Hi everyone,
2
00:00:02.711 --> 00:00:03.774
Malu speaking.
3
00:00:04.516 --> 00:00:06.622
I'm the author of Life's Notebook.
4
00:00:07.707 --> 00:00:09.741
Welcome to the Elevation Grid.
5
00:00:11.227 --> 00:00:13.134
I speak about career,
6
00:00:13.896 --> 00:00:15.722
science and well-being.
7
00:00:16.505 --> 00:00:16.666
Okay,
8
00:00:16.666 --> 00:00:17.469
enough.
9
00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:18.212
Let's talk.
10
00:00:22.733 --> 00:00:26.288
Intuition is a gut feeling.
11
00:00:26.710 --> 00:00:27.755
It's gut feeling,
12
00:00:27.815 --> 00:00:30.408
it's not rational decision-making,
13
00:00:30.668 --> 00:00:32.128
which is often dismissed,
14
00:00:32.888 --> 00:00:36.008
and people think it's mystical,
15
00:00:37.332 --> 00:00:40.648
it's witchery to some extent.
16
00:00:41.948 --> 00:00:45.401
And intuition,
17
00:00:45.481 --> 00:00:46.565
by definition,
18
00:00:46.666 --> 00:00:47.288
is actually...
19
00:00:48.654 --> 00:00:49.396
Your brain,
20
00:00:49.637 --> 00:00:58.332
which picks up clues from your past experience and past memories and match them with current facts.
21
00:00:58.732 --> 00:01:01.132
And so you have aha moments.
22
00:01:01.452 --> 00:01:01.855
Oh yeah,
23
00:01:02.036 --> 00:01:04.892
I have already lived this situation in the past.
24
00:01:05.012 --> 00:01:09.912
It might be useful that I apply some of the rules which I applied before,
25
00:01:10.336 --> 00:01:11.692
which made me successful.
26
00:01:12.153 --> 00:01:14.012
I can reuse at this time.
27
00:01:14.432 --> 00:01:17.792
This is what I would define as intuition.
28
00:01:19.643 --> 00:01:19.944
Then,
29
00:01:20.826 --> 00:01:25.820
do I use intuition in my daily life?
30
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:30.376
I think it can be a complement to rational decision making.
31
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:35.769
So usually people collect,
32
00:01:35.970 --> 00:01:40.760
especially in the era of data collection as we are today.
33
00:01:41.783 --> 00:01:43.327
They collect a lot of data,
34
00:01:43.507 --> 00:01:45.212
they take a lot of advice,
35
00:01:45.452 --> 00:01:48.260
and then they still have to make that decision.
36
00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:56.240
And that's where intuition can be beneficial in addition to the rest of the data.
37
00:02:00.102 --> 00:02:10.420
So the question is how to use intuition in a business environment where preferentially people use data.
38
00:02:11.502 --> 00:02:15.860
and rely on facts rather than on intuition.
39
00:02:16.581 --> 00:02:28.080
I think one good example would be when you are making a deal with another company or when you are acquiring another company,
40
00:02:28.541 --> 00:02:31.300
it's good to use your intuition a little bit,
41
00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:34.300
especially what regards people,
42
00:02:34.862 --> 00:02:40.413
because sometimes it's very important that you have a good intuition.
43
00:02:42.864 --> 00:02:49.758
The different people of the different companies get along very well and have a certain fit.
44
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.213
And that oftentimes you can feel,
45
00:02:54.795 --> 00:02:55.036
well,
46
00:02:55.196 --> 00:02:55.919
this guy...
47
00:02:57.290 --> 00:02:59.294
I think it will work out.
48
00:03:00.035 --> 00:03:05.925
He has the approach which is similar to mine.
49
00:03:06.186 --> 00:03:07.368
I can live with it.
50
00:03:07.708 --> 00:03:23.088
And that's not your data which will tell you that it's the intuition you feel because your brain is picking in your vast reservoir of memories and data.
51
00:03:23.911 --> 00:03:26.137
and can make a comparison,
52
00:03:26.458 --> 00:03:32.175
match the facts to your experience and give you a sense of,
