✍️ On Substack: Why Realignment Is the Most Overlooked Step in Getting the Results You Want

Actionable Intuition is the cornerstone of Intuition Strategy®. In order to take action on what your intuition - your inner trusted advisor - is sharing, you must make the space to hear and understand it. Realignment is an opportunity to pause the often non-stop focus on delivery and proactively listen to assess what comes next.

Learn how you can make space by incorporating a powerful realignment practice into your rhythm. Read my latest Substack post to understand the framework, see it in practice, and apply it to your work in as little as 30 minutes.

🎴 Corporate Tarot Cards®: A Pull to Align Impact

In a recent workshop I hosted for the Chief of Staff Networking Group, I pulled two cards:

🔹 Beliefs – A tactical card from the suit of mind representing logic, power, and perspective.
This card asks: What beliefs are guiding your leadership right now?
Rigid thinking (“this is how it’s done”) limits flexibility and dulls our strategic edge. Examine the assumptions shaping your role.

🔹 Expansion – A tactical card from the suit of drive representing growth, influence, and momentum.
This card asks: Where is your leadership most needed?
Stretch your reach. Think beyond your direct scope and control. Consider external influencers, stakeholders, and systems that shape your impact and affect outcomes..

Together, these cards prompted a powerful reflection: How can we lead with both clarity and creativity? How might we align intuition with impact?

👩‍💻 Free Workshop: Behind Every Decision

I created this workshop for the leaders behind the leaders. Behind Every Decision: The Intuition Strategy® Map for Chiefs of Staff is a free 90-minute workshop in partnership with the Chief of Staff Networking Group.

Alignment is a practice.

When you slow down long enough to hear your inner trusted advisor, you don’t need a master plan. You just need your next step.

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.
