Keynote: The Power of Intuition
Intuition is a skill exhibited by highly successful people around the world, but paradoxically, it is also a skill seldom discussed in corporate settings and rarely included in leadership training. Until now.
Workshop: Reading People Intuitively
Intuitive perception gives you the ability to more fully understand what is really happening with somebody—which may not be as it appears on the surface.
Retreat: Visionary Governance
The greatest challenge of the governing board is working with corporate leadership to invent the future of the organization. This retreat is designed to teach trustees the basics of visioning.
Workshop: Reading People Intuitively
with Kevin Kaiser
Intuitive perception gives you the ability to more fully understand what is really happening with somebody—which may not be as it appears on the surface.
Your first impression of somebody is a moment of pure perception. It happens before any interpretation, assumption, or colored glasses that come from knowing their history.
This impression usually comes through your most developed perceptual channel. If it’s emotional, you will get a first feeling about them. If it’s mental, you will get a first thought about them. If it’s intuitive, you’ll get a first knowing about them. From the moment of first impression on, all perceptions are interpreted through the storyline you have created about them.
Because of this, first impressions (before interpretation) are often the most free of distortion. As you become more multi-sensory, your first impressions are even richer.
And as you perceive more, you have more alternative actions available. You can also sense the developmental trajectory of a person. This enables you to help them move into a future form.
The Nature of Intuition
Most of us acknowledge we have intuitive hits, but very few of us know much about intuition and how it works—or whether it can be developed.
There is increasing interest in intuition, because more and more people are recognizing that teaching people about their knowing is as important as teaching people about their thinking. Businesses around the globe are hiring corporate intuitives and intuitive trainers.
Intuition is a human birthright—everyone has it, and nobody is without it. And some people are born with more ability than others. Although intuition is often relegated to the mystical or ethereal realms, intuition is a native part of being human—an ability that can be developed like any ability.
Skilled intuitives are good at perceiving patterns and recognizing possibilities that are gaining momentum long before most people recognize them. Intuitives may see a pattern of disease before it manifests as disease in the body—or the pattern of a potential disaster in an organization well before the disastrous event.
Recognizing subtle patterns not only gives you a sense of what's likely, but allows you to shift conditions so a new possibility begins to move into place. Said more simply, instead of predicting the future, intuition allows you to co-create the future.
Most teachers of intuition use avant-garde techniques that lean heavily on experiential learning. And these techniques appear to have a commonality—they teach you how to recognize the similarity between one thing and another. When you first meet a person and have an immediate sense of them, this is because a quality in them induces a response in you—this quality has resonance with something in you. When you walk into someone's office and feel uncomfortable, it's not random—there is a reason. The art of intuition is getting better at understanding the reason.
So, the question is, do you know what to do next?
