Elise + Anna = Excellent Adventures x Archetypes


​
Hi Reader!

It recently occurred to us that if we wanted an example of “How to utilize The Human Solution toolkit for the powers of good,” we need look no further than directly at ourselves. Because Anna and I are the perfect example of two very different archetype profiles that combine forces to create magic (and occasionally drive each other nuts). 😈

So we're pulling back the curtain of our office.

Because nothing says "professional launch strategy" quite like emailing your entire list to say: "Hello, here is a little peek inside my personality and nervous system. Please enjoy responsibly."

So, here are our archetype results, and how they interact to make magic, and a little bit of healthy friction.

We are currently beta testing the Creative Agility Index with people who want to better understand how they navigate possibility and contribute to adaptive work.

The beta is for people who are willing to look honestly at their creative pattern: not just what they are good at, but where their potential for growth and increased range lie.

If the question feels useful, what does the work need from me now? — We would love to invite you into the beta.

Because in a landscape that keeps demanding pivots, the real advantage may be learning how to pause long enough to ask the better question.

Not simply, “Where should we turn?”

But:

What does the problem need?
What does the idea need?
And what kind of creative response are we ready to bring?

The Human Solution

Leadership isn’t just a title. It’s a skill. And too often, managers are promoted for their individual contributions—then left to figure out leadership on their own. That’s a recipe for burnout, discomfort, and a whole lot of stress. At The Human Solution, we believe management is a professional skill set in its own right. And if you want to build high-performing teams and create a culture that thrives, your managers need the right tools—not just instincts.

I spend a lot of time teaching people how to regulate their nervous systems. It’s the foundation of the work we do at The Human Solution. Understanding what’s happening in your body when you’re stressed, recognizing when your fight-or-flight response has decided to take over the show, and developing the ability to create a little space between what you’re feeling and what you do about it. It is good stuff. Important stuff. Stuff that pretty much all of us could stand to get better at. And I...

Therapeutic language was supposed to help us understand ourselves. Somewhere along the way, we started using it to manage everyone else. As a person who 100% believes that every human would benefit from a little therapy, I also believe that the weaponization of therapeutic language has gotten a little out of hand. Words that were designed to help us name complicated internal experiences have escaped into the wild. I blame social media, but whatever the reason, therapy language is now...

Confession time. I am in a little bit of a funk. I scan the headlines, open LinkedIn, and feel nothing. Not excitement. Not rage. Not jealousy. Not even the useful kind of irritation that occasionally sparks an idea. Just meh. I love reading. I love learning. And there is plenty of content. So much content. Leadership content. AI content. Leadership content about AI. AI content about leadership. Five ways to build trust. Seven questions great managers ask. A carousel explaining that employees...
