The Unspoken Coaching Skill

Last week we dove into one of the 9 domains in life, the spiritual domain, as we explored the spiritual aspects to our potential.

To me spirituality is the recognition that there is much more to life than meets the eye and much more to you than you believe to be true. However you define it, spirituality connects us to that which is greater than ourself.

This week we are continuing on the "more to life than meets the eye" theme. We are covering one of the most powerful coaching skills that is also perhaps one of the least talked about or intentionally developed.  This is intuition.

Being an atheist the majority of my young-adult life I used to brush away intuition without a second thought. Until, one day my mentor invited me to reconsider handing off 50% of my own wisdom. What!? Was I really missing that much in life by disavowing my inner knowings? But isn't intuition non-rational and therefore unreasonable?  

It turns out intuition is a short cut because we are always picking up on information around us. It turns out, yes I was missing out on way more than 50% of what life had to offer me and I had to offer back. It also turns out that intuition may be non-rational, but it isn't irrational. It often shows us more truth than the confines of logic alone.

As a matter of fact, I'm only where I am today because I followed very key, non-rational intuitions that I had. 

If you are on the fence about the role of intuition and the power of human capacity you won't want to miss today's video!
