In this commentary inspired by Jenna Kutcher’s interview with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart, I explore the intersection of science and spirituality in leadership—and why intuition is more than just a “gut feeling” or a regulated nervous system. While science can measure and validate aspects of intuition, true Intuitive Leadership™ requires expanding beyond data and nervous system regulation into authentic self-trust and aligned action.

I share my perspective on how leaders can integrate intuition as a practical, day-to-day decision-making tool using my framework: Intuition + Action = Magic™. You’ll also learn why over-reliance on nervous system regulation can actually hold leaders back, and how to practice intuition in small moments so you’re prepared to use it in bigger strategic decisions. From neuroaesthetics and creativity to trusting your inner knowing in business pivots, this reflection offers a grounded, yet expansive, guide to leading with intuition in today’s world.
