Mohr focuses on how to “access and utilize your unfailing inner wisdom.” She speaks to women about “our future self, who is waiting to be called on for guidance and help.” It’s the voice of wisdom that “knows exactly who we would be if we were brave enough to show up as our true selves,” says Mohr.
That’s a powerful concept. Inner wisdom or intuition. Women’s intuition. Men have it too, but maybe women are unabashed about their ownership. As a leadership coach and one of the founders of Chattanooga Women’s Leadership Institute, I have had the unique opportunity of helping women recognize and value their inner wisdom. In turn, their discoveries have had an impact on major corporations in town.
If you don’t believe there is a voice inside each of us that sees around corners, take a close look at the innovation explosion occurring in Chattanooga and ask yourself if those people are listening to their inner wisdom. Intuition is alive and well – and gender-free in Chattanooga.
We’re looking at the future through the eyes of rising leaders with unique business concepts, enthusiasm for education reform and creative community-building. Civic and business entrepreneurs trust their instincts to launch a great idea, look closely at the mistakes, make changes and move on. They aren’t paralyzed by fear, doubt and worry. They aren’t waiting for a task force and a slew of data to confirm what they know in their hearts to be true. Inner wisdom.
