching”. Because of this, we learned to cope and often hide our highly sensitive difference. We developed coping mechanisms of pushing or hiding (or moving back and forth between pushing and hidin…

There is the old saying that ‘necessity is the mother of invention.’ This could be the slogan for education in the pandemic world. All educators were thrust into a situation that many vowed they would never do: teach online. But what could we do? It wasn’t like there were a lot of options. We had to make due with what we had, and hope that it worke…

As a highly sensitive person, our neuro-sensitivity is not going away. So, if you are allowing your business or career and life to be dictated by socialized trends, then you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. The focus we want, in order to avoid the comparison traps and pressures of socialized trends, is on how to be able…

When we are untrained as a highly sensitive we can often find ourselves stuck in comparison traps – comparing our lives and businesses to to the other 80% who are not highly sensitive, or even to others who are highly sensitive to see if we “measure up”. But this is a guaranteed recipe for failure that will have you operating from your coping mecha…

Here on Experience by Design, we like to think we are experts, or at least pretty knowledgeable, about the concept of culture. A couple of PhDs and training in ethnography will at least yield a working understanding of culture, as well as how it permeates all aspects of our lives. Regardless of how ubiquitous, it also is hard to nail down in terms …

As a highly sensitive in business and leadership, living on purpose is the ultimate form of self-care. This requires you to face your overwhelm and learn that, as A Course in Miracles states, “peace is part of you and requires only that you be there to embrace any situation in which you are.” Your life purpose is not what you do, or something you f…

It might seem like an obvious statement, but different kinds of environments require different kinds of designs. Thinking about my kids for instance. As they got older, their tastes and interests changed, which as a result changed their room decor. One of my daughters is always seeking to ‘level up’ her room schwag, looking for design ideas to refl…

The key to reducing overwhelm, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, is to build discomfort resilience through containment as an act of self-care. Containment is NOT about suppressing, ignoring, or soothing your emotions. It is instead about allowing the experience of your uncomfortable emotions without staying stuck in them,…

What is business all about? Is it about profit? Or people? Or both? Another question we can ask is why is there the belief that if you are profitable, then you cannot be people focused, or even people concerned. Such a philosophy is going to seep into every aspect of workplace culture, creating a situation in which people are not only disconnected …
