Is "Intuitive Guessing" tongue in cheek in a data-driven world?

Yes, it's true we like to have fun, but we're serious about data coming in many different forms. Our philosophy centers on confidently navigating the spectrum between certainty and the unknown — blending traditional data with inner wisdom for a wonder-filled approach to decision-making.

Meet the Team


  • Co-Founder | Strategist | Facilitator

    Irene brings over a decade of Design and Strategy consulting experience to Intuitive Guessing. Her passion for working with teams and organizations stems from her involvement in over 50 projects with various Product teams in a wide array of industries. Recognizing that every product challenge came with unaddressed organizational complexities, her work gradually shifted toward navigating the nuances of organizational cultures and team dynamics—aligning leaders and cross-functional teams and helping her clients up-level their internal processes.

    Irene is driven by the belief that clarity and employee well-being are the foundations to team effectiveness in achieving business goals. Through a blend of team workshops, personalized coaching, and contemplative practices, she establishes a safe and enjoyable environment to illuminate insights and pain points at multiple levels— organizational, operational, cultural, relational, and customer/client experience. The collaborative process taps into the knowledge and wisdom within each team, paving the way for innovative solutions and alignment that yield tangible outcomes.


  • Co-Founder | Coach | Facilitator

    For over a decade, Whitney has worked with executives and leaders in a variety of companies and industries. What continues to excite her about leadership development, especially coaching, is that it is a gateway experience for leaders to explore facets of themselves that might not otherwise surface outside the context of professional development. It’s both a tool and a relationship that fosters deeper self-awareness, ultimately leading to greater effectiveness, and personal fulfillment, as a leader. What often starts as a desire to improve specific job-related skills becomes an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Understanding one’s internal operating system empowers leaders to build stronger relationships, see themselves as part of a dynamic system, and develop greater adaptability and strategic thinking.

    As an Integral Coach, Whitney believes that life is anything but static, and we all benefit from intentional time and attention towards our growth, allowing us to contribute our best and most vibrant selves to the world.

We believe…

… all desire is valid, outcomes are emergent, and the magic's in the planning (not the plans). All synthesis is intuitive and contemplative practices “till the soil” to tap the inner wisdom that unleashes potential and lays the foundation for inspired change.

Awareness Leads to Action

Teams must cultivate a deep understanding of their inner knowing, organizational aspirations, and the outer landscape. With this awareness, teams “till the soil” for purposeful action, making decisions and choices that reference a fuller picture and allow for confident, bold leaps forward.

Co-Creation Increases Adoption

Participatory design empowers teams by engaging them in the design process, increasing ownership, understanding needs, fostering buy-in, promoting collaboration, and facilitating iterative refinement.

Transformation Requires Empathy

Empathy is a fundamental aspect of our process as we strive to understand the perspectives, needs, and challenges of all stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, and other applicable people or communities.

Holistic Well-Being Sustains Holistic Solutions

We believe in the importance of nurturing not just the professional collective, but the personal well-being of each individual. Our process infuses mindfulness practices to enhance focus, reduce stress, and create a working environment characterized by attentiveness and care.
