Trustrepparttar 104444 Power of Your Intuition

"Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness." - Shakti Gawain

You have an important decision to make...your intuition is telling you one thing and your mind is advising another direction. You may have read about intuition or, heard people talk aboutrepparttar 104445 importance of following it, but still you hedge at takingrepparttar 104446 leap. What's missing can be summed up in one word: TRUST.

What stops you from trusting your intuition?

- The Logical Mind - It's not uncommon for logic to say "If it can't be proven, seen, felt or heard, it's hogwash. Give me facts, give me proof."

- Social conditioning - Most of us aren't raised in environments where our caretakers say, "Use that intuition! Really listen to it."

- Doubt - Until we become attuned torepparttar 104447 voice of our own intuition, we may harbor doubt. People often say to me, "I'm not sure if it's my intuition or something else."

- Inner critic/self-sabotage - Whenever you hear your inner wisdom,repparttar 104448 inner critic is bound to pop up and offer its sabotaging opinion.

- You don't like what your intuition tells you - Sometimes our intuition rings clear as a bell, and we don't like what it says. For example: "You need to leave this job NOW." Unless you have another job lined up or money inrepparttar 104449 bank, most of us would feel fear upon hearing that statement.

The Seven Secrets to New Age Leadership

Written by JoAnna Brandi


Did you ever notice that In our American culture, we haverepparttar tendency to look outside of ourselves for leadership? That’s a trap. Isn’t it time we looked inside ourselves to see how we can berepparttar 104442 leader we want and need to be inrepparttar 104443 21st century? I certainly think so.

Leadership used to be about telling people what to do. We sawrepparttar 104444 manager as “hero.” Managers were needed to solve problems, needed for their technical expertise and their know-how. They were needed to keeprepparttar 104445 ship running in tiptop shape!

All our old leadership models came fromrepparttar 104446 military, where people took their command from a few people atrepparttar 104447 top. These models don’t work in today’s world. Asrepparttar 104448 industrial age models rust,repparttar 104449 power has shifted fromrepparttar 104450 people who sell, torepparttar 104451 people who buy.

Today’s business leader needs to a master juggler, and a compassionate listener. She needs to be savvy and intuitive and sharp as a tack in business matters. Most of all today’s leader needs to be able to mobilize HUMAN energy, align it and direct it towards a single goal – creating more value forrepparttar 104452 customer. This, in turn creates a more profitable company. Companies that have high levels of customer happiness and employee happiness outperform those who don’t. It’s pretty simple.

I believe there are seven traits of successful leaders forrepparttar 104453 21st Century.

Creative thinker - Einstein said, “The world we have created is a product of our way of thinking” Nothing will change inrepparttar 104454 future without fundamentally new ways of thinking.

If we want to create a new world we have to first change our thinking and thinking patterns. 80% ofrepparttar 104455 population thinks reactively. They take action to make something go away (usually a problem.) The other 20% are creative thinkers – they take action to make something come into being (the creation.)

Creative thinkers thrive onrepparttar 104456 question “What’s Possible?” Reactive thinkers ask, “What’s wrong?” or “Who’s to blame?” Reactive thinkers live in reaction and response to circumstances. Creative thinkers go beyond circumstances.

The next quality of tomorrow’s leader is “Change readiness.” The Change-ready individual embraces change. They understandrepparttar 104457 process of change and how it affects most people, and is skilled at enrolling people in it with a minimum amount of fear.

Most people do resist change – that’s because it forces us right out of our comfort zones. A leader knows how to move people out of their comfort zones with dignity and respect. He helps people share a “common understanding” ofrepparttar 104458 past and why they need to change it and then provides them with a positive image of their future along with actions they can all agree will move them inrepparttar 104459 right direction.
