Bozoma Saint John: The creative power of your intuition · 12:27 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: In an era of data-driven decision making, Bozoma Saint John argues that the most powerful ideas often come from within. This talk explores why trusting your intuition is essential for becoming a creative trailblazer.

Saint John, the Chief Marketing Officer at Netflix, suggests that great ideas behave like electricity—sudden, sharp, and fast-moving. While data is a valuable tool, an overreliance on it can stifle the spark of true innovation.

The video explores the shift from purely analytical thinking to embracing intuition. By tapping into your own creative instincts, you can capture fleeting ideas and lead with a more authentic, visionary approach to problem-solving.
