The Gut Check: Opportunity, Identified


The Gut Check: Your weekly pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership.

Hi Reader,

I'm wrapping up a week that felt like a whirlwind. Each day had distinctive and energizing moments.... all against a backdrop of Spring celebrations and traditions: Passover, Easter, Patriots Day and Marathon Monday.

I'm grateful for the insight I gain from both the flurry of activity and when I can slow down and appreciate each moment. Holding both perspectives provides information about how I feel as I make space to enjoy this time.

This week's Gut Check features some tools and perspectives that you can use to help you make informed decisions about how to fill your time and use your energy.

I hope that you are able to make space for the people and activities that energize you, especially as the year continues to unfold and new opportunities and challenges arise.

🃏 Corporate Tarot Cards® This Week

If you’ve been following along, you know I pull a Corporate Tarot Card® each week (#TarotTuesday) to bring a little clarity to the fog and momentum to the messiness.

This week I asked "What's your next move?" Well, we got Opportunity, one of the major strategy cards. It’s a nudge to notice what’s already unfolding. The next right step may not require a reinvention—just the willingness to step through a door that’s already cracked open. Watch the pull on TikTok, Instagram or LinkedIn.

I also shared a bonus reading after a great prompt from someone in the community: "What do I need as I create, innovate, and share my work?" The card that came forward was Identification: Get Specific. This tactical card asks you to ground your creativity in clarity. Why are you doing this? What does success actually look like? Your answers matter. Watch the bonus pull on TikTok, Instagram or LinkedIn.

If you’re navigating a decision or gearing up for a new chapter, I’d love to pull a card for you. Just reply to this email or drop into my DMs wherever you watch.

📝 Clarity Tool of the Week: Journaling for Intuition

Journaling isn’t just reflection. It’s not about gratitude lists or planning your week. It’s a strategic practice I use to listen in—especially when the outside world is loud or I feel disconnected from what I actually want.

On the podcast this week, I’m sharing how I use journaling to strengthen my intuition, clarify decisions, and even spark strategy. (Spoiler: it’s not always deep or profound. Sometimes it’s messy. And that’s the point.)

Hi Reader, You have more data than you think. Not the kind of data that lives in a spreadsheet. You have the data that comes from every conversation, every pattern, every moment of experience you've accumulated over your career. This is what I call invisible data. Your intuition has been trained on it and your intuition processes all of it quietly, constantly, without you having to do anything. Most leaders I work with already know this on some level. They trust their gut. They make fast...

The Gut Check: Your pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership. Hi Reader, I have a mantra I return to every time I'm in a tough situation. Circle of Influence. Circle of Control. A mentor taught it to me years ago, and I've passed it along to probably every mentee and direct report I've ever had: care only about what you can influence and control. The rest isn't worth your time. I even picked up a Polish idiom along the way that's become my companion mantra: Nie mój cyrk, nie moje...

The Gut Check: Your pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership. Hi Reader, Some of my most formative professional experiences were working on consulting engagements known as Value Based Deals. These programs were intended to provide consulting services that realized actual, tangible, quantifiable benefits for clients (think beaucoup bucks CapEx and OpEx savings for Fortune 100 companies) without upfront payment. This was particularly appealing during the economic downturn in 2008...
