In this past week...

I've been called a few names.

"Strategist on Steroids" and "The Bubbly Business Sherlock Holmes."

The first came from a Journalist and the second from 30 something-year-olds who wanted to understand what I do for a living and how I do what I do. 

They own a drone company. They are independent contractors of Southern California Edison and their job is to evaluate the Southern California Edison Power Boxes. Their drones fly into hard-to-reach areas and survey the safety of their utilities.

I liked both names. They are both true. The Los Angeles Times, years ago, touted me as "The Bubbly Sherlock Holmes."

I found it refreshing to read Richard Branson's article I've included below. He references thinking and seeing different than others as a child and how that seemed like a handicap.

I can relate because for as long as I can remember, there were adults in my life who gave me a tough time as a kid because I could see outcomes so clearly and know things about people in an instant. It was maddening to me, that they couldn't see what I could see so clearly.

Starting in my teens, I followed the pictures in my mind, relayed blocks of information I received when someone spoke about their business; although I was seemingly having a regular conversation, at least I thought so, and so did they. 

It wasn't until the LA TIMES article on the cover of the METRO section that I realized I had something else unique going on with me. It was also evident to the owner and the CFO.

So many of the Biographies I like to read are about people who think differently and uniquely see things by tapping into and trusting their knowingness.

When individuals understand how their intuition speaks to them and become visionaries, they become a paradigm shifter that changes the game.

I'm glad that my "boot camp" training ground (early family life) caused me to instantly NEED TO understand situations, read outcomes in advance, and trust my instincts about people when I received a personal download about them. It saved my life.

These unique skills have taken me on the most fantastic adventure working in some of the most prestigious organizations in the world. I've expanded my mind in ways that I could not have imagined because of the lofty conversations I get to have with my clients daily.

Figuring out the seemingly "Unfiguroutable? " cases in record time, thereby saving businesses and companies tons of dollars - is rewarding. The more intricate, the better, and the more they say it's impossible to solve - I say, "BRING IT."
