    Telling the Truth and Creating Value feat. Erin Davis

    In this episode, Leah is joined by Erin Davis — founder and lead inclusion strategist of Erin Davis Co. in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Erin is an award-winning strategist, speaker, and advisor with over twenty years experience helping executive teams, boards, and communities create environments where people can contribute fully. We dive into Values, the V in the VIEW framework, and how telling the truth about whose values shape our systems creates value for everyone. * Why better systems start with the courage to tell the truth, and how the truth changes depending on where you stand * How Erin decides what evolves, what gets protected, and what she won’t compromise as her work meets politics and pushback * Debate versus dialogue, and how Erin’s Connect Cards help leaders bridge differences * The curb cut effect: how designing for more people creates value for everyone * What comes up when Erin interprets her own Corporate Tarot Cards® reading, live on the show Learn more about Erin’s work:Website: ErinDavisCo.caLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/erin-davis-coErin’s Podcast - Unapologetic with Erin Davis: https://www.erindavisco.ca/unapologetic-podcast Connect Cards: https://www.erindavisco.ca/shop/connect-cards Learn more about Intuition Strategy at IntuitionStrategist.comBook your free 15-minute Clarity Blueprint at ClarityBlueprintWithLeah.com Share with a friend, leave a review, and don’t forget to subscribe!

    Discernment in Action: HIT in the Field

    This week, Leah steps back to connect the season’s first three conversations — with Bobbie Carlton, Khalil Smith, and Tracy Litt — and reveals the through-line running underneath all of them: discernment. Each guest was practicing a different phase of the HIT framework, at a different scale, in a completely different field. Together, they show what it actually looks like to hear, interpret, and trust your intuition in real time. * What a decade of people stopping you on the street can teach you about timing your gut * The art technique that explains why one piece of feedback should never change your mind * Why “I’m not ready yet” might be the wrong question to ask yourself * The skill showing up across boardrooms right now, and why organizations like Ernst & Young are putting real money behind it * What’s next as the season turns from HIT to the VIEW framework for decision-making Learn more about Intuition Strategy at IntuitionStrategist.comBook your free 15-minute Clarity Blueprint at ClarityBlueprintWithLeah.com Share with a friend, leave a review, and don’t forget to subscribe!

    Deciding to Trust and Becoming Aligned feat. Tracy Litt

    In this episode, I’m joined by Tracy Litt — visionary founder of The School of Becoming, creator of The Choice Method, and someone mid-transformation herself: launching a second company to bring her IP directly into corporations and organizations. We dive into what it actually means to live in trust, why readiness is a decision and not a feeling, and what it looks like to build something that doesn’t depend on you being in every room. * Why “readiness is a decision, not a feeling” changes how you take action * Inside The Choice Method: notice the pattern, regulate the nervous system, choose from who you’re becoming * What comes up when Tracy reflects on her custom Corporate Tarot Cards® reading, live on the show * Trust as a discipline — why an idea can simmer before it’s time, and how strategy fits into intuition * Turning inward work outward: building a company (or a culture) that can run without you in it Learn more about Tracy’s work:Instagram: @thetracylitt LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tracylittlesterWebsite: TheSchoolOfBecoming.comThe Choice Method: TheSchoolOfBecoming.com/the-choice-method Learn more about Intuition Strategy at IntuitionStrategist.comBook your free 15-minute Clarity Blueprint at ClarityBlueprintWithLeah.com Share with a friend, leave a review, and don’t forget to subscribe!

