The businesswoman and communicator, Martha debaylehad the pleasure of giving a master lecture at the Harvard University with the name of “The power of intuition in business”where in front of more than a thousand master’s and postgraduate students, as well as entrepreneurs and businessmen, he was able to give his point of view on the keys that make you emerge victorious in the business world.
More than 24 years of experience as a businesswoman, Martha Debayle has always been committed to sharing her knowledge and experience with all the brands she has developed. under his concept “Share Knowledge”in said event he had the purpose of inspiring the new generations about the power of intuition as an instrument for take decisionshow to nurture it, when to listen to it and the way in which she continues to use it in the most decisive moments of her career.
What are the three elements to succeed in business?
For Martha Debayle there are three factors widely related to intuition that may be the keys to being successful in any business, they are the following:
1. Trust yourself
The businesswoman said that throughout her career on the radio, she has discovered over and over again in her career that the right decision is not always the most popular.
“It’s easy to do something while everyone around you is applauding, but true leadership and true success come first to those who are willing to follow through despite criticism, or even ridicule, eye rolls, or silence, when they have to do it, that is why I always tell them: if they want what few have, they have to do what few do”, Debayle expressed.
2. Hard work
Debayle widely believes in hard work, he believes that someone will not always feel comfortable in various situations, but learning to deal with discomfort is part of the same thing, but in professional life, to make decisions, a person must Learn to trust your intuition.
The famous businesswoman commented that “to get what they want, in addition to hard work, they have to understand that chance and they have to leave their skin to achieve it, they are going to have to learn, sooner or later, how to feel comfortable feeling uncomfortable. Because in professional life they will give you a thousand and one reasons not to make big decisions, not to take risks, not to be daring and it will be up to you to respond and I hope that when that moment comes, you can trust your intuition”.
On the other hand, he cited that experts consider intuition to be a natural extension of our knowledge and the diversity of our experience. In this sense, if intuition is a skill that can be learned, if it really is something that grows and develops like we do, then that means that harnessing intuition takes work.
You have to accept that intuition is not a substitute for hard work, it is a product of it.”
Martha Debayle clarified.
3. Do what you believe
Debayle said you have to do something you believe in.
“I will give you an example: if you have already thought about the business, against all odds, you are working extremely hard to make it bear fruit, the third thing is to believe in that business and take it with clear objectives towards the future,” he explained.
Likewise, he recalled that in business life you not only have to make decisions that are the most profitable or convenient in the short term, but that they must also be the right ones for yourself in a broader sense, this means that your decisions should fill you with pride , because they will have consequences in your life, they speak of your values and passions.
And they will say but how do I realize that? They will know if it gives them peace of mind and they can have peace in what they do, for me, it’s that voice that I was following as a child and it’s that voice that I’ve tried to follow ever since. Now, three decades after much blood, sweat and tears, I run the most listened to morning radio show in Mexico, reaching millions of listeners every month and having a lot of fun doing it.”
boasted the businesswoman.
She thanked intuition, because she said that she learned to listen to it and that this led her to radio, TV, the world, cosmetics, her guiding light is to think about what she does believe or what she doesn’t. She has also hinted that intuition can help protect you against groupthink or conventional wisdom, but the truth is that the no one’s intuition is infalliblehe stressed.
On the other hand, he said that you have to learn to trust and make the most of the abilities of the people around you and in their intuition, which is almost as valuable as trusting yours. “That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with talented people who know things you don’t, who have different experiences than you, whose perspectives and backgrounds are diverse,” she said.
“That’s where the other aspect of that comes in, understanding where intuition works and where it doesn’t. We know, for example, that human intuition is really unreliable in things like guessing statistical results, but that it is immensely powerful in creative processes like product development. The key is to recognize when and where intuition is sufficient on its own, and when and where it is a complement to analysis, deliberation and precision,” he commented.
Finally, the businesswoman and presenter acknowledged that thanks to people who study behavioral economics and neuroscience, that under the right conditions, human intuition is actually quite reliable. In addition, she cited Daniel Kahneman’s book on Thinking, Fast and Slow, where it is described that intuition is something similar to recognition. “Not only are you finding the correct answer, you are realizing that you already know it, but that does not mean that it is a shortcut, on the contrary, it can be a doubt that clouds our vision, especially of what we have in front of us” he remembered.
