“Like the wolf, intuition has claws that pry things open and pin things down, it has eyes that can see through the shields of the persona, it has ears that hear beyond the range of mundane human understanding.” Clarissa Rinkola Estes, Women Who Run with the Wolves

For Marcia Emery, Ph.D., psychologist, consultant, author, international lecturer, media personality, and college professor, intuition is a trusted old friend that's becoming a breakthrough management tool.

Dr. Emery first understood intuition's wealth in 1970 through a dream in which her car brakes failed. The car rolled over several times, but she got out unharmed. The intuitive warning implicit in the dream was ignored, yet three days later her car was totaled when the brakes did indeed fail. Since then, her extensive clinical, academic and business experience has yielded rare insights into intuition's extraordinary manifestations and its strength as a tool for facilitating personal and professional transformation.

In 1983, Marcia Emery's launched her "Power Hunch" seminars. Now highly acclaimed, they've been presented to scores of individuals from such organization as Lucent Technologies, Amway Corporation, Blue Care Network, General Motors, Donnelly Corporation, Herman Miller Co., Hewlett Packard, Butterworth Hospital, Michigan Employment Security Commission, and Steelcase. In nearly two decades, she has witnessed the business world move from a position of wariness to one of genuine welcome. And today, with cyber-acceleration having spawned its own brand of psychic whiplash, intuition is much sought after by business folk to mitigate their frenzy, facilitate decision-making and fuel creativity.

In 1984, Dr. Emery pioneered the first college course in whole brain thinking at Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Entitled, Integrating Intuition and Logic for Managers, her students — Master of Management candidates from leading international corporations, government, and small business — became the first wave of decision makers formally trained in the new technique. Currently, Dr. Emery is a faculty member at the University of Philosophical Research; Dr. Carol Ritberger's Medical Intuition Training and Certification Program; the Kaiser Institute Program for Intuition, under the direction of Lee Kaiser, well-known visionary in the healthcare field; and at the Holmes Institute's Graduate School of Consciousness Studies. Dr. Emery serves on the advisory board of the Intuition Network, Online Noetic Network and the Anxiety and Phobia Peer Support Network.
