Much of past, and some present, business is based on the visible, the concrete, the measured – if it can’t be proven then it can’t be real, it has no worth. And yet with women coming to the fore in leadership and business, how much of our ‘female intuition’ can be measured and proven? When we ‘feel’ that we should go in a certain direction with a business deal, when we feel prompted to trust, or not trust, a situation in business or negotiations. And it’s usually not based on the concrete, the measured, but rather on a ‘gut feel’ – an intuition.

Leadership is not taught. It is learnt through personal experiences, hardships and challenges. And leadership is honed when faith comes into play.