    Building Community with Innovation and Intuition feat. Bobbie Carlton

    2.1 Building Community with Innovation and Intuition feat. Bobbie Carlton On this episode of The Intuition Strategist Podcast, Leah Goldman is joined by guest Bobbie Carlton of Carlton PR & Marketing, Innovation Nights and Innovation Women. Together they explore the role that hearing your intuition plays in the world of innovation and entrepreneurship, through Bobbie’s experience as a community builder and event host. Bobbie shares her experience and how early internet and social media shifts revealed the power of individual reach and led her to build community-based platforms supporting startups and increasing women speakers. She discusses renewed demand for in-person events, including a partnership with Boston’s Museum of Science to run three Innovation Nights events in 2026, and a successful pilot of “Speaker Friends Live,” which produced extensive photos and videos for speakers’ sizzle reels. Using Corporate Tarot Cards® to explore next steps of her recent event, “Speaker Friends Live”, Leah and Bobbie explore how the cards provide insight to resource constraints, pricing realities, and the decision to run additional iterations before scaling or licensing the event format.

    Season 2 of The Intuition Strategist podcast is coming soon! In season 1 of The Intuition Strategist podcast, we covered many of the fundamentals of Intuition Strategy® and what it means to lead in a VUCA world: Volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous.

In season 2, you're not just hearing Leah Goldman teach Intuition Strategy®, you'll also be learning from real leaders as they live it. Every conversation this season traces back to a piece of the Intuition Strategy® Operating System: what it actually looks like to trust your gut, to make fast, confident decisions, and to get aligned results. And we get dispatches from out in the leadership field. What happens when both intuition and strategy are tested by real ambiguity, real crossroads, real life. If season one was the map, season two is hearing the stories of people walking it. Season two comes out in September, and I am so excited to share the new season, rich conversations, and Corporate Tarot Cards® readings with you. Because intuition without action is just a daydream.

    18. Trust Your Gut: The HIT Framework for Intuitive Leadership

    In this episode of The Intuition Strategist, we explore what it really means to trust your gut and how to make intuition not just personal, but powerful in your leadership. We’re breaking down the HIT Framework: Hear, Interpret, Trust. This is the tool I use across all of my work with individual leaders and executive teams to strengthen intuition as a reliable data source—especially in uncertain, high-stakes environments. You’ll learn: * Why intuition is not the opposite of logic. It’s fast, embodied logic built from experience * How to hear the signal beneath the noise (and what blocks it) * Why interpretation is essential—and how tools like Corporate Tarot Cards® can help you decode what your gut is saying * What it means to trust your inner advisor and take aligned action without needing external proof We also dive into how intuitive leadership shows up in strategy tools you already use—like SWOT analysis, risk matrices, and strategic planning—and how to bring your whole self to decision-making in a VUCA world. Plus, what collective intuition feels like in the boardroom and the conference room, how teams align when they listen beneath the surface, and why every leap you take strengthens your signal. Whether you're navigating a crossroads or making everyday decisions, this episode will give you a grounded, actionable way to tap into your intuitive intelligence—individually and collectively. Mentioned in this episode: * Ep 17. From Separation to Integration: Why Connection is the New Strategy * Ep 5. Building Trust in Your Gut: Foundations of Intuition Strategy * Ep 9. The VIEW Framework: Slow Down, Tune In, Decide Reflective prompt: What decision are you sitting with right now? What would it look like to trust the feeling underneath it—just a little? — 💌 Want more?

    17. From Separation to Integration: Why Connection Is the New Strategy

    In this solo episode, I go back to the beginning - to my 40th birthday, a salt cave, and a moment of quiet that showed me why I do this work. Connection has always been at the heart of my life: connecting ideas, people, disciplines, languages, frameworks. From consulting rooms to campfires, sorority to strategy decks, I've spent my whole life translating between worlds. And now, through Intuition Strategy®, I’m blending business and personal, logic and intuition, structure and spirit. This episode kicks off a new series exploring the full framework of Intuition Strategy—Trust Your Gut, Make Decisions, Get Results—and why it's not just a toolkit for business, but a model for aligned living. We cover: * Why I believe connection is the root of clarity * How to translate business tools like OKRs, SWOTs, and strategy maps into personal tools * Why the wall between “personal” and “professional” is crumbling—and what to do with that truth * The role of actionable intuition in shaping your next chapter * What it really means to be whole (and how that shows up in my Corporate Tarot Cards®) Ready to strengthen your intuition?
