Most leaders don't have an intuition problem. They have a discernment problem.
You've been getting signals. You've been sensing when something's off. You KNOW when a decision doesn't sit right.
But you can't tell the difference between your survival brain screaming "Stay safe!" and your inner wisdom whispering "This is the way."
So you ignore it. Override it. Ask everyone else's opinion. And six months later? You're thinking, "I KNEW I shouldn't have done that."
That inner doubt isn't just frustrating. It's expensive. It's the partnerships that drain you. The hires that don't work out. The opportunities you say yes to that pull you further from what matters.
In this episode, we go deep on Pillar #2: Intuitive Discernment—your compass. You'll discover:
- The difference between instinct (survive) and intuition (thrive)—and why confusing them costs you
- The Relief vs. Resonance Framework: How Wall Street's best make aligned decisions
- The 3-question diagnostic to know if you're following fear or wisdom
- Real stories: The 7-figure entrepreneur who almost burned out his team and the dentist who chose health over industry standards
- The Intuitive Audit: A 4-question practice to develop discernment now
- The Body Compass Practice: A simple tool you can use between meetings
Self-trust isn't a personality trait you're born with. It's a skill you BUILD. When you distinguish fear from wisdom, you stop second-guessing yourself.
