Your Intuition Was Right!

“You had a feeling. Then you thought about it. Then you talked yourself out of it.”

Most women have learned to do this so well they don't even notice it anymore. We call it being rational. Being professional. Not wanting to seem too emotional. But what we're actually doing is editing out the most accurate signal we have.

Intuition isn't woo-woo. It's biological. Our intuition is data that our body registers before our thinking mind takes over. And when we learn to hear it, it changes how we make decisions: in our career, our business and our relationships.

In this interactive session, Ioana Vieru will explore what intuition actually is biologically, how our brain, heart and gut communicate, and how to tell intuition apart from anxiety and fear.

Ioana will share her personal story about ignoring her intuition for 12 months. She had a job that looked perfect on paper, but came with massive Sunday evening dread. Then, at a music festival, everything became clear — her intuition spoke to her and she followed it.

The session will include audience interaction, humour and a practical Body Yes / Body No exercise. You’ll think of a real decision you're facing and notice what your body does with each option. No experience needed.

We’ll also have an honest conversation about the times we hear our intuition clearly and choose not to follow it — because that happens all the time — and explore the reasons we talk ourselves out of what we already know.

• Understand what intuition actually is: biological, not mystical.
• Learn to tell the difference between intuition, anxiety and fear.
• Experience a practical tool to hear your body's signals before your mind overrides them.
• Recognize the four most common reasons we don't follow what we already know.

• You've made a decision that looked right on paper and felt wrong in your body and went with the paper version.
• You're building a career or a business and the higher the stakes, the harder it is to trust yourself.
• You're curious what it actually looks like to make decisions from something other than logic or pressure.
• You want to meet other women who take the inner side of work as seriously as the outer KPIs.

Ioana Vieru is a Rotterdam-based coach and speaker who works with top-performing women who are successful on paper but they are crumbling inside.

With 12 years in corporate sales, she knows what it looks like to build a career you're proud of that still leaves you hollow at the end of the day.

Ioana now helps women to stop identifying with their performance and start listening to what's actually true for them. Her work starts with the inner world, not the mindset and the goals.
