We benefit from accessing ALL of our knowledge (both cognitive and intuitive), yet some of us have been encouraged to undervalue our intuitive knowledge. Join Kedren and Sarah to learn about the four types of intuition (Expert, Creative, Relational, and Temporal) as well as Kedren's top ten favorite techniques for developing your own intuitive skills so that you have more fruitful and joyful work lives.

Inspired by the leadership book Extreme Ownership, Sarah *convinced* Nate Shea from SecureStrux to return to the podcast and dig into what Owning It means on our teams. “What’s rewarded is repeated.” In a recent March 2024 article by Zenger and Folkman, the research about the culture of empowered teams shows that if we want high engagement and productivity, we need to set the tone and help our teams by trusting them, encouraging them, and letting mistakes be opportunities to grow. It requires a fair dose of humility and willingness to let go of control. Nate and Sarah discuss the wins and the challenges of creating that culture and reveal what they think is the secret sauce to motivation and empowerment.

What would our workplaces be like if we learned to love uncertainty? How do we double down on our inputs, our habits, our practices and let go of trying to predict the future? Why is our intolerance of uncertainty growing? How do we actually grow if we don’t expose ourselves to uncertainty?
