Accessing your inner guide might be the leadership skill no one taught you—but it's the one that changes everything. In this first episode of The Woo & The Work mini-series, we explore how intuition, energy, and what some might call the woo directly influence how you lead, make decisions, and build lasting confidence.
You’ll learn how to identify your inner critic (also known as the “gremlin”) and tap into a higher energy state—what’s known as Level 7 in the Energy Leadership framework—to access your inner wisdom. We also look at a fascinating phenomenon called third man syndrome, a powerful example of inner guidance during life-or-death moments—and how it applies to everyday leadership.
This isn’t just theory. You’ll walk away with practical ways to start tuning into your own inner mentor, so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and ease.
