I love giving speeches and telling
stories - people often ask me how I know which ones to use when giving a
speech: it’s as though my sub-conscious intuitively knows where to go, what to
say when, and what comes next. Some people seem to intuitively know without
having to stop and think all the time: celebrity chefs whose fingers know how
much salt to pinch and release, trend-setting hair stylists whose hands and
tools work seamlessly as one, musicians who sense where the notes are, and so
many other talented professionals whose work is guided by their instincts. The
key to being able to do this: get in a good place (knowledge and skills-wise),
practice until you can do it with your eyes closed (or open), build confidence
by perfecting your competence, trust your instincts, let intuition tell you
where or what’s next, and don’t be afraid to follow your intuition. That’s how
prepared professionals create great new stuff every day.
