Intuitive thinking and creative insights can lead to breakthrough ideas, but they’re two different animals. Intuition is the use of patterns already learned; insight is the discovery of new patterns.
As a leader, you deal with a tremendous amount of data. It can be useful when appropriately analyzed, but in some cases may prove overwhelming and misleading. Dr. Klein offers several thoughts on how we process this data:
- When we receive a new piece of information, it joins the information we already have. This sets the stage for discovery.
- We use stories (narratives) to frame and organize the details.
- Insights shift us toward a new story: a set of beliefs that are more accurate, comprehensive and useful.
- Our insights change how we understand, act, see, feel and desire.
- Compared with routine problem-solving, insights aren’t conscious or deliberate.
Most importantly, insights change how we act, what we do next, and what we need to validate new ideas.

Are you an executive leader who wants to be more effective at work and get better results?
Did you know that research has demonstrated, that the most effective leaders model high emotional intelligence, and that EQ can be learned? It takes self-awareness, empathy, and compassion to become a more emotionally intelligent leader.
Emotionally intelligent and mindful leaders inspire people to become fully engaged with the vision and mission of their company. Mindfulleadership starts from within.
I am a consulting psychologist and executive coach. I believe coaching is a collaborative process of providing people with the resources and opportunities they need to self manage, develop change resiliency and become more effective. Utilizing instrumented assessments - clients set clear goals, make optimal use of their strengths, and take action to create desired changes aligned with personal values.
I have been chosen as an expert to appear on radio and TV, MSNBC, CBS Health Watch and in the San Francisco Chronicle, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Time, Forbes and Fast Company.
Over the past thirty-five years, I have coached hundreds of leaders to improve their leadership effectiveness.
After only 6 months, one executive coaching client reported greater productivity, and more stress resiliency helping her company improve revenues by 20%. While this may depend on many factors most of my clients report similar satisfaction in their EQ leadership competence leading to better business results.
You can choose to work with a highly seasoned executive coach to help facilitate your leadership development and executive presence awakening what’s possible.
