Michael Brown



”Michael Brown has a wealth of BG5 knowledge and the ability to key note and synthesize charts. 

In his classes, he provides the BG5 information we are here to learn with examples of student charts and key notes to help us experience the art of synthesizing clients' charts with the information being taught. 

He encourages class participation to do the same. His approach is practical and makes learning fun.”

 "I loved the 2nd semester of the BG5 Foundation course!

Initially I feared that, as the group was much larger, it would lead to great dispersion. There were a lot of sharing, but they substantially enriched the training, as we heard in the 'first hand' how such different designs are experienced in real life.

Michael is incredible as a teacher! He always found diverse and motivating strategies to teach the contents, and he always managed to work at the big picture level, focused in teaching the WHYs and the HOWs more than the WHATs... and both things made learning much easier and fun. He was also very generous in sharing his materials, pre-recorded videos, etc., which enriched the learning process and the students.

The workload is higher in the second semester. By using more practical pedagogical strategies, it meant we had to invest more time before the sessions. I loved the methodology, and to manage expectations of students, I suggest that new students are informed that they will have to spend 2 hours in classes + 2/3 hours outside classes. But the methodology for me was very good, worth all the minutes I had to invest in studying outside of class.

It was an excellent idea to create a WhatsApp group that brought the group together, as we are people with such different backgrounds, ages, experiences, countries and even very different time zones.

A word also to Iva, our assistant, who always accompanied us in such a graceful, empathetic and professional way, also facilitating learning.

The experience was so enriching that I signed up for the next 3 semesters of certification, wanting to continue with Michael as a teacher, and I am very happy because the majority of the class will follow the certification path.

The forum is, for me, a privileged way to learn, and it would be interesting to encourage students to continue publishing their homework, which are reflections on how they experience design, from which I learn from a different perspective, a more practical on.

And also a thanks to Alina and Sara, 'office faces' that handled all the bureaucracy throughout the process (including residence certificates).

GREAT work to us all!”

”Learning from Michael Brown in the ‘Blueprint for Social Media Success for Human Design Professionals’ has been an incredibly enriching experience.

Michael has a warm and enveloping presence that makes learning from him not only easy but deeply impactful.

Michael has a unique ability to show us how to quickly grasp the essence of one’s chart by effortlessly connecting the dots, giving us tools to gain deeper insights in one’s chart in no time.

His keynoting is consistently on point, offering both insightful and practical guidance in every session. With his delightful sense of humor and vast life experience, Michael creates an atmosphere that is not only educational but thoroughly enjoyable. I feel truly fortunate to have learned from such a skilled and compassionate teacher.

Thank you, Michael!

Looking forward to Semester 2 of the Profit Potential Course. ”

 ”Michael knows how to bring the content to you in an easy way.

He is very attentive and pays attention to those areas where you need an explanation. 

I especially like it because its explanation contains the big picture and is easier to understand.

I definitely recommend working at Michael!”

”I'm currently in the BG5 Level 1 Foundation Course. I just watched the replay of your class yesterday and just wanted to say how much I loved it!!!!

I'm a 5/1 Express Builder with all Functions defined except for my completely open Inspiration function. In all of my years of studying Human Design through various sources, this is the first time I got a really clear explanation of how having certain other Functions defined affects your decision-making strategy as a Builder.

I was really glad someone asked about the impact of also having the Willpower Function defined because had I been there life, I definitely would have asked that (and tons of other questions as well, 1st line with caves environment and fear motivation here).

I love all the keynoting examples as they gave me a deeper insight into my own design as well from a BG5 perspective.

Thank you so much for providing this class. If I wasn't already enrolled in BG5 Foundation, I definitely would have signed up (after sleeping on it for at least 2 nights LOL) based on this class alone.
