Use your intuition when dealing with the unknown.

Follow up to Episode 12: The Five Questions of Disruption

  • How do we deal with the unknown?
  • What do we do and how do we think about where we are at?

3 Levels of Intuition

  • Intuition through doing-when you make the right choice.
  • Intuition through feeling– when you have a hunch to do something; decide based on a feeling. 

Levels that people with intuition as a preference or strength use almost exclusively.  

Most people aren’t aware of the third level: 

  • Intuition through thinking: Asking yourself two questions.

When you are in an unknown situation ask two questions:

  • What do I know about where I am at?

WAIT and see what emerges

  • What do I need to do with this information?

The majority of the time is to get more information. 

A looming ship is a metaphor for this type of intuition.  You see the bow of a ship out of the fog.

  • Who is your trusted person to share what you are learning?
