Laura Huang:
Do you think intuition works better in big life decisions, or in smaller everyday choices?
Laura Huang
I think intuition shows up in both small and big decisions, though in different ways. In everyday choices, like which route to take to work or who to sit next to at a conference, it often operates quietly, almost like background music. Those small nudges can create ripple effects you don’t notice until later.
In bigger decisions, such as career moves, relationships, or investments, intuition tends to feel louder and more urgent. What’s fascinating is that research shows our gut is often most reliable in areas where we’ve built up experience. So if you’ve been in your field for years, your intuition about a career leap may be sharper than you realize.
