Instinctual intelligence pioneer to pay us a visit
The Centre for Coaching at the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business will host a once-off workshop on instinctual leadership on 5 and 6 February that promises to help delegates to build a richer and more satisfying life and career.
Led by Ted Usatynski, the founder and director of Instinctual Intelligence - an education, training and consulting initiative based in California, USA - the workshop will explore, among others, how to unlock greater boldness and creativity by overcoming the shame response and how to harness anxiety so that it becomes an ally and not stressor.
“Succeeding in today’s world is not easy. It requires discipline, courage, daring - and a heavy dose of social and emotional savvy. More than anything else, it requires developing the psychological maturity needed to make the right choices in your life and stay on the path you know is true.
“We seek to teach clients to recognise and value their own instinctual responses as they occur in their body. Most human beings largely ignore their gut feelings because many of us were taught to be ashamed of our bodies and natural instinctual responses to life. So the first step is always one of making friends with the hidden instinctual forces that are arising all the time in their bodies. The next phase of training involves getting comfortable with feeling and expressing this energy with others,” says Usatynski.
