Methodology: Gut Intelligence (GQ)

Our leadership programs are designed to help you raise your level of consciousness so you can make better decisions in alignment with your vision, values, and goals. We do this by increasing your Gut Intelligence (GQ).

Susan trademarked the process and term, "Gut Intelligence (GQ)," after she noticed how often leaders unconsciously created crisis management situations by not listening earlier on to the cues at the tip of the iceberg. In these unprecedented times, when change is the only constant, it is extremely important to have high GQ, just as much as IQ and EQ.

Increased GQ will help you to respond to difficult situations with a clear, calm, and confident mindset, instead of reacting in a fight, flight, or freeze manner as you did before. By giving you techniques to increase your Gut Intelligence (GQ), you will become aligned to your intuitive voice, as well as have the courage and confidence to make a decision so you can execute it and manifest the outcome you desire. Increased Gut Intelligence (GQ) is the wisdom to know the truth and the guts to do something about it.

Susan's Gut Intelligence (GQ) methodology is based on brain science, that teaches us how to get out of the reaction center of our brain so you can reach the higher lobes in your brain where innovation, intuition, and vision occur. By learning how to activate the gut-brain axis, you will bring the unconscious neurotransmitters, neurons, and hormones up the vagus nerve for processing from a higher consciousness point of view.

"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 and observe, before you leap in 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"?", we become the creators of the life we want to live, at work and home.

This is just one technique within our Gut Intelligence (GQ) to help you get to higher brain thinking. Learning breathing techniques is another technique that will slow down your chattering mind, so you can listen to that still small 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!
