Clearly Kathryn, Business Intuition Strategies For LeadersIntuition is like knowing how to drive a carLet's get simple. If you know how to drive a car or ride a bike, you can grasp being open, letting go, and being in the flow. It's always simpler than we make it. When we are open, we realize we know what we need to know, and the rest we trust will come together like going from a street bike to a trail bike. Letting go is about letting go of worries and logical thinking about the differences between the two bikes and trusting, "I know how to ride a bike. I can do this!" In the flow...
2022-07-2521 minClearly Kathryn, Business Intuition Strategies For LeadersThe danger of Judging your intuitionWe all judge its human nature. We definitely judge intuition either if it s real, can you use it for business, and what the heck is it really. I find the biggest issue with judging intuition comes from judging the messages we get from intuition and pushing it away because it doesn't make sense or seems like daydreaming. Ignoring it because it is not in context or not logical enough. For whatever reason, the reason we judge isn't the problem. When we judge, we less the message—removing the judgment and asking for clarification without any expectation leads to a...

No matter what, intuition is always there to give the best guidance. Always accessible like the glasses to see, or knowing the sun still exists even when it's the darkest night.

Often we will go as far as voicing this to get more positive feedback from others. Intuition doesn't require proof or a story. It's knowing, trusting the next step forward. Following intuition often has no clear outcome. It is much easier to detach when you follow the path instead of building the path.

Driving requires you to be relaxed and alert, looking for signs of where to go or when you need to react. Driving and intuition are similar to this.
