The Manifestor Strategy

 
Brigitte Knight Human Design Expert

Manifestors are powerful, pure energy people who start impactful things. The purpose of Manifestor is to initiate people and new ventures.

You give other people delicious opportunities to support you in realizing your dreams.

Now, we all know that people are more inclined to follow leaders who paint a vivid picture of their vision. It’s no different for the powerful Manifestor.

The Manifestor strategy for success is their ability and willingness to inform people about their big ideas and decisions.

If Manifestors can sell their dream, project, or goal with confidence and a willing heart, they will attract the help they need to get it done.

People who feel informed and clear about a new initiative will assist rather than resist.

Some Basic Human Design Manifestor facts:

  • Your Human Design Strategy is the instruction manual for your type.

  • When you do not use their strategy, the theme of your life is frustration, fatigue, insecurity, fear, and anger.

  • When you use your strategy, your life is influential and peaceful.

It’s hard to be an impactful Manifestor when you don’t know how to use your Human Design Strategy.

Decisions regarding your career, business, and personal relationships will feel draining. They won’t work out the way you want them to.

Manifestors who try to power through poorly made decisions, report feeling deflated, irritated, and exhausted.

  • Instead of leading with self-confidence, you often lead with force of personality.

  • You experience resistance, interference, and anger from people who might otherwise support you.

  • Your fear of anger and resistance can make you stop acting like a Manifestor. You shutdown.

  • Your fear of confrontational reactions can make you bypass informing and look for ways to get around people.

  • Self-doubt and frustration may lead to unhelpful behaviors like hyper-vigilance, defensiveness, passive-aggression, cowering, avoidance, and isolation.

You do not have to experience any of this. Let your Manifestor strategy do its work.

 

MANIFESTORS OWN YOUR STRATEGY like a boss

Energetically, Manifestors are self-contained. They know what is right for them and can manifest a lot by themselves.

They don’t need to bounce their ideas off of anyone. They do not need input or permission to do anything.

They can self-inspire, envision, conceptualize, plan, and execute. It’s a very internal and private creative process.

Once Manifestors have made a decision:

  • They inform everyone that will be impacted.

  • They invite qualified people to work at making their ideas a reality.

Manifestors give Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors things to do. They initiate them into taking action according to the Design of their Human Design type.

Ideally, the vibe of their work-life should be that of a project manager or consultant. They do not do the work.

Manifestors & The Other Types

► The Manifestor and Generator relationship

The Manifestor and Generator relationship is crucial to the evolution and survival of mankind.

Here is how it works:

  • A Manifestor dreams up something new and exciting.

  • They inform and invite a worker-bee Generator to help them make it happen.

  • The Generator excitedly responds YES to the Manifestor’s invitation.

    • They get to work making it happen because they love to work

► What about Projectors and Reflectors?

Projectors and Reflectors bring order, direction, and efficiency to Manifestor projects. However, many couples, families, and organization structures overlook their value.

Even people versed in Human Design subconsciously exclude Projectors and Reflectors from their workforce.

Why does this happen? As a Projector, here is my two cents:

In traditional Human Design, the takeaways regarding Projectors are that they are here to manage others, they have to wait for invitations to act, and they need to prioritize resting. They are not worker-bees like the Generators. They are not at their best in traditional work structures.

So if you are a Manifestor who needs workers to bring your ideas into reality, you will naturally wonder how a Projector or Reflector can make a productive contribution.

This thought is understandable because globally, the valued work model prioritizes the Manifestor-Generator relationship. Ideas, production, automation, output, and profit. — How does the Projector and Reflector purpose, strategy, and energy level fit into that strongly held mindset?

While you are learning about yourself as a Manifestor, I encourage you to go deeper in your understanding of the other types.

Here is a list of the value added by Projectors and Reflectors:

  • Enlightened and aware Projectors and Reflectors bring balance and stability to the table.

  • They provide big picture insight and direction that busy Generators miss.

    • Projectors direct strategy and energy.

    • Reflectors provide feedback regarding the health and effectiveness of the team.

    • Projectors and Reflectors save you time and frustration.

Remember to invite and include Projectors or Reflectors to bring their wisdom to your Manifestor and Generator projects!

 

How a Manifestor Initiates in The Real World: A Case Study

Recently, I coached a Manifestor who knew the basics of their Human Design type and strategy.

As we talked about her desire for more satisfying friendships, it was obvious that she was WAITING to be initiated and invited by others.

  • “Waiting” is not part of the Manifestor life strategy. Manifestors are initiators. They get things started.

I learned that when she tried to initiate others, somehow she ended up doing all the work herself. She was over it!

  • “Doing the work” is not part of the Manifestor purpose. They give people work to do.

In effect, my Manifester client had became a “Generator-slave.” — Rather than delegating, they let others delegate to them.

The script is flipped when a Generator is initiating and the Manifestor is responding.

When the Manifestor-Generator script is flipped:

  • The energy flow is confused and chaotic.

  • Relationships suffer.

  • The project is more difficult than it needs to be and/or it it will fail.

How to flip the script back and regain energetic harmony:

  • To maintain energetic harmony, my client and I worked on making her strategy of initiating and informing come alive.

  • We discussed specific examples from her life and re-engineered them using her strategy.

  • She agreed to look for opportunities to experiment with her new understanding of her strategy.

What does an initiating Manifestor look like in the real world?

Two days later, my Manifestor client left me a giggly and excited Voxer App audio message.

They reported that they had INITIATED invitations to a dinner party. In a group chat, they INFORMED EVERYONE that they would provide their home and the main dish.

AND THEN THEY PAUSED.

Suddenly people piped up to INFORM HER that they would clean and bring more food items. What?

Seriously. Mind blown. What just happened?

The pause happened.

The pause brought the energy of standing in the powerful belief of “I am a Manifestor.”

The pause energetically signaled that the Manifestor had done their job. They initiated and informed.

The strategic pause created space for people to respond, get to work, and do the heavy lifting.

Woohoo!!! Behold how things can flip on a dime

when you use your strategy with precision!


CONCLUSION

Manifestors are powerful energy beings. When you understand and use your strategy to initiate and inform others of your influential plans, you will attract all the support your need.

Your strategy transforms your relationships. They are more joyful and peaceful.

When you initiate and invite Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors, you can leave them to carry on with the work. This means you can take a rest before you start your next project.
