EXPANDED
BIO
Penney
Peirce is a gifted expert intuitive, visionary, and author, as
well as a popular lecturer, counselor, and trainer specializing
in intuition development, "skillful perception," and dreamwork.
She has worked throughout the US, Japan, South Africa, and Europe
since 1977 as a coach to business executives, psychologists, scientists,
other trainers, and those on a spiritutal path. She has been on
staff with The Center for Applied Intuiton and The Institute for
the Study of Conscious Evolution in San Francisco, and currently
is on the faculty of The Learning Cafe, which offers training
and consulting to entrepreneurs, and The Kaiser Institute, which
trains hospital CEO's, health care consultants, philanthropists,
and foundation boards in the development of intuitive and visionary
skills.
She is the author of The Intuitive Way: The Definitive Guide
to Increasing Your Awareness (Council Oak Books 2005), Dreams
for Dummies (Wiley&Sons 2000), and The Present Moment:
A Daybook of Clarity and Intuition (McGraw Hill 2000), and
and is featured in various other books, including: Return of
the Revolutionaries by Walter Semkiw, MD (Hampton Roads 2002),
The Purpose of Your Life and When Life Changes, Or You
Wish It Would by Carol Adrienne, The Celestine Prophecy
and Tenth Insight Experiential Guides, by Adrienne and James
Redfield, and Opening the Inner Eye, Intuiting the Future,
and Channeling: The Intuitive Connection by Dr. William
Kautz of the Center for Applied Intuition.
Peirce's
work is open-minded, practical, and sophisticated, synthesizing
diverse cultural and spiritual worldviews with many years' experience
in business as a corporate art director with such companies as
Atlantic Richfield and American Hospital Supply Corporation. She
is extraordinarily attuned to the intricacies of the mind and
the various dimensions of human awareness, blending a deep understanding
of natural laws with a designer's skill in structural patterning.
She is known for her ability to present complex ideas in a common
sense, easy-to-understand way. Penney emphasizes the practical
aspects of intuitive development, helping people apply "direct
knowing" to increase natural efficiency and their enjoyment/participation
level in life.
Her work
assists people and organizations in uncovering life purpose and
action plan, understanding and easing transitions, alleviating
burnout, and finding accurate, appropriate answers to pressing
questions. She believes that life functions according to innate
natural principles, and when we live in alignment with these truths,
things work smoothly and effectively. Penney was educated at the
University of Cincinnati, the New School for Social Research,
Columbia, and California Institute of the Arts. She makes her
home near San Francisco. Her website is >www.intuitnow.com<
RECENT
ACTIVITIES
I estimate that in the past 25 years, I have personally worked
with at least 70,000 people, not including those who have been
influenced worldwide by my books or heard me through the media.
I counsel executives from companies such as Boeing, Oracle, Apple,
Adobe, Hewlett Packard, Silicon Graphics, Prism Solutions, Lockheed
Martin, Levi Strauss, Williams Sonoma, Charles Schwab, Dell Computer,
Dupont, Sprint, MCI, The Discovery Channel, McMorrow Associates,
Lucasfilms, and various government agencies. In Japan I have worked
with executives from TOMY Toys, Matsuyama Dept Stores, Citicorp,
Hitachi, NHK, Texas Instruments, Price Waterhouse, as well as
people at the American Embassy and a member of the royal family.
I also work with and counsel various management consultants and
corporate trainers. I have consulted to entrepreneurs, judges
and lawyers, stock brokers, doctors, psychotherapists, health
club managers and personal trainers, ministers, native American
shamans, physicists, researchers,
inventors, electrical engineers,
nuclear power plant inspectors, and architects, designers, and
artists of every kind. I have also worked with people in the entertainment
industry (in Los Angeles, Washington, and Tokyo): directors, actors,
composers, musicians, newscasters, MC's, casting directors, producers,
filmmakers, animators, and programming directors. I have worked
with teenage runaways with drug problems, 5-year-old children
who see angels, terminally ill people, manic depressives, professional
gamblers, satanically abused people, and a prisoner from San Quentin.
I have
also counseled other teachers/leaders in the human potential movement
as well as parapsychologists. I have worked with an identity company
and came up with the name for the new NASA virtual aviation center:
Future Flight Central.
I
am on the faculty of the Kaiser Institute, working in both their
Intuition Fellowship and Philanthropy Fellowship, which trains
hospital CEO's, health care consultants, philanthropists, and
hospital boards in the development of intuition and visionary
skills. I have worked in the following venues: San Francisco Bay
Area, Sacramento/Nevada City, greater Los Angeles area, Santa
Barbara, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Denver,
Boulder, Omaha, St. Louis, Baltimore, Washington DC, Virginia,
North Carolina, France, Japan, and have led tours to Peru and
Egypt. I have an extensive telephone clientele with clients as
far away as northern Norway. In addition, I have personally lived
in: Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus and Cincinnati, Kansas City,
rural Pennsylvania and Philadelphia area, New York City, Los Angeles,
San Francisco area, Denver, and Florida.
My first book, The Intuitive Way, is in 19 languages. It
has been called "the best book on intuition development on
the market" by the head of One Spirit Book Club. This book
was used to develop the curriculum on intuition for the online
Coach University, and I was the opening keynote speaker for their
advanced coaches conference in Dallas. The
Intuitive Way is also being used by Dr. Marcia Emery as part
of a distance learning degree in medical intuition headed up by
Dr. Norm Shealy. I am featured in one chapter of Return of
the Revolutionaries by Dr. Walter Semkiw.
