Intuition: Maybe Not Such a "Soft" Skill After AllWritten by Susan Dunn, MA Clinical Psychology, The EQ Coach
Lorna Ramsay and her husband, David, live in Scotland and run TOP-SET® Incident Investigation System ( http://www.TOP-SET.com ). They teach how to investigate industrial accidents all over world, for high-hazard industries as well as emergency services and medical sector. They and TOP-SET® team also go into field to investigate for clients all over world, and teach engineers who work in nuclear plants, oil and gas, explosives and other high hazard industries, how to stay safe by using their intuition. The most rewarding outcome of their work is companies find that being humanitarian affects their bottom line. What they learn through TOP-SET® saves lives, increases business performance, enhances company’s reputation, increases profitability, complies with regulation, and prevents and predicts similar occurrences. And it also affects employee morale and attitude. “When an employer sends his or her managers to our seminars,” says Lorna, “they know company cares about them. What we teach – and we’re educators, not trainers – spills over in other areas of workplace. TOP-SET® is a ‘thinking system.’ We teach our clients to investigate, i.e., to think their way through what is really a complex problem. We’re ‘problem-solvers.’ And once you can analyze what happened, and learn from it, you can prevent and eventually predict.” HOW DO THEY TEACH INTUITION? “Go back to when you were in an unfamiliar situation,” says Lorna. “Think of how a dog or child behaves. When my dog runs down to beach in morning and sees a rubbish bag, she’ll sniff, circle it, even bare her teeth until she’s sure it’s safe. Well that’s what these engineers need to learn how to do, to 'sense' when something has changed.”

By Margaret Paul, Ph.D. What’s playing on your inner TV? Your inner TV is screen in your mind upon which you create various scenarios. Perhaps channel is "Reliving Past." Maybe it’s "Controlling Future." Is your channel on "Obsessive Thinking" where you are ruminating over and over about a situation or about how you want to handle something? Our mind tends to go on and on making up stuff, as if what it is thinking is always truth. However, mind has been deeply programmed since childhood to think and believe in ways that often have nothing to do with truth. Truth is that which comes from source of truth, which is Spirit. We are able to access truth when we are present in this very moment with a deep desire to learn about truth and love. When we are present to this moment - to our inner experience and our surroundings - we are present with Spirit, so Spirit is able to communicate with us. When our deepest desire is to be present with truth, love and reality of this moment, we stop our obsessive or programmed thinking, which is always a way to control. When we are present in this moment, we have surrendered to Spirit. We have let go of control and are in faith that we are being guided and supported in our highest good. We don’t need to put our limited mind in charge because we know that we will receive whatever messages we need from our Guidance. Our inner TV is OFF! So, is your inner TV on or off? How often is your inner TV on "Control" channel? For example, let’s say that you know that you need to speak with your boss about a problem you are having with another employee. You probably spend some time thinking about what you’re going to say. If you’re on control channel, then your wounded self has possession of remote control of your inner TV. On this channel you are thinking about how to make your point, how to be heard and understood, how to win, how to be right, how to convince, and so on. You might be preparing your defense should your boss disagree. Perhaps you rehearse this over and over, rerunning video you have recorded. You want to make sure you get it right.
