Intuition: What is it and why is it important? Intuition is that inner knowing which can help us access answers to questions, we all rely so much on data and facts that in this busy world, many of us have lost this ability. When was the last time you had a gut feel about something, then ignored it? What happened then? I have put together a modular series of presentations on Intuition for the workplace, which I call Intuition at Work. The file I am sharing gives you an overview of the principles and I have other modules which I adapt depending on the nature of the business. Any feedback or queries would be most welcome!
