Methodology: Gut Intelligence (GQ)

Our leadership programs are designed to help you raise your level of consciousness, enabling you to make decisions aligned with your vision, values, and goals. We achieve this by increasing your Gut Intelligence (GQ).

Susan trademarked the process and term "Gut Intelligence (GQ)" after noticing how often leaders unconsciously created crisis management situations by ignoring early cues. In these unprecedented times, when change is the only constant, having high GQ is as crucial as having high IQ and EQ—you could go out of business in the blink of an eye without it.

Increased GQ helps you respond to difficult situations with a clear, calm, and confident mindset, instead of reacting with fight, flight, or freeze responses driven by fear, self-doubt, and judgment. Our techniques to increase your Gut Intelligence (GQ) help you recognize gut alerts that signal it's time to pay attention. Instead of reacting, you'll learn how to bypass your reaction center, becoming strategically minded and aligned with your intuitive voice. This leads to "a-ha" moments—a heightened awareness that brings chills up your vagus nerve as your gut, heart, head, and intuition all say, "YES!"

Susan's Gut Intelligence (GQ) methodology is based on brain science, teaching you how to move out of the reaction center of your brain and reach the higher lobes where intuition, enlightenment, and innovation occur. By learning to activate the gut-brain axis, you'll bring unconscious neurotransmitters, neurons, and hormones up the vagus nerve for processing from a higher consciousness point of view.

Our programs offer you the tools to elevate your leadership, ensuring you're always in tune with your gut intelligence and making the best decisions for your organization.

"How might we...?"

Here's just one tip on how you can increase your Gut Intelligence (GQ):

Curiosity leads to greater Gut Intelligence (GQ), and is a technique to get you out of the reaction center of your brain. When you learn how to observe what is happening in a neutral point of view, you say to yourself, "Hmmm...isn't that interesting. I wonder what that is about for them?" This allows you to step back from your own ego and instead observe the situation from a fearlessly detached point of view, before you leap and react. Then, when you say to yourself, and those you are working with, "How might we deal with "x" so we can create "y"?" you become the leader who responds effectively to situations, keeping everyone on track with the vision, values, and goals.

This is just one technique within our Gut Intelligence (GQ) to help you achieve increased Gut Intelligence (GQ). Learning breathing techniques is another technique that will slow down your chattering mind, so you can listen to your intuitive voice within. The goal is to learn how to observe the ego and become self-aware of how your fear, self-doubt, and judgment are getting in the way of you creating the life you want, at work and home.

With increased Gut Intelligence (GQ), and greater intuitive alignment, you will learn how to trust yourself to make decisions that are in alignment with your vision, values, and goals!
