Our programs are designed to elevate your level of consciousness, enabling you to SHIFT out of the ego's chattering mind of fear, self-doubt, and judgment so you can make decisions that are aligned with your vision, values, and goals. We achieve this by increasing your Gut Intelligence® (GQ), a proven trademarked process since 2016.
Susan trademarked the term and process of Gut Intelligence® (GQ) after being a coach and consultant for 37 years, observing how often leaders unconsciously created crisis situations by ignoring early cues that were out of alignment with their vision, values, and goals. By not noticing their gut-alerts that indicated patterns were emerging, leaders often relied on data. By the time data appeared they were often in crisis management and had to operate from the hierarchical structure that put them in charge of decision-making. This kept them from empowering their talent to notice cues and patterns, gather stakeholders, and make effective decisions.
In these unprecedented times, where change is the only constant, having high GQ is just as crucial as having high IQ and EQ—to avoid costly mistakes and delays. Increasing Gut Intelligence® among leaders and their talent changes the culture to one that is more engaged and empowered. According to the Gallup Poll Research and McKinsey Study, employee engagement increases productivity because employees feel heard, seen, and valued for their ideas.
Our techniques for increasing your Gut Intelligence® (GQ) help you with whole-brain thinking. Neuroscience now recognizes the gut, heart, mind, and intuition as information centers. When we improve the gut-brain axis, we take the unconscious gut-alert and make it conscious. Furthermore, we get beyond logic and tap into a higher consciousness that allows us to achieve that "a-ha" knowing: a heightened awareness when we know which path is exactly right for us.
Rather than making decisions from that initial gut-alert that can send you into a fight, fight, or freeze reaction, Gut Intelligence® teaches you how to bypass the reactive center of your brain, with the S.T.O.P. Technique:
-Slow down and breathe to regulate your nervous system, open the bridge in your brain and reach the strategic center
-Tune into the ego's chattering mind of fear, self-doubt, and judgment (what is it warning you about?)
-Observe the possibilities to overcome those fears, self-doubt, and judgment
-Perceive that "a-ha" knowing by asking your intuition, "How might I make the best right action based on my vision, values, and goals?"
How do I increase my Gut Intelligence® ?
Science tells us that mediating 20-minutes a day improves our gut-brain axis. With our Gut Intelligence® methodology, we not only teach you techniques like the S.T.O.P. Technique and Meditation, we help you identify your core operating system that takes you instantly to your primal fears for safety, security, love, and belonging when you get a gut-alert. By identifying this neuropathway in your brain, you can re-route this neuropathway with new beliefs and thought patterns that help quickly become intuitively aligned so you can manifest the outcomes you have in mind.
Our Gut Intelligence® (GQ) methodology is designed to help you SHIFT your level of consciousness and elevate your leadership, ensuring you make the most effective decisions that align with your vision, values, and goals—both at work and at home.
