How to Trust Your Intuition in Decision-Making

We all know that feeling.

That quiet nudge before a big decision.
The voice that whispers yes when everyone else says no.
The tightening in your chest that signals something's off, even when the data looks perfect.

It’s intuition. And while it can feel mysterious or even irrational, research suggests that learning to trust it might be one of the smartest moves you can make—especially in your career or leadership journey.

In this post, we’ll explore:

  • What intuition really is (and isn’t)

  • The science behind gut feelings

  • Why it matters in high-stakes decisions

  • How to tell the difference between fear and intuition

  • Simple, practical tools to strengthen intuitive decision-making

  • And how to bring it into your work in a way that feels grounded, not woo-woo
