In this episode, Dean Newlund and Maurice Jenkens discuss:

• The role of intuition in leadership and decision-making
• The relationship between emotional intelligence and self-awareness
• Balancing data with inner knowing in professional environments
• Personal transformation through adversity and burnout
• Human connection and authenticity in the age of AI

Key Takeaways:

• Developing self-trust by identifying the unique internal resonance of intuition allows for better decisions that align with one's deeper values and insights.
• Daily journaling practices and mindful self-check-ins can calm the nervous system and enhance clarity, especially during times of stress or uncertainty.
• The inability to process emotions impairs decision-making, as feelings provide essential context that raw data alone cannot offer.
• Intuition often manifests as subtle emotional cues or gut feelings, and acting on them, rather than waiting for external validation, can prevent missteps and missed opportunities.
   

"Why intuition? Well, it has always been there. It has not left me alone, except for the years when I was so deeply in my logical mind that I crashed, as my whole nervous system was objecting. I had sort of tucked myself away. Except for those years, intuition has been pulling on me constantly.” — Maurice Jenkens
