Did you know that intuition is fundamental to our intelligence and well-being? That it is key to our major discoveries and breakthroughs? Do you remember the last time you listened to your intuition and what happened as a result? Hrund explores the power of intuition in today’s world through the lens of ‘InnSæi’, the Icelandic concept for intuition, and how it enables us to ‘tune in’, see the big picture, lead with impact and successfully navigate uncertainty towards new horizons.

She is the author of the book InnSæi: Icelandic wisdom for turbulent times, and Co-director and script writer of the documentary film InnSæi: The Power of Intuition, both available worldwide.
