Intuition coaching for executives and sales teams
Lead with instinct.
Move with clarity.

The premise
Intuition isn’t reserved for the selected few. Each one of us is born with it, but what we do with it makes the difference.
Intuition isn’t a skill set. It comes from the same natural system as your fight-or-flight response: an inner knowing that reacts before conscious thought catches up. Under pressure, many leaders learn to ignore it, waiting for more data and talking themselves out of what they already sense. The good news is that intuition can be developed and strengthened, so it guides your direction and decisions first, before the logistics and analysis are considered.
Notice the signal
Your intuition is already speaking: a sense of clarity, a pull in one direction, a quiet “not this.” Learn to hear it before it gets talked away.
Let it lead
Let intuition set the direction before the spreadsheets come out. It moves faster than analysis and often senses what the data can’t show yet.
Then plan the how
Bring in the data and logistics to shape how you get there, not to drown out what you already know. Leaders who work this way decide faster and with more conviction.

The REBEL Read
Your process tells you what to find out. Intuition tells you if you found it.
The REBEL Read is Colby’s signature approach for sales conversations. It works with the sales process your team already uses and adds the layer most training skips: hearing what’s underneath the answers. Reps learn five signals to read in every conversation, and how to act on them with confidence.
R · Reality
Where the buyer stands today, and how it feels to stand there.
E · Edge
What’s truly at stake, beyond the problem that’s easy to say.
B · Believers
Titles tell you who signs. Energy tells you who believes.
E · Energy
The real “why now,” whether they say it or show it.
L · Landing
Helping them picture the yes before you ask for it.
Works with the process you already have
Your team has invested in a way of selling. Keep it. The REBEL Read fits on top of any qualification or discovery approach, so reps get more from every conversation without learning a new system. We tailor each session to your team’s process, language and real deals.
For sales teams
The best deals are built on what people don’t say out loud.
A typical discovery call is full of small signals: a pause before a budget answer, a change in tone when a competitor comes up, a stakeholder who leans in. Every rep’s intuition picks these up. Reps who learn to trust it can respond in the moment, build trust faster and keep the conversation moving forward.
Notice
Catch the moment while it’s happening instead of replaying it after the call.
Name it
Ask the question the buyer is thinking but hasn’t asked yet.
Adapt
Shift pace, tone and focus to fit the person in front of you, not a script.
How it works
A clear process, built around your goals
1. Discovery call
A short conversation about your team, your goals and the decisions or deals that matter most right now.
2. Tailored plan
A program designed for your people: one-on-one coaching, a team workshop, an intensive or an event session.
3. Practice
Interactive sessions built on real scenarios from your business, with exercises people can repeat on their own to keep strengthening their intuition.
4. Integration
Simple daily habits and follow-up so trusting your intuition shows up in meetings, calls and decisions long after the session.

FAQ
What companies usually ask
What do you mean by intuition in a business setting?
Intuition isn’t a learned skill. It’s the natural inner knowing everyone is born with, part of the same system that drives your fight-or-flight response. It reacts before conscious analysis does: the sense that a deal is right, a candidate is a fit or a plan needs another look. Many leaders have learned to ignore it. We help them develop and strengthen it so it can guide direction and decisions before the logistics and analysis come in.
How does intuition fit with data-driven decision making?
Intuition comes first and data follows. Your intuition points the direction; the analysis and logistics then shape how you get there. Most executives already sense the answer before the numbers arrive. The work is learning to trust that signal instead of overriding it.
Can intuition really be strengthened?
Yes. Everyone has intuition, but like any natural ability it gets quieter when it’s ignored and stronger when it’s used. Through simple, repeatable practices, leaders and sales teams learn to notice it sooner, trust it more and act on it with confidence.
What does a sales team training workshop actually cover?
Reading buyer cues, understanding what each buyer truly needs, adapting to different communication styles and building trust quickly. Sessions use role-play and your team’s real call scenarios, and work alongside the sales methodology you already use.
How do we measure results?
We agree on the outcomes that matter to you at the start, such as decision speed, win rates, deal-cycle length or team alignment, and check progress against them during and after the program.
Where do you work in person?
Anywhere your team is. Colby travels to company offices, leadership offsites, sales kickoffs and conferences across the U.S. and internationally.
Do you work with remote and global teams?
Yes. Every program is available virtually, so distributed and international teams can take part from anywhere in the world.
Can Colby speak at our sales kickoff or company event?
Yes. Colby is available as a keynote speaker for sales kickoffs, leadership summits, conferences and company events, in person or virtually, for groups of 20 to 500.
