How to Figure Out Where You Want to Be — And Get There.

The Surprising Power of Intuition

Why listening to your gut is a powerful tool.

Intuition is an amazing thing.

In my work as an executive coach, I see so many people absolutely, totally, completely, 100% stuck.  They need to make a decision - they know they have to make a decision - yet they can't seem to make it.

They don't know what to do.

But they could know what to do if they stopped neglecting the most vital piece of information.  Information that's right in front of them.

The information that comes from their intuition.

By and large, they fail to listen to their gut.

They discount their gut.

They worry that their gut is wrong.

They second-guess themselves.

And nothing happens.  At all.

Sound at all familiar? Let me give you a quick exercise.  Ready?

Write down all the times you have had an intuitive hunch.  Note where you listened to your gut - what happened?  Note where you didn't listen to your gut - what happened?

What does this tell you about your own intuitive powers?

What I know for sure is this - you can eliminate the drama and hassle of second-guessing yourself when you realize that your hunches are almost always right.  That your intuition is there to serve you.
