The Intuitive Way:
New Skills for Success in Our Intensifying World

Many of us are at a stage where life seems reminiscent of Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill every day, only to have it roll back down each night. "Am I getting anywhere?" we say. "Is life improving?" We sense that the world is intensifying, as though time itself is accelerating, as though Pandora's Box has opened and all the subconscious fears and taboos of humankind have been released into daily life. Trying to solve the proliferating problems with old methods based on cleverness, logic, structure, will power, and control just don't produce the same results anymore; in fact, these methods are exhausting us. We're discovering that working solely in the physical world to get things done is ineffective. We must now turn our attention inside to discover our inner resources and skills.

The secret to success in today's chaotic world is mastering your intuition and understanding the intangible factors that give rise to results. In this talk, Penney describes how intuition, imagination, and attention can be used to shift reality from one based on overwhelm, effort, and difficulty to one based on flow, inspiration, and mutual support. She addresses issues such as optimizing personal energy and emotional states, the power of the present moment, developing "skillful perception," recognizing and removing interferences to inspired leadership, and applying intuitive techniques to practical tasks. Attendees will have a chance to experience the intuitive state and actually use it.

Spirituality and Intuition in Business

As individual consciousness evolves from a world view based on separation and linear thinking to one based on communion and mutual inclusiveness, so the organization, and the very nature of business itself, is changing from a hierarchical to a holographic structure. In other words, we can no longer think of business as a simple mechanical system, made of separate, unrelated parts, but must now know it as a living system that nourishes itself, its employees, society and the earth. Living systems cannot be controlled. Living systems respond to the unseen, underlying blueprints of purpose, thought, and feeling that source them.

The corporation of tomorrow will have to know how to actively use intuition, direct knowing, imagination and metaphysical principles to succeed. Please join expert intuitive Penney Peirce for a fascinating look at the changing nature of our perception, and how the "new paradigm" will affect the nature of our working world.

Learn how to access and trust your intuition, discriminate accurate information and guidance, work with interpreting symbols and imagery, and use intuitive knowing in your decision-making process. Heightened intuition can help in many ways, for example: finding innovative solutions to stubborn day-to-day problems, creating a more positive overall work environment, reducing the distorting affect of stress on your thinking process, developing clearer communication habits, maximizing your sense of time and synchronicity, minimizing personal energy drain, using less will power to achieve results, and assessing prospective and current employees accurately as well as the causes and healing of various on-the-job personality conflicts.

Penney will share proven techniques from her book, The Intuitive Way, that can help you become a "practical visionary"—someone who can stretch into the clear "win-win" overview and access creative ideas while keeping both feet on the ground. The workshop combines discussion with exercises designed to give you direct experience of the intuitive state. You'll learn methods for entering intuitive awareness at will, what blocks and enhances intuition, how to read the subtle signals in your body, and how to use the insights you receive for your own practical applications.

Intuition for Coaches

Learn how to access and trust your intuition, discriminate accurate information and guidance, work with interpreting symbols and imagery, and apply intuitive knowing to your coaching process and to practical on-the-job problems. Penney will share proven techniques from her book, The Intuitive Way, that can help you become a "practical visionary"—someone who can stretch into the clear "win-win" overview and access creative ideas while keeping both feet on the ground. You'll also discover new ways of communicating the value of intuition to your clients.

Eliminating the Gap Between Self and Soul

Spend some time with an expert on intuition and the dynamics of "skillful perception." This experiential lecture addresses the heart of the work of any spiritual path: embodying your soul and living as your one, true self. You'll learn techniques for disengaging from the soul-stalling ideas that make you suffer, for reunifying your fragmented self into the "real" you, and for staying centered in the felt sense of the soul-as-body, soul-as-mind. We'll also look at the hidden dynamics of energy drain—how you may inadvertently give yourself away or lose vitality in the face of overstimulation and negative, victimy people.

Dreaming Your Way to Deeper Intuition

Discover how to increase your intuition by dreaming more actively and consciously. Do you want to increase your inner knowing, and understand where your consciousness goes at night? Penney will give you all the basics for enlivening your dream world, and for interpreting the waking dreams and omens in everyday life, so you can develop 24-hour awareness. Penney's book, Dreams for Dummies provides many interesting techniques for using dreams to enhance creativity, improve relationships, find life purpose and stay on purpose, make clear decisions, heal yourself emotionally and physically, and grow spiritually.

Living Fully in Your Ultra-Sensitive Body

For many years, the physical plane has been responding to wave after wave of heightened energy—and as life accelerates and lightens up, so do our bodies. Sensing the waves and allowing our bodies to rapidly adapt is a new intuitive art. When we're distracted and "out of our body" the waves cause us to feel irritated, agitated, and anxious. We often blame the conditions or people in our lives when that's not what's really going on under the surface. Some of us have become ultra-sensitive, open to feeling a wider range of emotion, other people's experiences, and subtle information like "event-waves" and shifts of direction in our own lives and society. When we don't take time to drop down out of our heads to become one with the body, we can't discriminate what's happening—and what needs to be done—accurately enough. By learning to be in our bodies in a new, more thorough way, we can put our subtle perceptions to positive use, instead of feeling overwhelmed, invaded, and paralyzed by negativity.

The Perception of the Heart

Join Penney as she describes the difference between living with a protected heart versus an open heart. What does an open heart feel like, and how does your perception of the world change? Can your heart really break? Or is it the strongest part of yourself—the seat of your soul? You'll see that living from the heart is not about weakness, but about being awake, and you'll learn techniques for identifying and staying in the heart's perception—even when dealing with fear and discomfort, and for quickly moving from fear back to love when you do get stuck. A soft and light heart is the secret to accessing your highest vision and truest intent.

The Transforming Perception
of the Present Moment

Keeping your attention in the present moment reveals some amazing new "rules" about the way life can work. In the present moment, your intuition blossoms, and direct knowing becomes the norm. Instead of a reality based on the linear mind, separation, fear, and will power, the present moment teaches you that what the soul wants can manifest easily, in a spirit of cooperation, immediately out of the unified field of conscious energy we inhabit. This workshop shows you how to enter a state of excited peacefulness, cheerful readiness, and apply "skillful perception."

Dear Penney,
I attended Coaching '99 and I'm writing to thank you for presenting at the conference. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on Thursday morning. I've since had an opportunity to review my notes and am reminded of how much learning really did occur. I look forward to putting some of your suggestions and insights to use and further exploring the use of my intution. Thanks so much!

Dear Penney,
The other night at a meeting, I ran into a woman who had attended the Coach U conference last week. She was the first person I had spoken with who had been there and she said the most impressive part of it for her was your keynote address. She felt it set the tone for the entire conference. I'm sure you had wonderful feedback when you were there and I thought you would like to know that praise for your work is still circulating.
