Intuition: mystical power or powerful tool?

It's easy to dismiss intuition as something 'flaky'. Yet everyone has had an experience that they could not explain, a bit of serendipity, a hunch. Successful entrepreneurs rely on it. So if your intuition has not served you well, you're probably just not tuned into it.

All the talk about heart-centered leadership is confronted by heavy reliance on rational and logical thought. This dismisses intuition and the heart's intelligence as something in the 'flaky' department or as a fickle and undependable guide.

Yet everyone has had an experience that they could not explain, a bit of serendipity, a hunch, a sense, a gut-feel. Successful entrepreneurs rely on it. If your intuition has not served you well, it is likely to be because you simply aren't tuned in.

In our interview with Dr. Rollin McCraty, research scientist with the Heart Math Institute, he reveals the results of a study that illuminates the role the heart plays in processing intuitive information and demystifies exactly how that information is conveyed.

At a time when decision-making is increasingly complex, rapid, with either not enough or way too much information, his findings provide a framework for understanding how the gift of highly energy sensitive people and the occurrence of random flashes of 'knowing' create a powerful and reliable tool – that is, if you are aware enough to know what you place your trust in.

The Evolutionary Provocateur bi-monthly show is for executives, managers, and supervisors (OR for leaders at all levels) who have noticed that it is not what you know but who you are that has the biggest impact.

Dawna Jones, the show's host, believes that by raising awareness and understanding we can make a quantum leap to a new level of innovation in business - but it has to be done collectively.

What better way to do it than by provoking the evolution of how you see yourself and your role!
