Intuition in Business with Francis Cholle

Francis Cholle is author of The Intuitive Compass: Why the Best Decisions Balance Reason and Instinct. He is also founder and director of The Human Company.

Here he discusses the role of play, as a tool to enable individuals to access the deeper reaches of the mind that foster creativity and intuition. He notes that many valuable intuitive techniques are derived from the method acting tradition of Stanislavsky and Strasberg. He also compares the types of mental activity associated with the games of Go and Chess. He maintains that one of the most important tools for achieving a breakthrough in consciousness is simply to admit that one does not have an answer.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). His master's degree is in criminology. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
