Where will your next big idea come from?

Analyzing hard data? A corporate brainstorming session? Customer focus groups? Or closer to home?

Successful people don’t wait for proof that their idea will work. They learn to trust their gut and go.

In Hunch, international bestselling author and business adviser Bernadette Jiwa shows you how to harness the power of your intuition so you can recognize opportunities others miss and create the breakthrough idea the world is waiting for. She explores inspired hunches, from one that led to the launch of the breakout GoldieBlox brand to another that helped a doctor reduce infant mortality rates around the world.

Filled with success stories, reflection exercises, and writing prompts, Hunch is the indispensable guide to embracing your unique potential and discovering your own winning ideas.

Another dimension to thinking creatively

This book made me understand the importance of empathy in innovation, the importance of constant thinking on how to improve things, the art of pattern recognition, thinking differently and lastty that its so important to create the next big thing in a tiny corner of the world rarther than always going after the next big thing.

My Hunch was right!
