About the Session
We continue to be faced with compounding uncertain times. As Design Leaders, we are looked to by our teams for the answers, inducing anxiety for us. In these uncertain times, normal business frameworks don’t always lead to an obvious solution. We encourage our teams to access their subconscious for brainstorming to solve creative problems, but we also deserve techniques to access our subconscious to help unlock all of our decision making. Using data to prove that this is a trend sweeping society, this talk will detail practical methods for accessing the subconscious to help make decisions by looking at problems differently and alleviating anxiety and stress around decision making. The surprise twist is that these practices are traditionally considered mystical and not usually used in business: the tarot, breathwork and shamanic journeying.