53
00:03:33.058 --> 00:03:33.339
yes,
54
00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:35.728
I can work with that person or not.
55
00:03:40.353 --> 00:03:41.374
I would say yes.
56
00:03:41.994 --> 00:03:57.047
I would say there is definitely a role of intuition in science because you can be confronted with two products which have the same or similar efficacy and safety profile,
57
00:03:57.647 --> 00:03:59.129
but you have to pick one.
58
00:03:59.729 --> 00:04:03.172
So you don't have the budget to cover both.
59
00:04:05.141 --> 00:04:07.848
Sometimes your intuition will tell you,
60
00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:08.810
well,
61
00:04:09.312 --> 00:04:24.369
that drug might be more useful because the mechanism of action is different and might be having an effect which is longer lasting maybe or which
62
00:04:25.070 --> 00:04:29.860
can be used for more people than the other drug.
63
00:04:35.606 --> 00:04:35.746
Yeah,
64
00:04:35.866 --> 00:04:38.651
intuition needs to be used wisely,
65
00:04:39.072 --> 00:04:45.924
and I would test drive intuition in order to make sure that I make the right decision.
66
00:04:46.084 --> 00:04:46.966
For example,
67
00:04:47.628 --> 00:04:53.282
when you are faced with a change in your career,
68
00:04:53.403 --> 00:04:53.964
for example,
69
00:04:54.064 --> 00:04:58.695
you have an opportunity to join a different company with a new job,
70
00:04:58.815 --> 00:05:00.620
with a promotion inside,
71
00:05:01.021 --> 00:05:02.364
that's very interesting.
72
00:05:03.087 --> 00:05:04.370
So you have data,
73
00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:08.259
obviously you can compare the size of the company,
74
00:05:08.861 --> 00:05:09.723
the products,
75
00:05:09.783 --> 00:05:09.963
etc.
76
00:05:10.985 --> 00:05:12.569
But still you need to know,
77
00:05:12.810 --> 00:05:17.904
do I join the other company or do I stay in my current one?
78
00:05:18.468 --> 00:05:19.515
So eventually
79
00:05:20.119 --> 00:05:20.823
I would say...
80
00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:26.731
Test drive your decisions and stick with three days,
81
00:05:26.931 --> 00:05:34.896
for three days think and act as if you are staying in your own company and feel what you are thinking.
82
00:05:35.538 --> 00:05:36.416
How do you feel?
83
00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:37.456
Are you happy?
84
00:05:37.578 --> 00:05:44.857
Are you feeling kind of bored or same thing with the other company.
85
00:05:45.929 --> 00:05:46.891
The new company,
86
00:05:46.992 --> 00:05:48.014
the workload,
87
00:05:48.034 --> 00:05:51.423
the additional workload which you might face,
88
00:05:51.824 --> 00:05:56.266
does it make you nauseous or does it make you full of excitement?
89
00:05:57.137 --> 00:06:07.053
So it's very interesting to feel that for a couple of days and see how you think about it and then compare it.
90
00:06:07.395 --> 00:06:16.354
And so your intuition can help you make a decision beyond the facts you know of the different companies,
91
00:06:16.794 --> 00:06:22.494
which are obviously clear,
92
00:06:22.994 --> 00:06:26.074
but your choice might not be as clear.

enough.

00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:18.212
Let's talk.
10
00:00:22.733 --> 00:00:26.288
Intuition is a gut feeling.
11
00:00:26.710 --> 00:00:27.755
It's gut feeling,
12
00:00:27.815 --> 00:00:30.408
it's not rational decision-making,
13
00:00:30.668 --> 00:00:32.128
which is often dismissed,
14
00:00:32.888 --> 00:00:36.008
and people think it's mystical,
15
00:00:37.332 --> 00:00:40.648
it's witchery to some extent.
16
00:00:41.948 --> 00:00:45.401

do I use intuition in my daily life?
30
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:30.376
I think it can be a complement to rational decision making.
